There has never been a double standard like the double standard the world has for Israel.

Take for example, Shireen Abu Akleh’, the Al Jazeera journalist who was killed last week in clashes between Palestinian terrorists and Israel.

Here are some stats for you. Pay attention.

According to the international federation of journalists, between 1990 and 2020, there were 2,658 journalists killed in war zones, several of them from Al Jazeera. 12, to be exact.

340 killed in Iraq. 178 in Mexico. 160 in the Philippines. 138 in Pakistan. 116 in India.

Out of the 12 Al Jazeera journalists killed in war zones since 1990, seven were killed in Syria, two in Iraq, one in Yemen, one in Libya, and one… One in clashes between Palestinian terrorists in Israel.

So out of the 2,658 deaths, why is it that one, only one is all over the press? Only one is getting massive constant attention. Can you name any of the other 2,657 journalists? No, you cannot because Israel wasn’t involved so no Jews to blame. No Jews, no press.

The irony here is that even though the world and specifically the mainstream media have already convicted Israel of this murder, neither side can confirm that to be the case. Israel offered to conduct an open investigation by analyzing the bullet. The Palestinians rejected it.

So what is it called when there is one standard for the rest of the world and another standard for the Jews? In the other 2,657 cases, we know exactly who killed the journalist and yet, silence. Here, we don’t know, and yet, non stop antisemitic poison from every direction.

So yes, this death is tragic, but not any more tragic than the other 2,657 journalists killed in the last 20 yrs. But the headlines read “Israel kills journalist in cold blood.”, “Israeli sniper intentionally murders Al Jazeera journalist.” All lies. Zero truth. So interesting…

So that is what’s called a double standard. That’s hypocrisy at its best. That is pure good ol fashioned Jew hatred. Make no mistake about it. They can call it whatever they want. They can disguise it by calling it anti Zionism all they want. It’s pure Jew hatred. Period.

This is just another example in a long line of instances in which there was one standard for the world and another standard for the Jews. It’s hard to believe how, when it comes to Israel, the world has lost its moral compass.

Thanks for the stats, @noatishby. You’re amazing.
