UK RECLASSIFYING PRO-ISRAEL WEBSITES AS "HATE SITES" - The UK continues its long tradition of anti-Semitism now bolstered by its ever growing anti-Semitic migrant population

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is common knowledge that sites such as Twitter and Facebook have a blatant double standard:  they censor anti-Palestinian comments while they give a wide platform to anti-Israel and anti-Jewish ones.
 
Some time ago an Israeli NGO conducted THE FACEBOOK EXPERIMENT.  It opened two new separate pages on Facebook, one anti-Israel and the other anti-Palestinian.  They used exactly the same hateful language, except that they referred to either Jews or Arabs.  Facebook rushed to censor the anti-Palestinian site, while they let the anti-Israeli one stand because it did not violate community standards.   The Facebook Experiment is exposed on this VIDEO:

The same double standard exists on mainstream media, particularly on the BBC, CNN, and other similar news websites.  Typically they headline the death of Palestinians, and only as an afterthought - if at all - the fact that they were killed in the act of slaughtering Jews.  Here is a recent example: 


 
 
BBC DENOUNCED:  Former BBC chairman Lord Michael Grade exposes BBC’s coverage of Israel, and anti-Israel terror as ‘inexcusable’, saying, “When Israel acts in self-defense, the narrative is distorted to fit their (the media) narrative of Zionist aggression.”  Read more:

TERRORISTS WELCOME - Britain has allowed in, and even given legal residency and citizenship to tens of thousands of jihadis who incite against Jews and against Britons themselves.  However the British government bars entry to foreign moderate commentators who criticize Islamic terror.  One of them  is well-known radio host Michael Savage.  Also banned from British soil are US anti-Sharia activist Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. 
 
 
PM Theresa May and previous governments have also condemned Muslim terror at home, but they donate millions to the Palestinian Authority, which uses that money to pay salaries to convicted murderers of Jewish men, women and children.  If killed during their acts of terror, the terrorists' families receive generous salaries.  Killing Jews, according to Theresa May and other donors such as the United States and EU countries, is not regarded as terror but as resistance.

The following article was posted by Edgar Davidson on his BLOG on July 5, 2017 -  The website he refers to below,  THIS ONGOING WAR, focuses on acts of terror in Israel, and uses moderate language.  Visit this site and see for yourself.  So, why would reporting on Palestinian terror be considered hate?  Britain and others seem to think so.

CNN CAUGHT STAGING FAKE NEWS - Watch CNN reporter choreographing fake Muslim demonstration against terror - PALLYWOOD, or the Palestinian fake video industry, is adopted by CNN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


In Israel it's called Pallywood.  Palestinians - often in cahoots with the media - stage scenes of completely fake incidents of Arab victimhood.  Further down this page watch video with compilation of some of obviously fake incidents.    Just as Palestinian terror against civilians has been exported from Israel to the rest of the world, so is Pallywood .   

You may have noticed that after every terror attack there is hardly ever a spontaneous, sincere condemnation of terror by Muslims living in the West.  Other than lip service by Imams for media consumption, their main concern seems to be the negative perception of Islam by the public - or what they call Islamophobia.  Not a word of compassion for the victims of terror.

Well, CNN decided to fix that by staging a fake demonstration of Muslims against Islamic terror.    Watch  how a CNN reporter and her crew arranges a small group of what we assume to be Muslims in a fake demonstration against terror in the wake of one of the latest massacres in Britain.  See how they are handed signs as they are positioned in front of the cameras.

AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF ISRAEL - The reality of every day life, and how it is perceived abroad

