I continue with the subject of the wishful press, or when commentators write what they wish would happen, not about what actually happened, and perhaps the Israeli press provides daily proof for this practice. It was thus claimed that Hamas or even Hezbollah fired the rockets on Eilat and Aqaba, because this would be quite convenient for Israel, and it was also claimed that it is Hezbollah that is behind the confrontation with the Lebanese army. Every day, the Israeli newspapers run stories and commentaries of this kind. In the recent days alone I read the following: - ‘A Mysterious epidemic paralyzes the Syrian army'. This news story was published by an extremist website which failed to cite its source, and did not even mention the name of the alleged epidemic, which apparently only kills Syrian soldiers. - ‘Israel to the United States: Reconsider aid to the Lebanese army'. This is being requested by the country that steals American taxpayers' money and receives billions of dollars in annual military aid that it uses in prolonging the occupation and in murdering women and children. This is not to mention that Hezbollah opposes U.S military aid to Lebanon in the first place, and it seems that the author of the article, who is a prominent Israeli journalist, missed this point. - ‘Israel and the Arab world: He is a-f-r-a-i-d' (meaning Nasrallah). The last word was deliberately written in this manner to stress Nasrallah's fear, which means that it is Israel that is afraid of him instead, as Hezbollah's rockets cannot be stopped given their short flight distance. The article's writer, a well-known expert woman journalist, wrote about an alliance between the Syrian President, the Lebanese Prime Minister, and Turkey and Saudi Arabia aiming to take away the ‘matchstick' from Nasrallah's fingers. But this must have come to her as a revelation from above, because I met with all the officials mentioned in the article, and there definitely is no new alliance there, but only what we know in terms of the ongoing Syrian-Iranian alliance that supports Hezbollah against Israeli occupation. - ‘Mubarak: hold the direct negotiations in Egypt.' The report says that Egypt's reason for supporting the direct negotiations is to hold them in Egypt. All I say here is that all similar negotiations were previously held in Egypt, and that the Palestinian National Authority will not accept to hold them anywhere else, since the coordination between the two sides is old and ongoing. I can personally provide another reason for Egypt's support for direct negotiations, which is that it realizes they will fail, and hence, there is no harm in holding them. Also, holding such negotiations denies the impostor Netanyahu the chance to claim – should they not be held – that he would have agreed to a Palestinian state even bigger than the one demanded by the Palestinians themselves. - ‘An enemy destroying itself. Iran is falling apart'. The article's author is Guy Bechor, an extremist who drinks too much of the Israeli intelligence's Kool-Aid. This time, he even outdid himself. If Iran was on the road to perdition, as he claims, then why does Israel not wait for Iran to get there, instead of threatening to strike its nuclear facilities? Most likely, the reason behind the references in the article to the fact that the legitimacy Khomeini's revolution is over is the international campaign to delegitimize Israel, because of its Nazi-like crimes against the Palestinians. While I have many recorded objections to the performance of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government, I do not deny that Iran is an enduring country that is thousands of years old. As for Israel, it is a ‘transit' state of thieves – to borrow from Mahmoud Darwish's words. There are others who compete with the Israeli press when it comes to wishful journalism, especially the Likudnik American media and websites which I consider to be a part of the Israeli press. For example, these wrote: - ‘Putin's War on Israel.' I will overlook the writer's talk of ‘Palestinian terrorists' here, since they are national liberation heroes against Israeli Nazis, to just note that her objection was to Russia delivering 50 unarmed armored vehicles to the Palestinian Authority, compared to the WMDs that Israel possess. Someone who writes such opinions must be a dogmatic Likudnik similar to the Nazis, when claiming that armored vehicles can be used in in an attack and run over things in front of them, when what I know instead is that an Israeli bulldozer ran over the peace activist Rachel Corrie and killed her. - ‘The truth about the Flotilla' (the Freedom Flotilla), which is indeed a ‘truth', and the issue is video footage from the Israeli army, i.e. from the Nazi killers. - ‘Why WikiLeaks will fail', and many other subjects about the website that leaked classified correspondence about the war in Afghanistan. The Israel gang hopes that the website will fail because the gang supported the wars of the Bush administration in the Middle East, and does not want anyone to oppose the death of American's prime in wars for oil and Israel. This is the wishful press which if anything, proves what we already know about the murderous policy pursued by the advocates of Israel, the enemies of Arabs and Muslims. [email protected]
