Weekly EoZ roundup

Things continued to be crazy this week at Chez Elder. Early this week was the biggest day ever for the blog, we celebrated our 20,000th post, and next week is an even bigger blog milestone.

Out of my top ten all-time posts, five have been written during this war and two of them were written this week.

One was my Pallywood expose of an (apparently) dead girl's body being used for photo-ops for journalists who knowingly went along with the scam. 25,000 people read that one.

The second was the story about the Malaysian couple who decided to have a "hate Israel" theme for their wedding.  Over 18,000 hits for that one. For a day or two, I ticked off the entire nation of Malaysia, as many angry citizens came here to spout their anger at Israel and support of the couple.

Other notable posts this week:

• UNRWA school déjà vu - again, the media uncritically reports lies
• Islamic Jihad brags that dead Gaza babies are winning the media war for them
• Israel is not violating international law in Gaza - part 1: Principle of Distinction ( need to find time for part 2)
• J-Street endorses candidates who voted against Iron Dome funding
• Don't mess with the Diamond District (video)

(I met the young woman who filmed this, Danielle Avel, at the anti-CNN rally, she's really great. She caught wind of the anti-Israel rally beforehand and she told me that they were deliberately targeting Jewish-owned businesses in New York for their "direct action.")

• Belgium's poet laureate publishes another antisemitic poem My own poem about him drew critical raves!
• Hamas shot Fatah members in the legs - to be human shields
• Chris Gunness lies again - UNRWA schools are anything but liberal
• Jimmy Carter's support for Hamas terror continues
• Dead Gaza children win again, at the NYT
• John Dugard accidentally proves that Gaza isn't occupied
• 450 news correspondents in Gaza, but very few journalists
• Amnesty can't find any evidence of Hamas using hospitals and ambulances???
• Video of NYC rally against media bias, with interviews
• Media pretends to wake up on Gaza coverage...too little, too late

I think I have enough for another e-book! Maybe when this operation is really over I'll see if I can organize these.

Meanwhile, I have to work on my presentation for my upcoming talk...

Shabbat Shalom!
