REUTERS JOINS ATTACK AGAINST ABBAS' FOR 'BLOOD LIBEL' TO PROTECT ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS

Today Palestine's president Mahmoud Abbas spoke in the European Union's Parliament, asking European Union to help to end the occupation.

During his speech he mentioned the recent call to poison Palestinian water supply from illegal Israeli settler rabbi on the occupied West Bank.

Supporters of Israeli occupation immediately declared this to be a blood libel and 'Western' media joined the attack. The reason being to take both attention from Abbas' speech, the overall positive reaction to it and the poisoning of water supplies by illegal Israeli settlers, which is a common occurrence.

Reuters' Brussels and Jerusalem correspondents Robin Emmott and Dan Williams published an article, where they tried to tarnish Abbas' comment and support the 'blood libel' argument, trying to link it such things as violence against Jews during the Black Death plague epidemic during the mid-14th century.

Beyond intentionally failing to 'realize' that the name given for one rabbi calling for poisoning of the water supply has become mangled in translation and failing to mention the many recorded cases of poisoning of springs and wells by illegal Israeli settlers, Emmott and Williams also came up with this in their article:

"The same day, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, on its website, cited what it said was a water-poisoning call from a "Rabbi Mlmad" and demanded his arrest.

Reuters and other news outlets in Israel could not locate any rabbi named Shlomo Mlma or Mlmad, and there is no listed organisation called the Council of Rabbis in the West Bank."

The trick that Emmott and Williams try here is that first, they use Palestinian terminology and look at 'listed organizations'. They go searching - in places where they knew they wouldn't find the subject of the search.

The illegal Israeli settlers' terminology is not 'West Bank', but Judea and Samaria - and the illegal Israeli settler rabbis' organization is 'Council of Rabbis of Judea and Samaria'.

It's a very well known extremist group giving religious excuses for illegal Israeli settlers' actions and is currently led by the octogenarian Dov Lior(1933-). A simple web search can reveal all of this. But supposedly Reuters' correspondents couldn't find any of this...

A one more case of 'Israel for itself and Western media for Israel'.
