Blatant Media Spin

World News Daily has manipulated a news story in a blatant media spin:

Under intense American pressure and following a nearly unprecedented behind-the-scenes U.S. campaign, the Israeli government has decided not to bulldoze Palestinians homes built illegally on Jewish-owned property in Jerusalem, WND has learned.


In an obvious right-wing, pro-Israel slant, WDN is highlighting typical media terms used exclusively against Israel but in this story, they are utilized to cast aspersion on both the new American administration and the activities of Jerusalem Arabs.

Now, why didn't any other news outlet do the same?

Silwan was illegally (under international law) annexed by Israel after 1967 war.

WDN fails to mention that fact.

Golly, Galia, you should do a check:

1.

Silwan was a Yemenite Jewish neighborhood until it was ethnicaly cleansed of Jews in 1936. Many of the Arabs squatting in Jewish properties can show you the mezzuzah marks on their door posts. Western leftists need to discard the idea that if Arabs are successful in ethincally cleansing Jews from a piece of land, that that land is forever thereafter "Palestinian land."

2.

The TRUE ethnic cleansing of Silwan already occured. Silwan was established by Yemenite Jews in 1882. In 1884, the Yemenites moved into new stone houses built for them on the eastern slope of the Kidron, by a charity called Ezrat Niddahim. This settlement was called "Kfar Hashiloach" or "the Yemenite Village." In the 1936-39 Arab Riots sponsored by the Grand Mufti Al-Husseini, all the Jews were ethnically cleansed from their homes. Its entirely possible that the descendants of the ethnic cleansers are still living in the homes they had inherited from the perpetrators. Some of the homes have magen david in the architecture and mezuzah marks on the door frames. That was TRUE ethnic cleansing, as opposed to the tall tales told by the Palestinians.

While i researched your claim i came across this

http://www.alt-arch.org/yemenites.php

And the fact that 400 Jews were killed during 1936-1939 riot (and 5000 Arabs!)
So based on the information I got, you are the one making up stuff.

But the fact stays, international law proclaimed the Israel's actions illegal. And i am sure of the members of Security Council considered all the circumstances.
Are you suggesting, there is no use of all this international organization, should we possibly let them all go and get Mr. Medad make the laws with his strong knowledge of the history?!

Golly, Galia, checking up and you might stumble over the truth.

a) Over 525 Jews were killed, all by Arabs in horrific circumstances.

b) of those 5000 or so Arabs, most, over 2500, were killed in the internecine fighting between the Husseinis and the Nashashibis. A vast majority of the rest by the British. Several hundred by Jews.

You don't provide any convincing sources of your information and they are nowhere to be found anyways. I suggest you stop spreading lies . You might be able to fool some American evangelical media with this propaganda, but it's really not relevant, they unconditionally support Israel anyways, in all its evil doing, since you are "God chosen" people.

you can do better than that Galia

Peter, you mean this "The first Arab families moved to Silwan hundreds of years before. For instance, Siam family, one of the largest families in the village, claims that it arrived in the village during the days of Salah Al-Din (the 12th century)."

Claims. Claims.
