- The Twelve Golden And Infallible Truths That The Media
Are Obligated To Adopt -
-
-
- 1. In the Middle East, the Arabs always attack
first and Israel always defends itself. This defense is called
'retaliation'.
-
-
- 2. Neither Arabs, Palestinians nor Lebanese have the
right to kill civilians. This is 'terrorism'.
-
-
- 3. Israel has the right to kill civilians. This is called 'legitimate
defense'.
-
-
- 4. When Israel massively kills civilians, the Western
Powers ask to her do it with courtesy or politeness. This is called
'reaction of the international community'.
-
-
- 5. Neither Palestinians neither Lebanese have the right
to capture Israeli soldiers inside military installations with sentry and
combat positions. This has to be called 'kidnapping of defenceless
civilians'.
-
-
- 6. Israel has the right to kidnap as many Palestinians
or Lebanese as they wish and at any time or place. Their present figures
are about 10,000 imprisoned, 300 of whom are children and one thousand
women. They do not need any evidence about their culpability. Israel has
the right to detain such kidnapped prisoners indefinitely, even if they
are people democratically elected by Palestinians. This is called 'imprisonment
of terrorists'.
-
-
- 7. Whenever the word 'Hizbollah' is mentioned, it is
compulsory to add in the same phrase 'supported and financed by Syria
and Iran'.
-
-
- 8. When 'Israel' is mentioned it is absolutely forbidden
to add 'supported and financed by the United States' This could
give the impression that the conflict is uneven and that Israel's existence
of is not after all at risk.
-
-
- 9. In any statement about Israel, any mention of the
following phrases is to be avoided: 'occupied territories', 'UN resolutions',
'Human Rights violations' or 'Geneva Convention'.
-
-
- 10. Palestinians, as well as Lebanese, always are 'cowards' hiding
behind a civil population that dislike them. If they sleep in military
accommodation with their families, this has a name: 'cowardice'. Israel
is entitled to annihilate with bombs and missiles such barracks where they
sleep. This is to be called a 'surgical, high-precision action'.
-
-
- 11. Israelis speak English, French, Spanish or Portuguese
better than the Arabs. That is why they deserve to be interviewed
more frequently and have better opportunities to explain to the audience
at large the above rules, from 1 to 10. This is called 'media neutrality'.
-
-
- 12. Any person in disagreement with the above rules
is to be branded a "highly dangerous anti-Semitic terrorist.
