  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's because they are being attacked by Israel - doh!

Some remarkable verbal gymnastics here to justify Israel attacking a few unarmed small boats in international waters. But then given you justify Israel murdering well over 60.000 mostly women and children in Gaza on completely spurious grounds then it's par for the course for you.

They aren't fighting a war. They are creating a bloodbath and they are erasing any imprints of Palenstinians and GAzans on their land.

I'm going to twirl my arms around and if you happen to get in the way and get hit by them that's YOUR fault.
What a childish understanding.

Its either that or they are showing solidarity with the Arabs who force rhat upon their women. Next thing you know they will be tossing gays overboard.

No. The nonmuslims don't have head coverings on....at least in the pictures I've seen.
Do you just LAP up Israeli media with any thought?


rjs330 said:
Yes its to be expected that leftist journalists would support Arab propaganda.

You may be surprised to learn that awards for journalism have to be based on factual reporting. Fox rarely gets those so you may not be aware....

You know...how reality has well known liberal bias?

In what respect? Al Jazeera has a "leans left" rating on some issues, but they generally come from an Islamic point of view, which is hardly leftist.

No, not leftist, but they're smart enough not to alienate Western leftists who are very "useful", if you know what I mean.

Lean Left Rating Confirmed in June 2022 Small Group Editorial Review​

Al Jazeera's Lean Left rating was confirmed in a June 2022 Small Group Editorial Review by the AllSides team. Reviewers on the left, center, and right detected types of media bias including Lean Left slant, story choice, bias by omission, opinion presented as fact, subjective qualifying adjectives, and word choice in Al Jazeera's content.


I guess Al Jazeera s left leaning after all.

Those that give them awards are leftists. It also leans left and is anti-west. Thats why the left likeable and supports them. Anything anti-west is welcomed by the left. Strange bedfellows.

Lets us remember the 268 Journalists who have died in Palestine, together with the 4 who have died in Israel. Their job and vocation is to shine a light on what is happening. None of them was perfect; they all no doubt lent left or right or even both ways; however, they are not the enemy of freedom and truth. Let us remember them as people, friends, relatives, Sons and Daughters, Mothers and Fathers, and with grateful hearts commend them to God.

We are getting way too many reports from this thread. It is closed for a few days for a cool down, and for a probable clean up. ​