Unauthorized duplication of this blog's material is prohibited.   Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full credit and link is given to Otters and Science News Blogspot.  Link to this post:  http://ottersandsciencenews.blogspot.ca/2017/02/an-american-journalists-personal.html - Thank you for visiting my blog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • The Israeli-Muslim conflict is too complex to explain in a single article. But a personal account can illustrate how it is perceived by both sides right there, in the land of Israel.
  • The following column was written by an American liberal and very pro-Palestinian journalist who one day took the trouble to experience life in Israel and see the situation from the Jewish point of view.  
  • He tells how Palestinians have been indoctrinated with a narrative of hate and intolerance that results in relentless terror
  • As you read it, please keep in mind that the Jewish elite that controls the government - some of it often disguised as 'hawkish' or 'right wing' - has in fact been empowering the Palestinians by stealth, allowing them to build facts on the ground - both physically and ideologically.   Examples abound.  Here are two:
  • (1)  While the media and human rights organizations condemn Jewish settlements, the fact is that Arabs build illegally and massively on both sides of the Green Line and with complete impunity. 
  • The government routinely turns a blind eye to it, and very often ends up providing utilities, schools, and other facilities to the illegal towns and villages along with full legitimacy - particularly in cases of Bedouin illegal land takeover.  (Bedouin are nomads from the Saudi peninsula who arrived in the land of Israel after the Muslim invasion and occupation of the land.)  
  • (2)  Palestinian textbooks and TV children programs have been spouting virulent anti-Semitic propaganda for decades, thus creating entire generations of Jew-hating Palestinians. 
  • The Israeli government has done NOTHING about the textbooks used both in Palestinian and Arab Israeli classrooms, and even provides radio and TV frequencies to the Palestinians, who use them to indoctrinate Arab children with genocidal Jew hatred. 
  • Even more disturbing, the Israeli government has NEVER upheld recognized international law that demonstrates the legitimacy of Israeli right to the historical Jewish ancestral land - today referred to as "occupied territory".  
  • This silence is proof of their complicity with the Palestinians goal of partitioning the country as a first stage of a process that will inevitably lead to the end of Israel.     
  • Does it all sound too hard to believe?  There is a method to the madness.  The Israeli elite's ultimate goal is to facilitate the partition of Israel for the creation of another Arab terror state, while denuding what would be left of Israel of its Jewish tradition and heritage, and its transformation into an Arab-dominated country.  A more likely alternative is that a campaign of terror launched from a sovereign Palestine allied with Iran would lead to another Holocaust.
  • THE JEWISH-ARAB CONFLICT 4 BASIC FACTSThis is the Jewish left's vision, which has increasingly permeated all major centers of power in Israel, such as the media, universities, the courts, and the government itself. 
  • Just as American centrist Republicans too often find common ground with Democrats, the Fake Right Wing in Israel secretly shares goals with the most leftist and pro-Palestinian sectors of the Israeli political landscape.  They are hawkish in name only.
  • Actually the American political landscape right now reflects some of that leftist mindset, with its contempt for the national flag, calls for open borders, hatred of American traditional institutions, Christianity, and white people, and calls for the weakening of the Constitution and the country.   
  • Israeli politicians can't just hand over the country to the Arabs because there would elicit a Jewish revolt.  But they can do it by stealth, one step at the time. 
  • The map to the right shows the Jewish kingdoms of Israel and Judah.  The area today is referred to as Judea and Samaria.  Those who want to avoid the link to Israel's ancient past call it the West Bank.
  • The Jewish legal right to Israel goes back thousands of years.  Muslims from the Saudi peninsula invaded Israel during the Middle Ages, and now they call Jews the occupiers.  The red line on the map indicates Israel after the 1967  war.  Ever since Israel has shrunk after surrendering the Sinai peninsula to Egypt and Gaza to the Palestinians - both territories now in the hands of jihadists. 
  • Netanyahu can't blame Obama for his own anti-Jewish policies anymore.  Not with Trump, the most pro-Israel US president in history.   
  • Trump would not interfere if Israel annexed Judea and Samaria and empowered Jewish heritage. 
  • However, the Netanyahu administration told Trump NOT to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, to discourage Jewish expansion of settlements, and to continue to show support for Two States - all of them key parts of Netanyahu's pro-Palestinian agenda. 
  • The first few weeks of the Trump administration have exposed the Israeli government's DUPLICITY. 
  • PM Netanyahu's eloquent right wing speeches have allowed him and his Likud party to cling to power, while his actions consistently reveal his pro-Palestinian agenda.  His calls for 'security' along the border with the Palestinian state are a fig leaf to sell this suicidal plan to the Israeli people.
An American Journalist Personal Experience in Israel

Hunter Stuart was a self-described Protestant liberal with the “pantheon of beliefs”:   You support pluralism, tolerance and diversity. You support gay rights, access to abortion and gun control.
 
He was also pro-Palestinian, with the belief that Israel was the big bully:  Most progressives in the US view Israel as an aggressor, oppressing the poor noble Arabs who are being so brutally denied their freedom
 
Most troubling was that even when he became eyewitness to Palestinian bloodlust and brutality against Israel, he felt little sympathy for the Israeli victims. In fact, he felt hostility, and as leftists tend to do, he blamed Israel for being victimized by stabbings and suicide attacks. 
 
