WOMEN FOR ISRAEL'S TOMORROW
(WOMEN IN GREEN)

    From time to time, CNN and BBC attempt to cover up their blatant prejudice and unbalanced reporting by having someone from Israel; however, both these TV Stations consciously choose a person from the Israeli "left" to give Israel's version; such a person, they know in advance, will in no way change Arab lies and distortions of the events of the day.

    Moreover, these stations can be counted on to couch their presentation in terms so as to give the impression that "Arab freedom fighters" are waging war against their Jewish oppressors. The word "terror" is not part of the BBC and CNN vocabulary; neither of them will ever designate Arab attacks against civilians in these terms. Their favorite ploy is to emphasize the large number of Arab deaths in proportion to the lesser number of Jewish deaths. The obvious distinction is never made that it is the Arabs who always initiate the violent attacks of mortars, gunfire, bombs and deathly stone-throwing; of course, it is always in self-defense to these murderous attacks, that disproportionate Arab deaths occur.

    CNN and BBC, moreover, promote the Arafat fiction that the Jews occupy Arab land rather than their own Jewish Biblical homeland. Over 90 percent of the Arabs migrated to Israel within the last hundred years. Joan Peters in "From Time Immemorial," makes that crucial disclosure, but that fact will never be heard on either TV station.
