Oh my: US Ambassador Power refers to Daniel Pearl as part of 'cycle of violence'
If you're an American citizen, this is your ambassador to the United Nations:
Remind me now... to which 'cycle of violence' did Daniel Pearl belong when he had his throat split by a Pakistani Muslim? When was the last time Israel attacked Pakistan?
Daniel Pearl was a Jew, and he was murdered for being a Jew. Although as one of my friends pointed out this morning, the Daniel Pearl Foundation often spits out the same kind of drivel.
There are many
comments on this tweet, and they are uniformly against Ambassador Power.
But recall, that this is the woman who wanted to send US troops to drive Israel out of Judea and Samaria. She fits right in with the Hussein Obama administration....

Israel's new Hebrew 'Palestinian' daily? UPDATE: Headline scrubbed
"3 days of mutual attacks"? Sounds like Haaretz with the good old 'cycle of violence' to me. And don't blame Yaakov Katz or Khaled Abu Toameh. They don't write the headlines - the editors do. Time to cancel our subscription.
Actually, we tried many times to cancel our JPost hard copy subscription (it's rarely read except on the Sabbath anyway). Every time, their circulation department cuts the price and begs us to stay. But this time I decided I've had it. I don't have to waste money to read Haaretz-like reporting.
JPost is apparently not the only paper in Israel that can't get the message that people don't want to read them anymore.
Haaretz has the same problem.
But this time, apparently a lot of people have had it. Mrs. Carl (in whose name the subscription is) called them and this time they didn't even argue. They said we're obligated for another two months because of our subscription term, and would we like the Wall Street Journal for the same price. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity. Aside from being a much better paper, if the Journal's terms are the same here as in the US, having a hard copy subscription gives you the right to get behind the pay wall (JPost doesn't). Let's see what we get in the morning, and then I'll try the pay wall.
Someone please let me know when Yisrael haYom has an English edition. There has to be at least one paper in this country in English that represents the views of the
vast majority of English speakers in Israel.

Well what do you know (Hat Tip:
