CNN’S - CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR'S SINS OF OMISSION

Written by David Grossack

by David Grossack

Over and over again at CNN they ran the same three shows God’s Holy Warriors ....
…. was a series divided into three segments purporting to educate the public about the partisans of religiously driven politics in the Middle East

Amanpour did a masterful job of defaming Judaism. Ignoring the more reasonable 99.99% of opinion among Israeli Jews, Ms. Amanpour must have searched diligently for the most absolutely crazy people she could find on a remote, insignificant faction on the far end of Israel’s nationalist right, who represent an infinitesimal segment of public opinion. Ms. Amanpour obscured the fact that virtually no Israeli Jews would ever agree with the reprehensible and evil things this tiny group had in mind She portrayed those who would willfully harm Arab children as a force that is to be reckoned with in Israel's politics.

In fact the opposite is true.

Every mainstream Israeli political grouping understands that something has to be done to placate Palestinian national aspirations and those parties that have advocated deporting or mistreating the Arab populations have been, rightly or wrongly, banned from Israel's political processes. Amanpour did not delve into this issue, as it would have made her
documentary's point weaker. She apparently wanted to injure Israel's public image.

When Ms. Amanpour did her story on the Muslim Brotherhood, she failed to present historical background that, in context, would, have explained why Israel has so much to fear from this organization which influences much of the Arab political culture, especially Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules Gaza and shells Israeli civilians every day.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded by Egyptians who became so enamored
with the Nazis that they recruited their members to act s intelligence agents and saboteurs for the Nazi general Erwin Rommel. A Palestinian section of the Muslim Brotherhood formed a storm troop legion together with Bosnian Muslims and acted as guards at the death camp of Auschwitz, where millions of Jews were imprisoned, enslaved, tortured and murdered.

Yassir Arafat was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood as was his uncle, Haj Amin El Husseini who spent World War II in Berlin preparing Arabic language propaganda for the Third Reich.

Since the Hebron massacre of 1929 when sixty eight Jews were massacred before Israel was even formed, the intention of the Arab leadership, with popular support, has been to exterminate Jews. Nothing has changed.

Amanpour ignored all of these facts, which are well known and documented by authors such as John Loftus and Charles Morse. among the Jews, Muslims and Christians.

CNN has long been biased against Israel. While criticism of the country may from time to time be justified, selective presentation of data with an evil hand is not.
