Anti-Jewish Bigotry Alive And Well at The Guardian

It was bad enough that America, which nobly did more than anyone to save lives in Haiti, should be villified for 'occupying' the island by, of all nations, France (which is singularly responsible for bleeding its former colony dry). But the hatred for the US is only surpassed by that for the Jewish state as this op-ed by Oliver Worth, originally in the Jerusalem Post, points out.

While the Arab and Muslim states did their usual - zilch - and Europe sat on its morally superior backside, the Americans and the Israelis acted. For its humanitarian pains, Israel's actions were widely labeled a 'PR exercise' by much of the world's media. This excerpt says it all:

When sending two jumbo jets of aid and setting up a field hospital with hundreds of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel is met with scorn, you know something isn’t right.

While most of the mainstream American and British news networks reported extensively on Israel’s reaction to Haiti’s devastating earthquake, unfortunately we were also reminded just how entrenched some of the world’s hatred for the Jewish state really is.

While the fact that most of the Arab world donated mere pennies, or nothing at all, has escaped mention, Israel’s attempt to save lives was labeled by many as nothing but a PR exercise. The sad truth is that the anti-Israel hard left has done such a great job of dehumanizing Israelis, that the idea they could be doing good deeds is totally incomprehensible. It’s true — Israel’s actions in Haiti created good press, but that’s what happens when you do good things.

The assertion that Israel should somehow have to apologize for coming across positively is absurd, and grounded in anti-Semitism. As Kevin Myers writes for the Belfast Telegraph, “They are perhaps the only people in the world for whom extenuating circumstances are routinely cited in explanation of their charitable deeds.”

While it’s no surprise that the Islamist, anti-Semitic Iranian mouth-piece Press TV accuses Israeli doctors of using the Haiti emergency to harvest organs, one should not expect to read the headline “Israel’s double standards over Haiti,” in Britain’s Guardian newspaper —  except, of course, in the comparison between Israel’s efforts in Haiti and the efforts of any of Israel’s neighbors.

Unfortunately it comes as no surprise to those regularly inflicted with the Guardian’s bias that the piece is, of course, in reference to Israel’s treatment of Haitians and those with whom it is at war.

Israel’s commitment to saving lives in disaster zones has nothing to do with Gaza. Israel has shown its amazing commitment to the preservation of life in India, Indonesia, Kenya and many other nations, Gaza war or no Gaza war. There is simply no comparison between the response shown to a people at the mercy of horrific natural events, and a people who have effectively been at war with Israel since its birth.

It’s truly astonishing that part of the mainstream British press has found itself unable to differentiate between a helpless Haitian people in desperate need of aid, and the Palestinian people who elected a terrorist organization into power.

The only thing I can offer, Oliver, is that it in the UK it was in The Guardian. It is not as if it was written in a real newspaper.
