MEMRI and Anti-Semitism in the Arab Press
What is rather hilarious about the bogus MEMRI's sensitivity to anti-Semitism (which is not unlike the bogus sensitivity to anti-Semitism in the history of the Zionist movement which never had qualms in aligning itself with anti-Semites) is that it only focuses on manifestation of anti-Semitism in the press of governments and groups that are opposed to Israel. MEMRI ignores manifestation of anti-Semitism in the pro-US press for example. Take this anti-Semitic article by this columnist in An-Nahar (the right-wing, sectarian Christian, racist anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people) newspaper), Rajih Al-Khuri. It will not appear in a special bulletin by MEMRI because An-Nahar is aligned with the Bushama Doctrine. (thanks Raed)
