The Reporters are Circling..

It is 7:40 am in Israel now. I heard about Sharon's second stroke about an hour ago. After looking at the headlines, and seeing the statement from the head of the PFLP that this is "G-d's gift", my first reaction was disgust.

I think that the MSM here in Israel is also disgusted - and worried. It looks really bad.

What to do?

Even out the coverage of course. Deep in my bones I have the feeling that there are enterprising reporters out there interviewing "right wing nutjobs" hoping to get the same type of idiotic statement.

If the person making the statement has a kippa and lives in Judea or Samaria, all the better.

How long will it take? I give it a few hours, at the most.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the PFLP and MSM?

PFLP refers to one of the Arab terrorist groups (..For the Liberation of Palestine)...

MSM refers to the MainStreamMedia, which in Israel is left wing. The English Jerusalem Post is the closest thing to an objective paper here, and many think that it is also left leaning.

The quote is from Achmed Jabril, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