Stuart finally snapped out of his trance, but that was only when it became personal. Until then, he believed Israeli citizens deserved everything they got, no matter how sickening; much like  Europe and the West, where nothing it gets is sickening enough because they “deserve it.”

The propagandist, victimhood narrative has stuck on like crazy glue, and it’s rooted in guilt, namely the past sins of colonialism. Stuart says of Western liberal that “they see it as a white, first world people beating on a poor, third world one.”
 
Eventually, Stuart came to realize that lying jihadists are governing the Palestinian territories, that the Arab states surrounding Israel have been seeking its obliteration since the Jewish state was born in 1948, and that maneuvers by Israel — deemed to be bullying, apartheid-driven and murderous — are actually defensive. Israel is the bullied, not the bully.

JOURNALISM MALPRACTICE - How the media deliberately distorts headlines to turn Muslim terrorists into victims

Israelis have been complaining about distorted media headlines for years, to no avail.  Whenever a Palestinian is shot while attacking Jews, the mainstream media headlines invariably go something like this:  Palestinians shot by Israelis.  Only further down in the report you realize that they were shot as police tried to stop them from slaughtering Jews.

So, if the media can get away with ongoing anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian headlines, then why not apply the same 'journalistic' method to other countries victims of Muslim terror?  Here is the latest example - via Bare Naked Islam

IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL - OBAMA ADVISER BEN RHODES ADMITS THE WHITE HOUSE SOLD THE AMERICAN PUBLIC A PACK OF LIES - He also admits the US media acts as an "echo chamber" for the White House narrative

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Obama adviser admits public was 'misled'
 on Iran nuclear talks., and that the media acted as an echo chamber for the president

US policy on Israel is generally mired in invented narratives.  The hidden agenda behind the White House apparent pro-Israel rhetoric (for domestic consumption), is the eventual dismantlement of the Jewish state.  The way politicians, activists, and the lapdog media present the issue is full of fiction which - after being repeated for decades - has taken on the semblance of 'truth'.  

Empowering Iran - one of the White House's top priorities - serves those nefarious purposes, as Iranian leaders and their mobs openly say that they are determined to wipe Israel off the map - by means of a nuclear Holocaust if necessary.

 
The White House and Iran vilified
Israeli PM Netanyahu for his criticism of the deal. 
 
  • Ben Rhodes
    Ben Rhodes
    Ben Rhodes, one of President Barack Obama's top advisers, has admitted that the administration lied about the dealings behind the nuclear agreement struck between Iran and world powers last summer.
  • Regarding the media's support for the deal, Rhodes admitted in the interview that “We created an echo chamber.”
  • Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said he believed at the time that Obama would not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.  Asked whether he would make that assessment now, Panetta answered, “Probably not.”
  • Rhodes dismisses all White House officials prior to Obama as "the Blob" - a bunch of unqualified and uneducated individuals who damaged the United States.  But then came Obama, the hero, to save the country.
  • Rhodes admits that while the American public was led to believe that negotiations between the West and the Islamic Republic took off after the election of President Hassan Rouhani, misrepresented as a “moderate,” in reality negotiations with hard-liners began much earlier.
  • He admits there is nothing moderate about Rouhani.
  • Shortly after Rouhani was elected in 2013, he and Obama exchanged letters, and Obama later publicly reached out to Iran in a speech to the UN General Assembly.
  • In November of that year, it was revealed that a preliminary deal between Iran and the West was made possible due to secret talks that the United States and Iran held for more than half a year and were authorized by Obama himself.
  • Those discussions were kept hidden even from America's closest friends, including its five negotiating partners and from Israel.
  •  The reason for the skewed presentation of the talks' timeline, said Rhodes on Sunday, was to enable the administration to sell the deal to a wider audience.  
  • But he couldn't.  The fact is that 840 U.S. rabbis, over 200 U.S. generals and admirals, and 56 leading US nuclear weapons, arms control and intelligence experts signed other letters opposing the Iran nuclear agreement. 
  • Barack Obama works on a speech with Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications.
    Rhodes and Obama
    create a narrative
    A majority of Congress voted against the Iran deal and when Congress voted on it last September, the American people opposed the agreement by a 2-1 margin and 64% believed President Obama and Secretary Kerry had misled the public about the deal.
  • In eight months, Ben Rhodes can get back to his former life — as he puts it, “drinking and smoking pot and hanging out in Central Park.” And presumably writing more fiction — this time perhaps the honest kind that does not pretend to be non-fiction. The entire world, except perhaps the world of fiction, will be better for it.

