GIST:  
	Asked if the UN Report on the Qana shelling was fair.
	Answered that it was pro-Israel.

ANALYSIS:  CNN SOP
-----------------------------------------------------------------

COMMENT:
	It's time to ask the crucial question: Does the interntionalmedia routinely reflect anti-Israel media-bias because:
	(A) All the goyim hate the Jews
	(B) The capitalist media are lackeys of their governments;primarily the USA, with "Great" Britain huffing & puffing alongbehind 
	(C) It's good business.

I say (C).                                                        

----------------------------------------------------------------
ANALYSIS:

	CNN has virtually quaisi--super-governmental status. Premiers queue to let CNN's Official Turkeys sandbag them on PrimeTime.
	So: Ask which side CNN's bread is buttered on.
	That is, who does it need to butter up.
	Revenues are practically a by-product; Access, Image, andplacement are immediate needs.
	CNN deals with all the nations of the world.  Most are moreor less anti-Israel ["anti-Zionist"].                 
l2
primarily (tyrannies of the PLO-Arab-Iran bloc); secondarily(other Muslim states); or tertially (underdeveloped nationsindebted to, and western democracies doing big business in&/or with the Arab-Iran bloc; as well as all statesthreatened with terrorist destablization by the PLO-Arab-Iranbloc.  (Others have detailed the major impact of that threaton the business and political policies of the Eruopeandemocracies.)         
l1
	The anti-Zionism of the tyrants of the PLO-Arab-Iran blocconsists essentially of an unappeasable and essentiallyunnegotiable opposition to Israel's existence; since the existencewithin their self-defined region of a democracy, and moreover of anon-Muslim state, presents a logical challenge to the necessity ofMuslim tyrannies (both secular and theocratic).  Further, the PLOrequires a state of chronic semi-war to cloak the exploitation ofits own people; and the Tyrant of the PLO seems motivated by adisplaced pathologic self-hatred analogous to that of Nazi-ism.

.p




	Although (as many have noted) anti-Zionism is the mosteffective tool of anti-Semitism, the anti-Zionism of the tyranniesof the PLO-Arab-Iran bloc seems primarily motivated by 3 facto




l2 
It may be intentional that CNN's anchorpeople aredemonstrable nonentities:  either 3rd-world women selfevidently hired (regardless of their qualifications) astokensts; or over-the-hill potbellied barstool journalists.  	Only by using nonentities for interviewers andcommentators can CNN get away with slanging world leaders inpursuit of its super-political agenda.
l1

I think anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism, is a major motivation forCNN; and I think that anti-Zionism is only secondarily antiSemitic 
l2
(as many have noted, the goyim love dead Jews; they darnednear canonized Spielberg.) 
l1
	The motivation for anti-Zionism is just what it says:  theexistence of the state of Israel.  
l2
Not for any violations of Arab civil liberty/human rights, towhich Arab despots are indifferent; but because the simplefact of the existence of the state of Israel calls intoquestion the necessity of the absolutism of Arab despotism. (All of which is masque'd in pseudo-nostalgia for the ArabImperialist Jihad of the 7th Century; and tends to presentmisrepresent itself as pan-Arabism.)                
l3
So it's less than secondary that Israel is "western". What's primary is that it's non-Arab; identifying itsotherness as "western" merely puts a handle on thatrejection.
	Although it may be that the essential problem isthat Israel is a democracy; had we been conquered by theUSSR, the Arab despots might have been reasonablycomfortable co-existing with an analogous tyranny. Because a despot cares primarily about his own survivalin power, not about his state (most overthrown despotsorganize comfortable bug-outs).  So that by definitionthe primary threat to a despot is democracy.  So it isthe continued existence of Israel as a democracy -- themore so because it includes Arab citizens -- that is thereal threat.
l1
One must note that anti-Zionism is, despite masques of concern forthe national rights (and very secondarily, civil liberty and humanrights) of the "Palestinian" quaisi-ethnic minority, essentiallynihilistic (as was, paradigmatically, Nazi "facism".)  So notmerely can Israel not negotiate peaceful co-existence with it, butevery attempt to do so will feed and encourage the demon.
	Nihilism (eg Spanish and German facism; although apparentlynot Italian facism) is essentially an expression of a subconsciousdesire for self-destruction (the limiting case of self-hatred.) 
l2
(Some forms of male homosexuality, some say, may be relatedexpressions of subconscious self-hatred

