Being anti-zionist has become acceptable code for being anti-semitic. I don’t understand why the world continues to accept anti-semitism when so many other forms of prejudice are now (rightly) considered unacceptable.

Jennifer on March 26, 2010 at 11:58 am

Saw this….
The report mentioned how afraid the children are of planes – but never really explained the ‘violence’ that resulted in her being shot in the leg. Pure propaganda.
Side note: Amazingly hairy legs for a young girl.

Steve on March 26, 2010 at 12:05 pm

Debbie, I just don’t see Fox News slipping in favor of Hamas or Muslims in general. Fox News is the only news outlet to acknowledge major Christian and Jewish religious holidays during their station break announcements. Perhaps a local station in Detroit favors or is partial to Muslims but then look at the local population.

O: Those greetings are meaningless. I care about news coverage. And that, indeed, IS slipping. FOX News runs my local FOX News outlet. Please don’t be sated by useless holiday greetings. They are irrelevant and have nothing to do with the price of tea in China. DS

Robin Shepherd’s “A State Beyond the Pale” describes the pathology of hostility toward Israel in the European context but goes on to show how that hostility has begun to seep into the American scene. Well worth the read if you can find it. Shepherd, a European scholar, was pressured to leave Chatham House for the temerity of writing an article positve towards Israel.

Over Passover week, we’ll see the media go into overdrive about the evils of Jews building in “east” Jerusalem. The world is against red-lining but applying apartheid to the Jews in Jerusalem is kosher. The one place they mustn’t be permitted to build in and live in freely is their own capital.

No – I’m not asking Fox News or the rest of the media to be “pro-Israel.” How about just be even-handed instead of regurgitating anti-Israel propaganda as if it was proven fact. One thing hasn’t changed in this new century. The world’s hatred of the Jews.

NormanF on March 26, 2010 at 1:08 pm

I’m surprised they didn’t bring back Fanchon Al-Stinker for a cameo to do this propoganda piece.

BC on March 26, 2010 at 1:23 pm

Oscar… or with Israel’s leader being treated like Ahmedinejad – of whom Obama is so solicitous and understanding. Oops – but he isn’t!

Engagement and treating other countries with deference and mutual respect as you might have guessed, does not apply to the world’s only Jewish State.

THAT needs to be contained – NOT Iran!

NormanF on March 26, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Nice reporting DS

buckjohnson on March 26, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Also please stay on this story

buckjohnson on March 26, 2010 at 2:14 pm

This may be the most ignorant, reactionary thing I’ve ever read. First, the story isn’t about who shot her, it’s about how the U.S (the greatest country in the world) was kind enough to treat this girl. She wasn’t treated by Hamas here, she was treated by Americans. I dare you to provide proof that any of the medical professionals who cared for her are terrorists.
Secondly, I know a great many people who work at Fox 2. I encourage you to pay more attention to who’s reading the news. They have more people of the Jewish Faith on air than any of the other stations COMBINED. Murray Feldman, Sherry Margolis, Rich Luterman, and Robin Schwartz to name a few. Do you really think they’re engaged in anti-Israeli propaganda? Really?
I know you have an agenda, Debbie, but please, try to weave some facts into your posts in the future.

CE: What does the number of Jewish reporters (most of whom are lefties) have to do with the price of tea in China? I don’t care how many Jewish reporters work there. That doesn’t give the station the right to run this anti-Israel BS disguised as a “health report.” And some of the “Jewish reporters” there–like Robin Schwartz have their noses up the butt of the Islamic community–so their religion makes no difference. Robin Schwartz writes for the pan-Islamic Jewish News and did a report praising pro-terrorist, Muslim-dominated ACCESS–an Arab welfare agency. She’s a piece of crap. And a fraud. Not to mention, a horrid reporter. Rich Luterman is a weatherman. And, yet, unlike Centofanti, he doesn’t weave Middle Eastern propaganda into the reports of snow and rain. Terrorism is everyone’s issue, not just the Jews. Sadly, you don’t see that. Scary. The story was anti-Israel. BTW, say hi to my friends at FOX 2, since clearly you are an employee there and your comments are CYA. Everything I wrote was a fact. Everything you wrote is irrelevant and of red herring status. DS

Charles Evensgood on March 26, 2010 at 2:44 pm

SLIP OF THE PEN?

