Truth Dig has the article Fake News From The Washington Post? How a Columnist Whitewashes Saudi Arabia’s Actions.

One of the key points of contention between the Gulf states is Al Jazeera, the state-sponsored cable and online news titan that has acted as an arm of Qatari soft power. Though the UAE has no such network to boast of, the emails from Yousef Otaiba—one of the Beltway’s slickest operators—show how the UAE launders its message behind influential sources in Washington.

I have long since realized that the Washington Post gas a pro-war message to peddle, and they have no shame in falsely reporting the “news” to sell their view. The level of influence that “journalist” David Ignatius has over the Obama, Clinton, and now Trump is dangerous. The fact that ordinary citizens don’t see the Washington Post as a propaganda tool of the oligarchs is particularly disappointing.

The UK Independent has the column I’m a 90-year-old woman who has lived in Israel for 50 years – here is what I think about Israeli settlements by Ruth Kedar.

For 50 years the occupation has weakened Israel from within. It should never have happened. It has brought such radical and negative change to the country I love that I wonder every day whether what we have become is a place that I want my grandchildren to grow up in. In my 90 years, I have lived all 50 of this occupation. I will keep trying to end it. I don’t know for how long, but I will.

Just looking at the comments on this piece, I see that it has already stirred up the controversy that I had expected. The fact that I am a citizen of a country that does as heinous acts as happens in Israel, is no indication that I approve of what the U.S. does. I also do not buy the committing of crimes against humanity because the other side does it too. I also do not buy the theory that this woman does not have a right to protest what her country does because she isn’t also protesting what other countries are doing. Of course the people making the accusation that she is not protesting what other countries do probably don’t know what other protests she is making.

I know I won’t change the minds of people who think you can violate human rights because someone else does too. Refusing to violate human rights is a moral stand that a person takes that has little to do with what other people are willing to do. That doesn’t even consider the possibility that the other people are using the same justification for their violations that you are using for yours. Someone has to be the first to take the moral stand.
