On June 20th 2009, Neda Agha Soltan was shot dead during the post-election protests in Iran. The protests occupied the largest news segments around the world, with analysts and commentators predicting the fall of the Iranian regime and the dawn of freedom breaking in "the axis of evil."

Neda's death became an icon of the Iranian opposition and a symbol for millions of people of the injustice of the Iranian regime and the defiance of the protesters. Neda's death was put in context. It was taken from the personal realm of the death of an individual to the public realm of the just cause of a whole society.

On July 1st Marwa El Sherbini, an Egyptian researcher living in Germany, was stabbed to death 18 times inside a courtroom in the city of Dresden, in front of her 3-year-old son. She had won a verdict against a German man of Russian descent who had verbally assaulted her because of her veil. Her husband, who rushed in to save her when she was attacked in the courtroom, was shot by the police. Marwa's death was not reported by any Western news media until protests in Egypt erupted after her burial. The reporting that followed focused on the protests; the murder was presented as the act of a "lone wolf," thus depriving it of its context and its social meaning.

Such disproportionate coverage is not new.

Whenever powerful media Jews want a story suppressed (e.g., Suraideh Gharbieh and Abir Aramin), it gets buried in the back pages as the NY Times treated the mass murder of Jews during WW2 or simply ignored like the Ukrainian Holodomor, which was for the most part planned and carried out by Soviet Ashkenazim. Heaven help the author that wants to allude to the pattern of Jewish financial aggression over the last 140 years (e.g., Matt Taibbi).

If the story refuses to stay buried, racist Jews work hard to demonize the victim (e.g., Rachel Corrie) or to blame the non-Jewish readers (e.g., the Holocaust), and no one is allowed to discuss the context of Jewish misbehavior
German and English-language coverage of the murder of Marwa el-Sherbini has yet to mention the efforts of Jewish racists like Henryk Broder and Ralph Giordano to create an environment of fanatic Islamophobia in Germany:
Because Jewish-dominated media disinform on all topics related to Jews, public discussion on the most important public issues is misguided, vacuous or irrational to the point of threatening democracy in the USA and throughout the world. The situation will only worsen until the US government
  1. designates the IDF as a terrorist organization (as required by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution),
  2. begins arresting or purging Zionists, and
  3. starts seizing Zionist assets like major media corporations.