“That’s the difference between these two countries,…” — D.S.

The Paleos are not a “COUNTRY.” They are not even a distinct “PEOPLE,” except in their being even wilder and more violent than most other Arabs.

The problem is that when we allow even the most long standing (and most fundamental) of their lies to slip into our vocabulary, we open the door to yet more of them. That’s how this all started to begin with. And we aren’t even aware of it anymore, to the extent that we can call them “palestinians” without the quotes.

They are NOT a “country” and never were, and they are not a distinct “people.” And so it would have been more correct to say, “That is the difference between Israel and the savages who call themselves ‘palestinians’.” (feel free to capitalize “Palestinians,” if you must)

Y: OOPS. You are correct. Fixed. DS

yonason on March 26, 2010 at 2:48 pm

Well, Rupert Murdoch has always been about money first. He only patronizes conservatives, Christians and Jews because he wants their money. Murdoch has long held tons of business interests that would make his socially conservative customers appalled. Murdoch is simultaneously one of the world’s largest religious publishers AND one of the world’s largest proliferators of pornography and smut. That conservatives see Rupert Murdoch and NewsCorp as on their side instead of being just another businessman with an angle is amazing. Murdoch personally spoke up for Obama during the 2008 presidential election, and issued an order to the Fox News employees not to be too hard on him or to dig up any really damaging dirt on him. Even the Jeremiah Wright thing didn’t blow up until after Super Tuesday, when Obama already had the nomination wrapped up, and nothing really damaging came out (at least not from Fox) during the McCain-Obama noncampaign. As to why Murdoch ran interference for Obama and helped save his campaign? As they say, follow the money Debbie!

Of course, while you are at it, you would also have to follow the longtime and extensive financial ties between the Saudis and the Bush family as well.

Gerald on March 26, 2010 at 2:53 pm

I sincerely appreciate that you’re like a pitbull on a bone when it comes to hypocrisy, double standards and bullshit, Debbie.

I’d thought I was the only one detecting Fox News’ drift towards anti-Semite reporting. Then you went hammer and tong after the facts and it’s good to know I was right. Fox is ANYTHING but Conservative and pro-Constitutional America, the Republic.

“I will bless them that bless thee … “

jack mackenzie on March 26, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Are you people not paying attention? Many of the staff members at Fox 2 are JEWISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or are you just choosing to ignore that? Come on. If you have a problem with Fox 2, maybe you should call the general manager, Jeff MURRI … yes, that’s right, MURRI.

CE: What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? I don’t care how many Jewish reporters work there.

Charles Evensgood on March 26, 2010 at 3:29 pm

I’m curious about something. When they came to America for the operation, did they request that no Jews were to operate on her or handle her in any way? I noticed the name of the doctor was Jiab Suleiman, which sounds pretty arabian to me.

Jarhead on March 26, 2010 at 3:42 pm

A great article. Everyone needs to see this..Also in strong agreement about your comment on the holiday greetings. Talk is cheap, holiday greetings are even cheaper.

Oscar on March 26, 2010 at 12:44 pm”

Oscar you must really be that empty headed to be a part of the New World Order, which some people who appear on FNC are, like Rupert Murdoch, Prince Bin Talaal, they even have someone who is a part of the Council on Foreign Relations. That’s the group that doesn’t believe in borders. And Oscar it’s NO CONSPIRACY THEORY, IT’S A CONSPIRACY MEANT TO DESTROY AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY! READ IT FOR YOURSELF!

