God's Jewish Warrior

Well, I never thought that by expressing my freedom of protest in Jerusalem (probably in the early 90's) that I would 15 years later be labeled as one of God's Jewish Warriors by CNN's Christian Amanpour! But as I watched the program (courtesy of YouTube)last night I came across old footage of myself with a protest sign!




In a nutshell, the series was quite interesting, but extremely biased!

First of all, Ms. Amanpour equated Jewish and Christian radicals with Islamic ones. I find this very out of proportion. The fact is that Jewish and Christian radicals are NOT a global threat today as Islamic ones clearly are.

Re: the Jewish Warrior piece - How is it, that she emphasizes how the Temple Mount is Islam's third holiest shrine but neglects to mention that it is Judaism's number one holiest? Why does she insist on interviewing the 'grand mufti' of Jerusalem, but does not interview a rabbi?

These are just a few examples of the extreme slant that is represented by this series. (shocking reality coming from CNN, huh?)
