Slob for the Israel Lobby

by Jeffrey Blankfort on October 17, 2009

Here’s another example of the sly deceptions that distinguish much of the Israeli and Jewish Press. UN Watch is a subsidiary of the American Jewish Committee and this is certainly not a secret to the Jerusalem Post. To describe it as "independent" is patently dishonest. From JPost:

"Prior to the vote, Col. Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, addressed the UN session, and said that based on his knowledge and experience, during Operation Cast Lead the IDF "did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare."

"Speaking on behalf of UN Watch, an independent Geneva human rights group, Kemp added that "Israel did so while facing an enemy that deliberately positioned its military capability behind the human shield of the civilian population."
