Outraged Palestinian Journalists Refuse Strip Search During Clinton’s Visit

This is what happens when your society glorifies suicide bombers.

The outraged Palestinian journalists boycotted the press conference rather than submitting to a strip search. (Maan News)

A group of Palestinian journalists on Monday refused to attend a press conference of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Jerusalem after Israel’s internal security service demanded they be strip searched. The Palestinians are well known for strapping bombs to their bodies and blowing themselves up in crowds.
Press TV reported:

An Israeli security officer has tried to force four Palestinian journalists undress during a security check at the US Consulate in al-Quds (Jerusalem).

The four Palestinians, who intended to cover the US State Secretary Hillary Clinton’s meeting with Palestinian Authority’s Premier Salam Fayyad in al-Quds, were told by an Israeli officer to strip during an ordinary inspection.

The journalists refused the order and left the building in protest to the abuse.

“Only Palestinian reporters were told to take off their clothes,” Mohammed Abu Khadir, one of the four journalists said.

The Palestinians had been invited to the press conference by the US Consulate in al-Quds.

I’m shocked – It looks like the Israel security is PROFILING. How can this be?

I can’t think of a reason in the world why those mean old Israelis would pick on those poor innocent Palestinian members of the press. It sounds like profiling to me.

I’m sure the Israelis will trot out that tired old canard about “Not all Palestinians are suicide bombers, but most suicide bombers are Palestinians.” Don’t the Palestinians have an ACLU chapter? Don’t they have lawyers?

It’s so unfair.

Last night even Sean missed the fact that the people hurling insults and tomatoes at her in Egypt were Christians. He said they were Muslim Brotherhood. It is so much more significant that they were Christians accusing her of selling out their interests.

They shouldn’t feel slighted – in the United States, Hispanics can’t have silverware if Obama is in the room….

I’m sure Obama-lama-ding-dong will say something about this, since he loves journalists(code name for suicide bombers)

That’s because FOXNews is just as full of s&&t as the rest of the MSM.

They’re just playing a role at this point: hated “rightwing” news network.

They are anything but “rightwing”. They give Al Sharpton, the Black Charles Manson, money and a microphone, for cryin’ out loud.

“Why is there only one shoe?”

” I, uh…lost the other one a while ago.”

“mmm hmmm. and these tomatoes?”

“My lunch.”

“Aren’t tomatoes haram?”

“not if they’re being thro–I mean, being cut open so as not to display the Cross.”

“You’re gonna have to wait outside, sir.”

“press tv” is HQ’d in tehran, IRAN.

As soon as I read “al-quds” and “abuse,” I became curious as to how fair and balanced that report was.

To these clowns, killing babies is worthy of praise, but stopping it is “abuse.”

Hmmm, sounds like they are card carrying democrats. Pro-infanticide, anti-Semites, liars……yep.

Maybe things would have worked out for America if they had been allowed to stand next to Hillary…

But the result of something like that with a blown up SECSTATE would have been the wide and universal condemnation of the State of Israel for not taking proper precautions.

Song remains the same.

If Clinton wanted to meet with arabs, she should have gone to Ramalla. Israeli should move the ‘US Consulate”" to the ARABS, from Jerusalem to Ramalla.

Israel should not be the place for Clinton or ANYONE to meet with arabs.

But Israel is STUPID

btw

the “US Consulate’ in Jerusalem is only for arabs.

the US Embassy for ISraelis, is in Tel Aviv.

…and until Israel does something about it, that is where it will stay….

Al-Quds? Al-Quds? Al-Quds with “Jerusalem” in parenthesis? Who the h**l runs Press TV?

Jerusalem existed at least 1K years before Christ.

Guess whatever gives Israel a Jewish identity has to be minimized. And the Leftist world press is all too willing to help out.
