And yes, it was connected to the Beit Ilma camp in Nablus that the International Solidarity Movement was "protecting." They got onto the belt after interrogating the Hamas/PFLP cell leader they picked up on Thursday: Explosives belt designated for holiday attack found in Tel Aviv apartment

A suicide attack in Tel Aviv was thwarted on Saturday when security forces found an explosives belt in an apartment in the city, designated to be used in an attack over the Yom Kippur holiday.

The belt was found Saturday morning in an apartment near the southern end of Allenby Street by the Shin Bet security service, operating with Yarkon District Police.

The apartment was occupied by Palestinians residing there illegally. It was apparently smuggled in parts from the West Bank City of Nablus.

The residents attempted to resist arrest, and, in the process, one officer was wounded and needed medical attention. They were ultimately arrested and taken in for questioning.

Sappers came to the scene and blew up the belt in a controlled explosion.

The belt was intended to be used in an attack to be carried out by a suicide bomber who was arrested in Nablus late Thursday, after a three-day operation by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet officers.

The IDF had deployed large forces in the Beit Ilma refugee camp in Nablus, in an effort to capture a cell of militants that included members of Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The security services had received intelligence information that the cell was planning to carry out a suicide bombing attack in central Israel during the holidays.

The Shin Bet security service had picked up the trail to the explosives belt when it arrested Nihad Shkirat, the head of the joint Hamas-PFLP cell on Thursday, the army said. Shkirat told investigators he passed the belt to another Palestinian who works in Tel Aviv.

Police arrested that suspect Friday night and were led to the Tel Aviv apartment where they found the belt.

During the three-day operation, IDF Staff Sergeant Ben-Zion Henman was killed, as were two Palestinians, a civilian and an armed PFLP militant.

That is good news indeed! (I'm refering to the part where Israel foiled the attack).

Why is it that news like this doesn't make the front page of CNN?

Speaking for CNN, which I can do because as a Jew I Control The Media, it is much more uplifting for CNN to publish stories about how the evil denizens of TZE are making life difficult for The Already Suffering Palestinians by declaring Gaza "hostile", just because of a few thousand rocket attacks, tunnels, kidnappings, murders, bombings and shootings at the crossings.

This shows Solidarity Between Corporate Multinational America and The Downtrodden of the Earth. We have found this inspires journalists to ever-greater attempts to create better stories for you, the television viewer, and strives also to improve your morals.

This upliftingness is reinforced by CNN applause for the "peaceful demonstrations" at the "so-called security barrier", whilst exclaiming in shocked tones that the IDF "will abide a court order" to reroute said "so-called security barrier," to protect Palestinian rights; as if it is utterly amazing that the IDF would obey the laws of democratic Israel OR that the courts would recognize Palestinian rights; all the while declaring their support for the destruction of said "so-called security barrier".

Of course, this leaves no space in the segment for pictures of rocket victims in Sderot, let alone suicide vests from Nablus.

Additionally, though, there was that two-hour segment, complete with scary music, about all 5 or so Jewish terrorists, not to mention the Jewish woman so attached to Judea she's willing to live in a trailer, which is found to be extremely odd by CNN's crack Chief Foreign Investigator.

Now, Crack Foreign Investigations cost TIME AND MONEY, so The Jews should be impressed that CNN went to such trouble to portray these important people. However, this investment again left no opportunity to discuss terrorists, wars or rocket attacks let alone Jewish history, which is tediously long and involved, featuring boring incidents like expulsions, pogroms, mass crucifixions, slave labor camps, medical experiments, extermination, dhimmitude, blood libels and lots of actual books, which would probably put the audience to sleep thereby Losing Market Share And Ratings.

And who's going to sponsor THAT?

There are, after all, only 24 newshours in a day! They must be carefully managed to show, for example, many many shots of the same bombed building in Beirut over and over and over again, as well as many hours of OJ; and this takes a lot of ingenuity, so you should be more respectful of CNN's efforts on your behalf!

In any case terrorists and rocket attacks are Not Uplifting, and also threaten the Solidarity Between Corporate Multinational America And The Downtrodden Of The Earth, since it might make TDOTE look like schmucks, which would be inconvenient.

But, we think you should be edified that CNN took the time - nay - MADE the time - to discuss the diamond-bedecked Israel Lobby (boo), which terrorizes poor powerless WASPs like James Baker, Charles Percy, Jimmy Carter, the "silenced" Mearsheimer/Walt and of course, Ultimate Victim GHW Bush.

Yes! CNN spent Time and Money showing Those People, aka in aggregate "G*d's Jewish Warriors", apparently battling The Solidarity of Corporate MNAmerica With TDOTE, much as their predecessors battled The British Empire, aka The Granddaddy of Corporate Multinational America In All Its Glorious Solidarity With TDOTE, who just happen to be sitting on top of huge reserves of You Know What.

We at CNN proudly showed this in spite of the fact that The British Empire was and continues to be Extremely Embarrassed by The Israel Lobby and is having trouble getting over The King David Hotel, so please cut CNN some slack!

Nevertheless, seeing as how The Jews Control The Media, the Government, And The Money, maybe it's time to send another memo.

Thank you Sophia!

Well said, Sophia.

Another recent event that went conspicuously under-reported was that dozens of Iranian engineers and 15 Syrian officers were killed in a July 23 accident in Syria, as they were attempting to mount a chemical warhead on a scud missile.

Martin Amis coined a useful phrase in this regard "the fetishisation of “balance" which in my opinion is a new type of rhetorical fallacy:

"We are drowsily accustomed, by now, to the fetishisation of “balance”, the
groundrule of “moral equivalence” in all conflicts between West and East, the
100-per-cent and 360-degree inability to pass judgment on any ethnicity other
than our own (except in the case of Israel)..."

Thus, an event that threatens Israeli life is not deemed important enough to discuss. Is it because the simplicity and irrefutability of the facts do not allow for this "fetishization of balance"? If they can't, simultaneously show bad Israelis, the story loses its relevance for them?
