AP Supports Palensinians

In case you want yet more example of the bias inherent in the press, view this picture posted by the AP. Their caption:

A more accurate caption:
Um Nidal, mother of three violent, deadly mass murderers, defends the actions of her mass-murdering children at a cermony marking the 18th anniversary of the founding of a cult formed to exterminate the Jewish people from the face of the earth. The murderous extremist group Hamas organized the rally at a camp of like-minded murderers where 2000 racists who hate America and all Jews gathered.

My caption contained more facts.

(H/T to Kender who wants to know why "We think we can win anything when the "MSM" is so far against us?").

2 Sometimes Palestinians call terrorists martyrs but that is also what they call random people who get shot in the Israeli/Terrorist confrontations. Contrary to often spouted opinion, most Palestinians do not engage in terrorist tactics. It only take a few crazies to cause a lot of trouble.

It is a shame about Sharon it finally looked like we had a chance of peace there.

3 Seth, you can have peace, and you can have it now.

Surrender.

4 But you can have peace...

5 Unfortunately, it seems that the pacifists that learn that lesson all end up dead -- so all we're left with are pacifists that do not understand evil.

6 Let's have a bake sale to raise money for airline tickets...but we'll have to ship them from somewhere other than Charlotte since Independence Air just went under, leaving no competition for USAir in Charlotte again.

7 I guess you could also have peace by killing every Palestinian man, woman and child too.

I think it is interesting that you said AP supports Palestinians instead of AP support terrorist. Don't see that a person can be a Palestinian and not a killer.

8 True. Palestinian and terrorist are pretty much interchangable...

9 So why not just kill them all.

10 I never advocating killing anyone. ?

11 It seems pretty clear from the Hamas rally these “martyr” were really terrorist. I will give you that. Some of these people don’t know what real martyrdom means.

However, it is quite wrong to equate Palestinians with Hamas. Especially since when they were given a chance to have free election, Hamas ran and did badly. It seems your average Palestinian does not think that blowing up random Israelis in shopping centers is a good idea. (They may feel different about Israel soldiers) It would be like saying the United States supports Ross Perot.

I just think that you are to smart to be equating the digesting crimes of some evil criminals with an entire ethnic group.
