Geller Back in Israel National News


Well, Pamela Geller is now posting that she has yet another article in Israel National News. I've been told here that this rag is one of the farthest right one can get. I must admit though that writing of the torture and murder of Ilan Halimi is (though a bit out-dated) a good subject, though Pammycakes is treating the recent press of the trial as a "cover-up":

The abduction and murder in Paris of a young Jewish man by a gang of Muslim immigrants calling themselves the Barbarians shocked the whole of France in 2006. But now that the accused are on trial - silence.

A French judge has ordered the latest issue of the magazine Choc ("shock") removed from the shelves. The cover showed a man with duct tape completely covering his head, except for a small opening around his nostrils. His
Recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background.
nose is bloody. His hands are also bound with duct tape.

It was a photo of Ilan Halimi, the 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by the Barbarians. His captors took the picture and sent it to his family. A lawyer for Halimi's family had complained about the magazine, but Choc's editor-in-chief Paul Payan responded: "Of course, we understand the anguish of the parents and, of course, we share their anguish.... But what's so harrowing is not the publication of this photo. What's harrowing is what it represents, what happened, the reality behind it."


It really is a shame if there is nothing getting out about Halimi's murder, but as we all know, the harder one tries to cover something up the more it gets out there, and not just through the Israel National News. While promoting the truth about Halimi is a good thing, I can't help but seeing in this AS post a bit more of self-promotion--go figure.
