No Tears Over Arabist, Anti-Israel Encyclopedia Brittanica
You’ll see no tears from me over the end of the published hard copy version of Encyclopedia Brittanica. My only regret is that the anti-Israel, pan-Arabist screed pretending to be an objective, impartial encyclopedia is still published online. Fortunately, the Brittanica folks were late to the game online and will never catch up to take a top spot–or even a top 100th spot–in google searches on much of anything, except the term “Encyclopedia Brittanica.”
In its revisionist rendition of Israeli history, from the founding of the Jewish State through every war, Brittanica repeatedly portrayed Israel as the aggressor, including the 1967 Six Day War, which is well known to be the result of aggression by each of Israel’s neighbors, whom Israel asked not to go to war against it. But they chose to anyway, joining Egypt’s Nasser in his military salvos. Israel merely responded. Winning over enemies who come to kill you ain’t aggression. But it is, according to Brittanica.
Words common to the lingua franca of the Muslims, and Palestinians in particular, are rife throughout Brittanica. Loaded, biased phrases such as “Israeli occupation” are commonly used in the so-called encyclopedia. And it’s no coincidence that Brittanica is frequently cited by anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sites all over the net. The fraud in the supposed “encyclopedia” serves as confirmation for the anti-Israel narrative. At one point, Brittanica even called the United States a “potential ally of Israel” to describe the United States at the time of Israel’s founding and afterward. The United States has always been an ally of Israel, from the time of its founding (which the U.S. helped shepherd) and thereafter.
It’s no coincidence that Brittanica’s emblem includes a thistle. It looks nice on the outside, but it’ll prick ya if you come into contact.
Unfortunately, the online “replacements” for Brittanica, including and especially Wikipedia, aren’t better. They’re worse. Wikipedia is notoriously left-wing and anti-Israel and ruled by the mob of Arabs and Muslims and their co-propagandists.
Still, you won’t see me crying over the death of the massive tomes of Brittanica. Things are much better with the Net, as we can finally get the real information on Israel out there. And we don’t need door-to-door salesmen to do it.
Debbie, to be honest with you I didn’t know that Encyclopedia Brittanica was virulent anti-Israel with a hidden agenda, I always suspected that Wikipedia was a left-leaning website, but I didn’t know it leaned too far to the left wing, and I also didn’t know that that website (Wikipedia) was controlled by muslim propagandist and arab propagandist either.
Speaking of which, yesterday I was reading an article and this article in which it says that “Israel is the number one enemy to Egypt”. I’ve read most of the comments on that site and nothing neo-nazi muslims, neo-nazi dhmmi’s, etc., the comment section was filled with Adolf Hitler’s lineages.