HOW THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT ENABLES PALESTINIAN INCITEMENT AND TERROR by allocating them radio and TV frequencies which they use to incite hate and genocide against Jews - Israeli legal organization is threatening to take the government to court

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • BETRAYAL IN ISRAEL - There has been a trend among Israeli politicians for many decades to allow the undermining of Israeli security and sovereignty.  It would be nearly impossible to ascertain what is behind this. 
  • It is not only the Israeli left that openly advocates in favor of Arabs and against Jews.  Any politician or government official who reaches a certain degree of authority - big and small - seems to come under some kind of influence that makes him support policies that weaken Israel. Here are some examples.   
  • BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in IsraelThe Israeli government has turned a blind eye to the massive Arab illegal building in Israel on both sides of the Green Line for years!  Arabs build entire villages, the European Union builds Arab towns, all without government authorization and with complete impunity. 
  • But if a Jew dares to build an extension to his house in Judea, Samaria (West Bank) or Biblical Jerusalem, authorities raze it in a flash because, contrary to propaganda, there has been a freeze on Jewish construction for years in Judea and Samaria and parts of Jerusalem.
  • With very few exemptions, Jews don't get permits to own firearms in Israel.  That means that whenever they are attacked by Arabs in the streets or when driving on the road, they are completely helpless. 
  • However, some Arab towns, own actual arsenals.  There are weapon factories in the Palestinian Authority.  Arabs shoot in the air in celebration all the time.  The Israeli government looks the other way.   
  • Although the government will reiterate how sacred Jerusalem is to Israel, authorities have allowed Arabs to build illegally in Jerusalem and expand their control over the city -through construction and violence - to the extent that it is hardly an Israeli city anymore. 
  • Authorities also repeat that sacred Temple Mount - where the ancient Jewish Temple used to be before it was razed by the Romans - is Judaism most sacred site.  However, since Muslim invaders had built a mosque on top (as Muslim conquerors usually do), the Israeli government gave full control of the area to the Jordanians as a conciliation gesture after Israel's liberation of the site in 1967. 
  • Today, afraid of Arab riots, the government severely limits visits by Jews to Temple Mount, and arrests any Jew who seems to move his lips in prayer.   Photo on the right shows police arresting Jew who sat down to pray.
  • The Israeli government funds films, theatre, and various art forms that denigrate Israel and the Jews. 
  • The Israeli government has allowed anti-Semitic and anti-Israel non-governmental organizations (NGOs)  - usually funded by Europe - to operate freely in Israel, undermining the rule of law and inciting Arabs to riot and to attack Jews.
  • Although there is solid LEGAL and historical evidence for Israel's right to the disputed land of Judea and Samaria, successive Israeli governments have REFUSED to even mention this key documentation, or use it in any way to debunk claims that Arabs - the descendants of Muslim conquerors -  have any rights to it.
  • The list of betrayals is very long, and very tragic, because tiny Israel is the last refuge for Jews in a world that is erupting in a new wave of vicious and violent anti-Semitism. 
When you look aghast at the way Angela Merkel's open borders policy is systematically destroying the security and sovereignty of Germany and other European Union countries, you are seeing the approximate European equivalent of the Israeli betrayal of the people by their own governments.
 
Israeli border police officers carry a right wing protester after he attempted to block a road during a demonstrationSo why do Israeli politicians do this?  Some commentators have suggested that leftist Israeli authorities' ambiguous or passive-aggressive attitude against Jews is part of an insidious long-term plan.
 
They say that politicians know that partition and the outright mass surrender of land to Muslims would result in a popular revolt.   Most Israelis no longer believe in the Land-For-Peace hoax. 
 
So politicians cleverly allow the gradual erosion of sovereignty, the ongoing demonization of Jews by the Palestinian Authority, and the establishment of Arab facts on the ground, hoping that all those factors will some day reach a tipping point when Jews will no longer hold control of the situation, and Israel's defeat by a thousand cuts will be a fait accompli.  

