The gaping hole in Shuttleworth’s narrative

@HenMazzig: Al Jazeera broadcasted a welcome-home celebration for Samir Kuntar, a terrorist who kidnapped & murdered a Jewish family for blood sport. He smashed a 4-year-old’s skull to pieces. Al Jazeera called him a hero. Lets not pretend they can be unbiased and honest about Israel.

@KiwiDaveC: The 2 faces of @golrizghahraman: holding Jews to a different standard. She had not condemned any of the terror attacks over the past weeks in which 19 Israelis have been murdered. She simply does not care. And someone should tell her The Protocols is not a "play book". https://t.co/6hg12u9cHD

@JulietMosesNZ: This legendary courtroom defender of genocidaires immediately judges Israel to be guilty of the murder of a journalist and war crimes (in circs where there is footage of Palestinians shooting and throwing IEDs) because it’s “the play book”. Blood libels are also a play book. https://t.co/pDJmYp3pQX
