Is Time Rooting for Israel’s Defeat?

The far-left elites at Time magazine are simply following the European model of anti-Semitism. Let’s face it, there is no love for Israel in Europe and the far-left liberal elites in the American press probably think that if condemning Israel is acceptable to the “enlightened” Europeans, then it must be right for the mainstream media to promote it here in the United States. But what is even more sickening are two major points: First, if Israel disappeared tomorrow, the Middle East would still be a political basket case, the only difference being that warring Muslim factions would be slaughtering each other just like they did before there even was an Israeli state. The other point is that no matter how much sympathy you give Middle Eastern Muslims, no matter how much you try and portray them as “victims,” no matter how much Western journalists try to get their readers or viewers to “empathise” with the “plight” of those poor, disadvantaged, Palestinians, those same Middle Eastern Muslims will still hate, loath, and detest all Westerners and Christians. They may use our media for their propaganda purposes, but they will always hate the non-Muslims, be they Christians, Hindus, or Jews. We are, and always will be, “infidels” to them and no amount of sucking up from the Western media is going to change that. And those politically correct Europeans who think that aligning themselves with Muslims will spare them from future terrorist attacks, dream on. The Europeans are bending over backwards not to criticize, insult, let alone attack, any radical Muslims. And what has it gotten them? There are still terrorist cells in Europe actively planning terrorist attacks on European soil. So much for appeasing these murderers. Pity the editorial board at Time Magazine can’t see that. But, in the long run, it doesn’t really matter. Far-left publications like Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times are financial disasters and may not even be here next year. I guess their biased excuse for “news” isn’t that popular after all. It just shows you that people don’t want publications to substitute their editorial opinions for hard news. If Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times don’t get this fact very soon, Americans will go (and rightfully so) to other media outlets (such as the Internet) for their news.
