#1 "Imagine what would have happened if Israel had mistakenly executed a Brazilian Catholic"

LOL! Excellent question - one which whould be posed to many people.

"You begin to wonder whose side some in Britain's media are on."

Um - actually that's been obvious for a long time now, and it's not just the British media which is split between the idiotarians and the rest.

"...the cover story of this week's New Statesman, the favored publication of many in Britain's ruling Labour party, says: "There were no suicide bombers in Palestine until Ariel Sharon, an accredited war criminal, sponsored by Bush and Blair, came to power."

It's cover also featured a rucksack with the line "Blair's Bombs" - but the jpost choses not to mention that. The New Statesman is a screaming fruitcake of a magazine, not even friendly towards Blair's Labour any more.

#2 Im content that (some)lefty brits are talking sense in regard to terror in Britain. Id love it if they talked the same sense wrt to terror in Israel, but a journey of a thousand miles and all that. And this is NOT the time to say anything that implies "see how it feels".

Jpost is generally a good paper, but theyve got some columnists a tad far gone on the right (as Haaretz has some a tad far gone on the left)

#3 Bulldog, I clicked on the link and was confronted by a John Pilger article. Next time I demand fair warning. :-)

Sorta like pancaking an American?
Both ignored warnings. Two Darwin award nominees for failure to adjust behavior to a changing environment.

#5 What did you expect---that they'll judge themselves the way they judge others?

#6 You begin to wonder whose side some in Britain's media are on.

Not on my side, I can tell you that!
