When I say that when American journalism is writing on
some subject they first check the White House standing on that subject and
after that they cannot go 'to far from reality' I mean this. The next
timeline around the second intifada is a relatively good example on this,
to make precise what I mean you can look below at 19 June 2003 and
further. At 19 June 2003 I decided to jump in
because that so called 'road map' looked relatively ok to me. With the
wisdom of hindsight you can say that the American government did by far
not put enough pressure on the Israeli government. The policy of wiping
Hamas leaders out one at a time was asking for trouble of course, this
trouble will now continue for a long time simply to show that this White
House is not capable doing it herself...
Raw Data: Timeline of Mideast Violence
T-- Sept. 28, 2000: Ariel Sharon, then Israel's opposition leader, visits a Jerusalem shrine holy to Jews and Muslims. Clashes erupt, widen to broader conflict that buries peace talks and Ehud Barak's government.
-- Feb. 6, 2001: Sharon elected prime minister in landslide.
-- May 21, 2001: Amid escalating violence, international commission submits report calling for end to violence, never implemented.
-- June 13, 2001: CIA director George Tenet negotiates cease-fire framework, also not implemented.
-- Feb. 18, 2002: Saudi initiative calls for Israeli pullout from all occupied territories in exchange for peace with Arab world. Sharon rejects it.
-- March 29, 2002: After month in which 136 Israelis are killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly homicide bombings, Israel launches Operation Defensive Shield to rout Palestinian militant groups, reoccupying Palestinian towns in the West Bank.
-- June 19, 2002: After brief lull, new spate of homicide bombings prompts Israel's Operation Determined Path, leading to takeover of most West Bank towns.
-- June 24, 2002: Siding with Sharon, President Bush calls on Palestinians to replace Yasser Arafat as the Palestinian leader.
-- Jan. 28, 2003: Sharon re-elected in landslide.
-- April 30, 2003: Mahmoud Abbas takes office as Palestinian prime minister.
-- May 1, 2003: "Road map" to peace presented to both sides; Palestinians immediately accept it.
-- May 25, 2003: Israel's government conditionally accepts road map.
-- June 4, 2003: Abbas, Sharon meet President Bush at summit in Aqaba, Jordan, launching the peace plan.
-- June 11, 2003: Attack on Jerusalem bus kills 17.
-- June 19, 2003: Bombing at grocery store in Sde Trumot in Jordan Valley kills one Israeli.
**June 19, Exactly one week after some of my 'stupid
trials' around here in Holland I decided to jump in and I
wrote 'Hamas chill out a bit please'. My dear but
stupid American journalists, just look in your own files on
this, the seachange was fast and fundamental.
**June 26 and June 27, small attacks against Israelis
continued (a shooting at a car or so) I asked the Hamas
(June 26) and al Aqsa brigades (June 27) if they could stop
doing 'small stuff'. The words I do not remember anymore,
but on both days there was within one or 1 1/2 hour an echo
via the Media saying 'We are holding (weapons) down' (or
words like that).
Again my dear American journalists, check for yourself!
-- June 29, 2003: The militant Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups and Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement declare immediate suspensions of attacks against Israel, and Israel begins pulling troops out of Gaza.
-- July 7, 2003: homicide bomber in house in Kfar Yavetz kills one Israeli woman.
-- Aug. 12, 2003: Two bombings -- at a bus stop near the West Bank settlement of Ariel and a bus stop in the Israeli town of Rosh Haayin -- kill two Israelis.
**Aug 14, Ok everything went more or less fine, it
went far to slow but it went to the right side. Only the
Israelis did not stop with firing rockets and stuff like
that into Palestine neighborhoods, this was a concern to me.
Read letter nr
three in case you want to check my words!
-- Aug. 19, 2003: Hamas homicide bombing on a Jerusalem bus kills 22 people, causing Israel to intensify military campaign to crush Palestinian militants and target their leaders in helicopter missile strikes.
**Aug 20, It was clear the truce was at an end so I
just wrote 'It is clear the truce has ended. (Or words
like that). Again you can check for yourself in the long
story at date 20
Augustus.
-- Aug. 21, 2003: Palestinian militants call off 2-month-old unilateral cease-fire after an Israeli helicopter kills a senior Hamas political leader in Gaza with a volley of missiles.
-- Sept. 4, 2003: Abbas asks parliament to either support him or strip him of his post, saying infighting is keeping him from making progress on U.S.-backed peace plan.
-- Sept. 6, 2003: Abbas submits his resignation to Arafat, who accepts it, according to a Palestinian official.

So American journalism (but Dutch and
other European Media outlets too) do you get my point? Because your
government is not willing to confront the (possible) truth to nine eleven
they are standing outside reality. Therefore you cannot go 'to far' from
the position of your government and you cannot help me at the moment that
this is needed, take a look at the bold facts: Did
the Israeli government take into account what 'some part' was a driving
motivator for the Palestines? I mean those letters I wrote? Likely not,
just ask them because I am fed up with it. No,
the Americans cannot deny that they for sure win the Weasel Award for
weasel journalism! It has been observed over and again, at the very moment
the White House is standing outside reality the rest nicely follows...
That is so fake, again I dare the White House in saying that the number of
bombs from August is a clear signal that they are standing outside the
real version of the War on Terror. Bye
fake journalism, live well and write as usual... Title:
The Weasel Award for Weasel
journalism goes to the Americans.