This is why they don't seem to mind the massive Palestinian anti-Israel propaganda campaign abroad, and their indoctrination in hate and murder using TV and radio frequencies provided by State of Israel.
 
If you want to follow news of Israeli authorities' betrayal, here are two websites that will completely change your view of Israel, whether you are a critic or a supporter:
 
Israel National News - Arutz Sheva - http://www.israelnationalnews.com/
Jewish Press - http://www.jewishpress.com/

‘Israel, stop distributing TV and radio frequencies to Palestinians’
 
 
         
Shurat HaDin Legal Organization demand government to stop PA frequency allocation due to incitement to murder Israelis.
It is inconceivable that the Israeli government will continue to allocate TV and Radio frequencies for Palestinians, who advocate killing Jews. In Rwanda, heads of television and radio which called for incitement to genocide were convicted of war crimes, but the Israeli government ignores this and does not take the obvious steps to prevent this,” 
The Israeli NGO Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Center, on Sunday addressed Prime Minister and Minister of Communications Binyamin Netanyahu, demanding an immediate stop to the allocation of radio and television frequencies for Palestinians, due to incitement to murder Israelis and Jews.
 
Nitsana Darshan-LeitnerAccording to a letter sent by Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner (photo on the right), director of Shurat HaDin, the Israeli government distributes said frequencies under the Oslo Accords.

However, radio and television broadcasts are used by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to encourage the current wave of terrorism and incitement to murder.

Incitement to murder is a violation of the PA’s commitments under the Oslo agreements, and incitement to genocide is an offense under international law. Shurat HaDin are threatening to take the government to the High Court (Supreme Court) if they do not stop allocating frequencies immediately.
 
The letter further stated that a significant portion of terror in the recent wave of attacks is being incited directly by official PA radio and television, with leaders encouraging such attacks.
 
This was illustrated when Murad Bader Abdullah Adais, the 16-year-old Arab terrorist who stabbed to death Dafna Meir at her home in Otniel, admitted that he was inspired to launch his murderous attack by Palestinian TV. 

 Breitbart
“It is inconceivable that the Israeli government will continue to allocate TV and Radio frequencies for Palestinians, who advocate killing Jews.

"In Rwanda, heads of television and radio which called for incitement to genocide were convicted of war crimes, but the Israeli government ignores this and does not take the obvious steps to prevent this,” said Darshan-Leitner.
 
“US and European Jewish communities successfully fought to close the Muslim propaganda broadcasts on radio and television (there), and only Israel lets it go. The government must adopt a zero tolerance policy for incitement to murder Jews and stop the allocation of frequencies immediately.”

YOUTUBE CLOSES "PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH" channel for exposing Palestinian videos of genocidal incitement and hatred against Jews, and indoctrination of children to hate and kill Jews YOUTUBE DOES NOT WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PALESTINIAN RACISM AND VIOLENCE

Dealing with monopolies.  Facebook and Twitter are monopolies.  They are unique and successful at what they do, and they have managed to get millions of subscribers hooked and completely under their control and censorship. 
 
YouTube (illustration)YouTube is also a monopoly, but it is even more powerful because - although we can easily ignore Facebook and Twitter - we absolutely need to use YouTube to access billions of all kinds of videos. 
 
Obviously social media need publishing standards.  However, they apply standards and censorship based on the political ideology of those in charge. 
 
While Facebook, Twitter and YouTube don't seems to have a problem publishing virulent anti-Semitic and even violent pro-jihadi content, they apply stricter rules when it comes to items posted by conservatives.  It is also more likely that they will censor those who expose the violent nature of Islam.  The reason behind this censorship is that such information may increase public opposition to the rising presence and influence of Muslims in the West.

TWITTER KEEPS ISIS ACCOUNTS ON but is banning users who report terrorists - Read more  - http://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/03/twitter-not-taking-down-isis-accounts-but-banning-users-who-report-terrorists
 
Mainstream media censorship of news unfavorable to Islam is now endemic all over the Western world.  European media have consistently censored news about Muslim crime because it may affect the public perception of migrants, and interfere with EU governments' agenda of bringing millions more Muslims into Europe. 
 
