The Zionist Street Journal

There isn't a more mainstream newspaper that is more fanatically pro-Zionist than the Wall Street Journal. The first national newspaper in America used to be a business-focused, Republican-centric publication which held realist foreign policy views. This was one of the first papers to offer a strong criticism of the Vietnam War and its impracticality back in the 1960s.

You would not know it today. The Journal, akin to the Republican establishment, has been taken over by neo-conservatives. Its domestic and business/finance reporting is still above-par and excellent. But now its also focuses a lot of attention on foreign policy and in this regard the Wall Street Journal is exclusively pro-Zionist and neo-con.

Almost all American papers are pro-Israel and most supported the war, and there isn't a pro-Palestinian columnist in the American press (at least I have not heard of one), but as part of their editorial duties they also believe that the other side should sometimes be heard. This is why you occasionally see pro-Palestinian op-eds in the otherwise fanatically pro-Zionist Washington Post, because at least they make a pretense of feigning balanced op-eds.

The Wall Street Journal does not even bother. Put aside their weekly 'Global View' column which is single-handedly written by a Zionist Likudnik Bret Stephens. He is supposed to write about foreign policy in general, you know 'Global Views'!, but he devotes more than half of his columns to being an apologist for Israel and attacking its critics. So the Journal's official foreign policy column is exclusively a militantly Zionist zealot. But put that aside and judge the paper as a whole.

Consider the editorial board. Here too it is exclusively pro-Israel and never faults Israel for anything while always maligning its critics. Stephens also serves as an editorial writer and often writes the Israel-focused ones. But also put this aside. The editorials are not meant to be balanced but to offer a prescriptive so fair enough, but it is the op-ed contributions where a paper is supposed to encourage debate by accepting op-eds from both sides of prominent issues. They do not have to accept an equal amount from both arguments for debates - after all, the New York Times accepts more pro-gun control than pro-gun rights op-eds - but a decent paper should at least allow for the other side to present its case every now and then even if that case if heard for one op-ed against twenty op-eds for the other side. The case should at least be heard. But the Journal does not have decency and does not even bother with any balance when it comes to Israel.

It believes in fanatically supporting Israel and that should be the only side heard. A former and late Journal editorial page editor for 30 years [1972-2002] said just that:

Robert Bartley, the former Wall Street Journal editor ...

‘Shamir, Sharon, Bibi – whatever those guys want is pretty much fine by me,’ Robert Bartley once remarked.

And it believes in more than just support, but near weekly promotion of Zionism. And if anyone attacks Israel the Journal will maligning them almost on a daily basis for a while. That it what is happening to Turkey. The Journal's editorial page has becomes obsessed with publishing every single op-ed, no matter how ridiculous, against Turkey to smear it. Consider the obsession and always presented in the most hysterical headlines and writing in an effort to tarnish Turkey:

The Death of Turkey's Democracy

Turkey, Hamas and the PKK

Turkey's Clash of Civilizations

Turkey's Radical Drift

What Is Happening to Turkey?

Notable & Quotable

Victor Davis Hanson on the flotilla and Turkey's glass house.

Erdogan and the Israel Card

Erdogan and the Decline of the Turks

With Friends Like the United States . . .

And all this in just the last few weeks since the flotilla massacre by Israel. I may have missed a few as while. The Zionists fanatics at the Journal are going in hyper-drive in their effort to defend Israel and smear and seek to destroy its enemies.

Zionist hoodlums!