And WJBK, which is the Detroit Fox station has been Fox-owned since 1995 when Fox bought stations owned by New World/Gillett/Storer Communications, which WJBK at some times in their history was. And WJBK was a CBS station prior to becoming a part of the Bin Talaal News Network.

For the record NYC has a MAJOR PLAYER in this in WNYW 5, the flagship of Fox after some 30 years as a Metromedia-owned independent (WNEW-TV) and years before that a DuMont station WABD named for TV pioneer Allen B DuMont.

Bob Porrazzo on March 26, 2010 at 3:47 pm

Charles Evensgood, In most instances the reporters on screen aren’t the ones writing the news. The station’s on-air talent are reading something that was handed to them or posted on a teleprompter.

Anti-Israel propaganda is an art form and there are many different ways to promote the opposing point of view. They sometimes attack it head-on with blatant lies hoping some of it sticks. They also attack it with stories like this. And as Yonason points out, any reference to Palestine by a “reputable” news outlet could be considered misleading and meant to dictate public opinion.

Most of the stories have one thing in common, presupposition of false claims or overall negativity. For example, “Do you think the Israeli’s feel guilt when treating the Palestinians that way?” It assumes guilt, not objectivity.

Joe Schmo on March 26, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Israel should remove all Muslims from her borders(as defined by Israel) and take in Christians from Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and even Egypt. They would appreciate the fine medical care. Leave all the neighbors to their own devises, reclaiming only Bethlehem. There would still be some conflict, but not much. This needs to happen before Mr. Obama castrates Israel in the next several months….

EDS on March 26, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Chris – thanks for enlightening me. Now how about a little enlightenment for you. There seems to be a common thread between a lot of what Debbie writes about and the muslim threat to the world. As you should know, these arabs and muslims have vowed to wipe Israel off the map. God forbid this succeeds. Then who do think the muslims will go after, Chris? Christians, followed by all other people of faith that are not muslims.

Jarhead on March 27, 2010 at 10:59 am

Careful, your pro muslim bias is showing. What difference does it make how she was injured if the report is about coming to this country to receive treatment. You also haven’t extensively studied anything regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. It’s been going on for a lot longer than 90 years. Muslims have been committing atrocities against Jews and Christians in that region for a thousand years or more. You need to read Joan Peter’s book ‘From Time Immemorial’ if you want to know the truth of what’s been going on over there. But you won’t because it would challenge your anti-Israel point of view. As regards the article, scroll down to the bottom of the report and you’ll find 3 comments posted. All with an obvious pro-muslim slant.

gerob on March 27, 2010 at 11:52 am

This news story/propaganda is part of their jihad to trick Americans into sympathizing with the Muslim barbarians and into disliking the civilized Israelis.

Reminds me of a sob story in the Virginia Tech newspaper about a “Palestinian” astrophysicist (probably yet another terrorist studying at Virginia Tech and working for NASA), claiming that his son was killed by an Israeli bombing in Gaza: http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/12891/post-doc-mourns-son-lost-in-gaza-fighting

Reporters never ask for the Muslim to provide proof of the bombing or ask if they and their relatives were targeted because they were terrorists. We are just supposed to automatically sympathize with the Muslim.

JM on March 27, 2010 at 12:01 pm

I don’t watch much local “news”–every 3 minutes you get 3 minutes of advertising. I think the ad quota is close to 50% of the air time. Sick of that.

Fox 2 is the same station cess pool that spawned Fanchon Stinger, and excused her whoring around with Rayford Jackson, and let FaraCON do his shtick on the station in a suck up interview.

Yet, I always liked Deena, for some reason, I liked her as the nice girl next door–cute, friendly and just trying to do right it seemed. We all know these “news” reporters are just news readers and essentially talking head props, so not a lot to judge on but mostly impressions.

Well Deena, I like you NO MORE–you had to know that you were being used a propaganda tool in this spot–I have zero tolerance for that. If you didn’t realize that, you need to get a clue about who these people, the Elders, actually are.