might be interesting here.
l1
Hence it is by defintition not merely irredentist but insatiable(as, again, Nazi facism, which continued in a policy of massmurder and mass destruction long past the point where any rationalargument could be made that that served national nor militarypurposes.  Dimont suggests that the Nazis had intended to extendtheir genocide to other peoples. ).
	That is:  since what the nihilist (facist) essentially wantsis his own unadmitted self-destruction 
l2
[as Reich suggested, in an unbearably stupid pathalogicdenial of attraction to the "little death" of sexuality] 
l1
then acting out a displacement of that desire in the destructionof others will only feed that pathalogic addiction, and hence willbe insatiable.
l2 
[At this stage one needs to address the greater level ofsexual represssiveness, especially heterosexualrepressiveness, in Arab than in western societies; whilenoting that both are appropirate to their different levels ofsocio-economic development. ]
l3
If a shepherd lets his daughter go out, and she getsknocked up, he can fall from economic prosperity toruin; hence the Bedouin notion of "family honor" is avestigal reflection of what was until modern times justsound business practice, its inhumanity masqued inpiety.

	Within a few years of opening a storefront,CNN has become avirtually quaisi--super-governmental entity; to the point thatmajor-league heads of state and the UN SecretaryGeneral submit to being interviewed by its Official Turkeys(of which below) in alive format designed to sandbag and make fools of the former.
	So: Ask which side CNN's bread is buttered on.
	That is, who does it need to butter up (as they say at theNew Yorker).
	The Madwoman of Chaillot ain't crazy, just stupid:  theinterests of CNN, a multinational corporation, are far morecomplext than simply revenues.  Eg, it depends on Access to worldleaders (not merely who, but also when and how and how readily andin what mode); on governmental regulation, on commerical placementopportunities, on viewer-ship.
	In all of the above, Israel's clout is a bit less than thatof the Arab states, not to mention the states depenent
on carrots & sticks from the Arab states, not to mention thestates that do big business with the Arab states.  So simpleclassical old-fashioned anti-Semitism is far back on the line.  	Besides, the First Commandment of the Code of Chivalry ofCapitalist is:  Be as a gentleman to thine enemy, the better toscrew him on the profit-margin. [Slippery Jim Baker raised that toa Principle of Statesmanship.] 
	As many have noted, the goyim love to be nice to dead Jews. Holocaust monuments we got.  So I think it's simplistic to saythat post-WWII anti-Semitisim takes the crypto'd form of antiZionism.  I'd guess that anti-Zionism is pretty much what it saysit is:  opportunism by the tyrants Arab bloc and their campfollowers of western Europe, under the guise of xenophobic andanti-Western nostalgia for the good ol' days of 600 C.E.  (Zionism seemed like a lovely idea at the time, , but seems tohave set rather a bad example for Iran and Serbia.) 
	That is:  the primary motivation for anti-Zionism is notanti-Semitism; it's the existence of Israel.  As many have noted,this is an essentially nihilistic (eg, facistic), and henceinsatiable, motivation; since the nihilist is motivated bysubconscious hatred of his own existence, he can at most onlytemporarily be slaked, never sated, by concessions from anddestruction of those he defines as his enemieis.   Since the PLOis essentially the device of Chairperson Poopoohead [Cf. Jarry'ssketch of Pere Ubu -- behind Jarry's dadaiste whimsy, aninsatiably facistic image] , insufficent attention has been givento analysis of the pathology of that miserable excuse for a 4thrate killerfruit demon.
