(This is the third in a series of posts covering a panel event last Tuesday sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition).
After Walid Shoebat, Phillippe Karsenty spoke. Karsenty is the founder of the French organization Media Ratings, which monitors French media for inaccuracies and distortions. The publication has over 20,000 subscribers within French media and is considered to have wide influence.
Karsenty screened news footage of the French riots. All the shouting was in Arabic. The subtitles read, "Dirty Jew! Dirty Jew!" There was no way to avoid seeing that this was a racist Islamist riot -- not, as French media represented it, a riot unrelated to matters of Islamofascism. From my handwritten notes of Karsenty's remarks (not expected to be verbatim):
The riots that started in October never ceased. Tonight it is likely 100 cars will be burned. For those who believe the riots are over, on New Years' Eve, 425 cars were burned. A train was assaulted and women were raped.
The vast majority of the rioters -- 95% -- were Muslim. As they rioted, as you saw on the tape, they shouted "Allahu Akbar!" When they showed that film on TV, the words being shouted were "Sarkozy! Dirty Jew!" But the French media put the subtitle, "Sarkozy! Fascist!" The sound of the words is similar, but people didn't need to know what they said.
The rioters didn't burn the shops or cars of the Arabs and Muslims. French media hid the Muslim character of the riots. This is heavily influencing worldwide media coverage.
French media will tell you each day the exact number of Americans who died in Iraq, the exact number of Palestinians killed. But nobody in France knows how many died in the French riots. According to the media, everybody who died during that time died of a heart attack. This policeman -- heart attack. This person -- heart attack. You're watching TV and you say, "surely they're not going to say heart attack again," and they say, heart attack.
French TV can't even call them "rioters." They call them "les jeunes" -- the youth.
Media Ratings has documented that the famous Al-Dura footage, of a Palestinian boy supposedly shot dead by Israelis on the first day of the second Intifada, was staged and faked. The outtakes of the footage show the boy raising his hand, after he is supposedly dead. The outtakes have on the sound track the crowd shouting "The boy is dead! The boy is dead!" -- while the boy on film isn't even pretending to be dead yet. I first posted on this a year ago, citing the Media Ratings report, and did a follow-up post on this in September.
France Deux, the French TV outlet that "reported" the Al-Dura story, is suing Media Ratings over Media Ratings' exposure of France Deux's false reporting.
On December 14, 2006, the lawsuit will take place. If French justice is working, we will win. And actually French justice is working.. When we win, when this comes it's going to be a huge victory, because people will see that when the jihadists make up fictions, they can be beaten.
Listening to Phillippe made me realize that France is the front line of the jihadist war on the West. And France is losing.
France has the atomic bomb. France must not fall into Islamofascist hands.