BB on March 27, 2010 at 1:19 pm

Glad I don’t subscribe to the Fox cable “news” here in Canada. (btw that propaganda piece looked just like what was constantly being broadcast since the year 2000 by our very own little “Pravda”, and taxpayer supported and government run television station called the CBC…Some of the propaganda reports supporting terrorist suicide bombers were utterly beyond belief.)

J.S. on March 28, 2010 at 11:11 am

What’s with “the price of tea in China”? Three times inone day.

Why is it that these reporter’s religion makes no difference in this story but it makes all the difference in other stories? If they were Muslim, hell if they were Buddhist it would a key point. Why not here?

Also, I don’t trust FOX news as far as I can throw Sean Hannity, but this is a fluff piece. There is no subtext, no underlining theme,(maybe war is bad or it’s tough in the middle east and we’re great), but at the end it’s just a little filler. For an argument that FOX is anti-Israel this ain’t it.

I wish u could find an arabic with a huge cock to make u forget all the money that the jewish pay to u to attack arabs and muslims every where and if u like u have my eamil and u can try mine. good luck.

jewjob911 on August 31, 2010 at 2:47 am

Hi Debbie,

I talked to you once before about how Samer Ambushed me in Yemen then moved to the United States. And although I reported the crime the USA refused to protect me and marginalized me because they are trying to say I belong to the Al Ahmar family because I worked for Deloite and Touche Which consulted for SabaFon which Shiekh Hameed Al Ahmar is chair of.

The FBI and ICE know of this incident but I guess they think it is acceptable for Arabs to attack and kill Americans and I sometimes wonder whom put this guy up to it since there are so many Arabs who hate Americans working in the DOD like the Egyptian guy who was working for CIA who ruined my life career and reputation.

So anyways I told Samer he owes me for personal injury loss and he filed a PPO against me which violates my 2nd amendment rights. A most likely “hired terrorist thug” used the US court system to disarm the American citizen he victimized. And when I went to tell my case I got Judge Charlene Elder.

Samer was complaining I called him a Palistinian Terrorist but then he should of considered that before he agreed to kill and ambush westerners. Yet it seemed that my crime of complaining is worst then his battery, and I am being punished.

Since I spent many times around Arabs in my life I would say the way she dresses was sort of like Shitte and her guard looked like Lebanese Hisbollah guy.

Even though I don’t expect justice for this injury any time soon I will still fight for the right path and justice because I know the USA is filled with bad people and liars and it is very dangerous country especially since the war since they are funding certain types of really dangerous groups.

It is a shame that the judge would be bias to subject me to a situation which is harmful and dangerous to my future at the request at the man whom could of killed me before if I had not come back to consciousness. Maybe she needs to pray for God to show her the right path, because being in a gang on the side of the wrong , and injustice, just to protect people whom she might relate to if she is involved in Terror organizations is not okay.

I am appealing her decission…. And I am going to sue the state for violating my rights. I am afraid the government is marginalizing me and i have a bill of attainder issue. if that is the case they have stripped me of my rights as a citizen and i have been advised to leave the country because they are punishing me and continously making my life difficult for what reason I don’t know or what benefit they get??? It is probably just to cover there mistakes and abuse.

Heidi Peterson on November 12, 2010 at 5:29 pm

These Arabs are masteres of sneaky infiltration everywhere. Even a Jew Like Murdoch was fooled by them. The Goal of the Saudi is to become the America of the Middle East. They want to rule the world and to use America as their tool for that. They sought the demise of Saddam Hussein and pushe America to do it for them. Now they have to face Ahmadi Nigad. They want to overthrow Bashar El_Asad. America is following their lead. This would be wrong. You read Arabic very well mam. I will e-mail you an article written by a Kuweity journalist commenting on the election in Egypt. He is worried that if the Moslem Brother hoods win it it will be a calamity for all the Islamic countries. We all know who is financing the Hoods; the Saudis of course