Screenshot of Palestinian TV educational program for children

YouTube terminates PMW account for incitement, although all PMW did was to expose Palestinian incitement.  The latest victim of YouTube censorship is Palestinian Media Watch, a well-established and popular website that relies on YouTube videos of Palestinian TV and social media to show the world the violent reality hidden from the public by pro-Palestinian propaganda. 


UPDATE from Israel National News:  PMW YOUTUBE ACCOUNT RESTORED - Many of PMW's followers contacted YouTube and its parent company, Google, to appeal the block and their appeals seem to have succeeded.   The cycle of PMW revealing Palestinian incitement and hypocrisy, and then being temporarily frozen, has happened multiple timesIn 2010 PMW published a video of the Palestinian Authority's senior religious leader, Mufti Muhammad Hussein, declaring that it is a religious imperative to murder Jews. Soon after, the PMW YouTube account was banned from uploading new content for two weeks.

Harassment?  They harass because they can.  That's the prerogative of a monopoly.

TOP GERMAN JOURNALIST ADMITS GOVERNMENT SETS NEWS MEDIA AGENDA - THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE on Muslim criminality among government, media and police in Europe - IT MIRRORS ISRAEL where police cover up cases of Muslim terror, and where the leftist Supreme Court and media push for pro-Muslim policies in Israel, while the international media keeps silent about ongoing wave of terror against Israeli Jews

EUROPEAN MEDIA-GOVERNMENT COLLUSION OVER MUSLIM MIGRANT CRIMINALITY MIRRORS ITS BLIND EYE TO PALESTINIAN VIOLENCE AGAINST THE JEWS……. (Read more further down this page)

European government-media conspiracy of deception, and the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Europeans

Traditional news organizations are suffering badly, as much of the public abandoned them to turn to online alternative media, such as the very popular Drudge and Breitbart. 
 
Mainstream media have not only been accused of bias and coverups over the years, but of outright distortions and falsehoods in news reporting. 

This situation affects to some degree almost all of the traditional media, which tauts itself as being the freest in the world, while actually acting as puppets of powerful special interests.  
 
The internet has changed everything by exposing their insidious agenda, and by reporting on news and ideas usually kept hidden from the public.   This became apparent in the latest migrant crisis in Europe. 
 Germany media, and in particular ZDF, were roundly condemned for failing to immediately report on the wave of sex attacks that occurred in Cologne during the city's chaotic New Year's Eve celebrations (pictured)
A conspiracy is exposed.  As we read how Muslim migrants had turned to crime, violence, and rape in Europe, we also learned how EU pro-migrant governments - along with their police departments and traditional media -  had CONSPIRED to keep those facts hidden from the public. 

They almost succeeded except that migrants, emboldened by authorities' leniency to their crimes, organized a mass rape assault in Cologne on New Years' Eve where hundreds of women were groped and gang raped.   This is one of those Muslim traditions that have been observed in crowded  situations in Cairo and other places.

Security videos of the site of the crime were ordered erased by the German government, but no one can keep hundreds of victims quiet, so the news inevitably leaked out. 
 
And then a much wider conspiracy was exposed.  It turned out that for years it has been standard operating procedure for police and media to hide reports of crimes whenever Muslims are the perpetrators, so as not to turn public opinion against them. 

We knew that Muslims make up 70% of convicts in French jails, although they are only around 10% of the population.   That is outstanding.

Alternative media had alerted us about Muslim crimes and the coverup, but unless you read it, you did not know about it.
 
Deception and treason.  European governments' actions border on actual treason.  Scandinavian countries and Germany, among others, have been the most shameless practitioners of this reprehensible deception.    
 
Importing Muslim migrants is not a humanitarian endeavor.  There is a darker agenda. 
 
(1)  Leftists want more voters.  There have been several political reasons for the importation of Muslims into Europe.  One of them is to increase the voting base for leftist parties.  
 
(2)  The ethnic cleansing of white Europe for its sins.  The other is more complex and it involves the deliberate replacement of indigenous Europeans with Muslims from the Middle East and Africa.  

White Europeans have a negative reproduction rate (not enough babies to replace them).  There are over 53 million Muslims in Europe reproducing at a rapid rate, much faster now with relentless immigration.  Plain math demonstrates that over time Muslims will outnumber indigenous Europeans. 

The first phase of this ethnic replacement by stealth took place under the Labour government in England.

got away with a lot.
Still laughing.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.  
 
