AFP is at it Again: Standing up For Those Arab Rights

Why do all the best news topics come out when I'm about to log off?
Anyway, AFP reports on how Arabs aren't getting preferential treatment.
The report, posted online at www.acri.org.il, said police rarely investigate incidents in which Jewish settlers harass or assault Palestinians[Arabs] and that when they do they frequently blame the victims of such attacks.
Maybe because they have evidence showing that the Arabs instigated it and lay the blame on the victim, hmm.?You know, like this case?

Among several cases the group documented is that of Ahmad Qaraen, who was crippled after being shot in both legs by an off-duty Israeli soldier after intervening in a confrontation between the soldier and his sons last September.
The soldier also shot a 15-year-old boy in the leg during the incident, but was detained for just 24 hours after telling Israeli police that he shot Qaraen in self-defence after the Arab tried to steal his M-16 assault rifle
I love how they can report as fact the Arab side, and practically disregard the Israeli Officer's side.
And of course, the article had to throw this part in:
Israel occupied east Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it to its capital in a move not recognised by the international community.
 Every single article that tries to discredit the Jewish presence in Israel, since the Arabs claim for Jerusalem actually received credence, (Just about every single one, I think) mentions this "fact." A "fact" that became "fact" as recently as these past few years. Until then, every single newspaper recognized Jerusalem as completely Israeli, though the Arabs did claim it during that time.
Well, until next time, (tomorrow most likely) Finding Pro-Arab Media Bias is signing off.
