@I guess Ariana finally saw his face …
@This is why you click the link 1. Bwog/Aditi Patil – based on the source provided, the student has NOT been deported from Israel. According to your own source the Israeli Supreme Court “suspended her deportation pending a discussion of the case.” Please correct this immediately.
2. This is the second instance I have found in which Bwog/Patil has contradicted their own source. Coincidentally both times have been related to Israel, and both times the contradiction was to the detriment of Israel. Here is the first: http://bwog.com/2018/10/01/bwoglines-global-citizen-and-gender-justice-edition/
My comment –
“Sorry, the Palestinians weren’t “protesting to Hamas” (whatever that means), they were heeding Hamas’ own call to protest and then threw “rocks and explosives toward Israeli troops stationed on the opposite side of the fence” according to your own source. Whoops! That doesn’t fit the narrative. Better paper it over with an incoherently formulated sentence because hey, this is Bwog, so who’s gonna notice?
Not sure if you lack basic reading comprehension or journalistic integrity. Correct this immediately.”
As of this post, they have not corrected their story.
3. It bears repeating: does Bwog have any journalistic integrity? Can the author read? Are they just anti-Israel? Is this part of the Bwog-isn’t-serious-about-journalism bit? Why should anyone trust anything they put out?
@Anonymous If you don’t agree with Israel, they will detain you, kill you, just like North Korea, China, Russia. You are not allowed to say anything negative about Israel.
@Anonymous Was the first reply to this comment sarcastic? Or was it yet another case of blood libel about Israel?
@This is why you click the link Patil*
@This is why you click the link Bwog at it again – according to your own source Israel’s Supreme Court “suspended her deportation pending a discussion of the case.” Clearly she has not yet been deported, and may in fact be allowed to stay…
I’ll keep a running tally here of patently false things Bwog (or this writer Aditi Patel) say about Israel. Remember, this is just based on the sources to which Patel is linking. Maybe then things will be corrected…