He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote".   As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.   (Read more further down on this page.)
Although it is not an explicit agenda,  the most radical pro-Muslim immigration activists have come out openly to declare that due to its sins, the white race must be eliminated. 
 
Even Angela Merkel dismissed a German woman's legitimate question regarding security at a public meeting on Muslim immigration by saying more or less that - because of their World War II record -  Germans don't have the moral right to criticize what Muslims do in Europe.  End of discussion.   
 
This same leftist agenda has been at work in Israel for decades, trying to dilute its Jewish majority to ultimately dismantle the state to turn it over to the Muslims. 

The pro-Muslim immigration argument is manipulated with a different twist for Israelis.  They are told that due to their history of suffering and persecution, they have no moral right to refuse entry to an unlimited number of Africans making the trek across the Egyptian Sinai desert and infiltrating into Israel. 

You Jews, of all people, should feel compassion for these refugees, the Israeli left admonishes the government and the Israeli public.   Of course everyone knows they are not refugees, but economic migrants.

Africans infiltrators
in Israel
And so for years the Israeli government went along with the leftist agenda and let Africans in.  There are about 70,000 Muslim Africans in a country where Jews constitute merely 6 million in a general population of 8.5 million Israelis (that includes 20% Arabs and other ethnic groups).  

African Muslim infiltrators, mostly from Sudan and Eritrea, engage in crime, violence, rape, and murder.  And since there is no politically-correct way to remove them from Israel, they stay and reproduce.  They have turned south Tel Aviv and other areas into places of high crime and violence.
 
The Israeli leftist Labour party has openly come out against French Jewish immigration into Israel, although Jews are fleeing France for their lives as Muslims continue to attack and murder them.   Israeli leftists fear French Jews will increase the pro-right wing vote.  So it's all about votes and about diluting the Jewish character of Israel.  Yes to African Muslim infiltrators, no to French Jewish refugees. 
 
Top German journalist admits live on-air that it is the government that imposes the national news media agenda

By Oliver J.J. Lane - for Breitbart
 
Wolfgang Herles (pictured) claims Germany's news agenda is 'laid down by the government'A retired media boss at a major German state broadcaster has admitted his network and others take orders from the government on what — and what not — to report.

National public service broadcaster Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF), which was recently forced into a humiliating apology for their silence on migrant violence and sex assault is being drawn into a fresh scandal after one of their former bureau chiefs admitted the company takes orders from the government on what it reports. He said journalists received instructions to write news that would be “to Ms. Merkel’s liking”.
 
Wolfgang HerlesFormer head of ZDF Bonn Dr. Wolfgang Herles make the remarks during a radio event in Berlin where journalists discussed the media landscape.
 
Moving on to the freedom of the press, the panel chair asked Dr. Herles whether things in Germany had got “seriously out of whack”.
 
With an honesty perhaps unusual in Germany, Dr. Herles replied that ordinary Germans were totally losing faith in the media, something he called a “scandal”. He said: 
 
“We have the problem that – now I’m mainly talking about the public [state] media – we have a closeness to the government. Not only because commentary is mainly in line with the grand coalition (CSU, CDU, and SPD), with the spectrum of opinion, but also because we are completely taken in by the agenda laid down by the political class”.
 
Worse than the mainstream, government controlled and poll-tax funded media in Germany just agreeing with the ruling coalition, the stations actually took orders on what was and was not to be reported on. He said:
 
“…the topics about which are reported are laid down by the government.

“There are many topics that would be more important than what the government wants. But they, of course, want to deflect attention away from what doesn’t happen. Yet what doesn’t happen is often more important than what does happen – more important than gesture politics”.
 
While these orders are sent to media companies from unspecified places in the government, they are communicated to individual journalists by news executives using a new-speak jargon.
 
Dr. Herles explains that while there are, in fact, instructions from above”, when the editor in chief of ZDF communicated these instructions to his juniors he would merely say reporting should be framed in a way that “serves Europe and the public good”.
 
There would be no need to add in brackets that this actually means it should be reported “to Ms. Merkel’s liking”, as they would be understood as the true meaning.
 
“Today, one is not allowed to say anything negative about the refugees” said Dr. Herles, concluding: “This is government journalism and that leads to a situation in which people no longer trust us. This is a scandal.”
 
There has been very little reporting of the comments in the German media, and what there was has been critical of the remarks.
