I remember that you once posted an article that was heavily edited to delete Churchill's strong support of Zionism.
Now, you give us an article that was later revealed to be false, but you don't tell us this. Why not?

HEADLINE: HAUNTED BY THE 'ETHNIC BOMB'
BYLINE: David Horovitz
BODY:
A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO years ago, in a story that featured high on its front page, the Sunday Times of London published the horrifying and purportedly sensational allegation that Israel was developing an "ethnic bomb - an ethnically targeted biological weapon that would kill or harm Arabs but not Jews."
Purportedly sensational but, on even the most superficial reflection, patently ridiculous. For even laying aside the question of whether Israel might want to develop such a weapon, how on earth would scientists be able to devise deadly microorganisms so fiendishly clever as to eliminate Arabs but not genetically similar Jews?
Though the Sunday Times was subsequently to reject this most vehemently, its article probably originated in a work of fiction penned by a Tel Aviv University lecturer, Doron Stanitsky, about "Operation Seed of Amalek," an imagined effort by prime minister David Ben-Gurion to create an Arabs-only biological bomb. In Stanitsky's fictional account, which he circulated among Israeli newspapers some years ago, the project foundered on that same tricky problem: how to get rid of the Arabs without getting rid of the genetically similar Jews.
So the reporters took a work of fiction and reported it as fact!!!! No wonder we've heard no more of this "ethnic bomb". |
