Let’s put things in their proper historical perspective seeing as much of the MSM is trying so hard to hide the true facts of the case.

In 2001, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) admitted responsibility for killing Israeli tourism minister, Rehavam Zeevi. Israeli forces cornered those responsible in Arafat’s compound in May 2002, including PFLP leader Ahmed Saadat, and an international agreement was drawn up to see the PFLP members imprisoned. The agreement was that they would be kept in a Palestinian jail under joint British-American watch, the team of observers being protected by the Palestinian government. This instead of the men standing trial in Israel.

Several times the British and American observers made it known that if the Palestinians didnt improve their safety, they would leave. The Palestinians in both the form of the President Mahmoud Abbas and the new Hamas government responded that they would release the PFLP prisoners.

Clearly, a contract with such a government only seems to last a few years, if it ever existed at all, as the observers say the prisoners were allowed to come and go from the prison and use cell phones - clearly not a real prison. The “contract” ran its course, the Palestinians reverted to type and Israel moved in to ensure the PFLP terrorists were kept behind bars.

Where’s the story here? The real story is the systematic breach of agreements by the Palestinians and then, maybe, the Israeli move to enforce imprisonment of terrorists unilaterally rather than see such murderers walk free.

If that journalists’ triangle of news writing still exists, you wouldn’t guess so from these Leftist reports:

The AP focuses on the Israeli action, as if they would go into Jericho unarmed and naked! The AP article also misses out key information that the Palestinian government said it would release the terrorists. Instead, they leave it to an Israeli minister to make that statement on behalf of the Palestinians. Either the AP’s incompetent or biased.

The BBC is the British version of the AP. It focuses so much on the Israeli action that it doesn’t even report that the PFLP admitted responsibility for the act of terrorism in 2001. Instead it reports that a Palestinian court found no evidence linking Saadat to the murder of Reevi. Since when did the Palestinians have an independent judiciary?

CNN leaves you thinking the Israeli army injured up to 35 people in contrast to the details in AP and BBC reports that break up the number according to who and where people were injured. It also conflicts with the BBC report. The BBC boasts about the Palestinian court that “found no evidence” of Sadaat’s involvement and CNN says he’s never been before a court. Someone’s lying somewhere.

At least now Saadat will stand trial in Israel. If he’s innocent, he’s got nothing to worry about, right?

On the case of he said, she said:
What would have been real journalism is if these so-called journalists had bothered to check whether Israel’s accusation, that the Palestinian government said it would release Sadaat, was in fact true. Is it because the accusation is true that they didn’t bother to research the point, that they left the accusation on the lips of Israeli politicians rather than where it originally came from?
