Title: Dear Reuters, You Must Be Kidding
Post by: IronDioPriest on March 24, 2011, 10:40:35 AM
No, they're not kidding.

From Jeffrey Goldberg @ The Atlantic, HT: instapundit... (http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/)

Dear Reuters, You Must Be Kidding (http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/03/dear-reuters-you-must-be-kidding/72940/)

This is from a Reuters story on the Jerusalem bombing earlier today[3/23/11]:[blockquote]Police said it was a "terrorist attack" -- Israel's term for a Palestinian strike. It was the first time Jerusalem had been hit by such a bomb since 2004.[/blockquote]Those Israelis and their crazy terms! I mean, referring to a fatal bombing of civilians as a "terrorist attack"? Who are they kidding? Everyone knows that a fatal bombing of Israeli civilians should be referred to as a "teachable moment." Or as a "venting of certain frustrations." Or as "an understandable reaction to Jewish perfidy." Or perhaps as "a very special episode of 'Cheers.'" Anything but "a terrorist attack." I suppose Reuters will mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by referring to the attacks as "an exercise in urban renewal."

The mind reels.

An Israeli term?!

It's a fricken common term for the vast majority of people on the planet not carriers of the multi-culti/diversity/pc disease, you terrorist-coddling evil Jew-hating scum-buckets!
