    nine year old beaten by jordanian police

    Yup. You read that right.

    Jordanian police beat a nine year old for attending a soccer game. Oh wait, there's a bit more to it than that. The nine year old was a Palestinian and the team he went to see play was the Palestinian team.

    I tried to find an international news story on this, having only seen a single photo on another site but oddly enough there doesn't seem to be any coverage of this abuse of a child. Makes you wonder what's not being covered doesn't it?

    Maybe some self righteous troll, feeling that their cause was important enough to bend the facts for showed a photo that was completely out of context and claimed that's what it was, even though it wasn't. And that's why it's not being covered.

    Shit like that happens all the time on the internet.

    You don't have any links at all? Not even where you saw the story?

    What are we supposed to discuss?

    Just to show you how easy it is:

    Vice President Joe Biden orders nuking of 2 year old because his parents voted republican in the last election.


    EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention, these photos are banned from the internet. Because that makes it more legit.

    Actually given the fact that any attempt to even do a basic Google or bing search on the story only brought up hits about Israel that were years old, and likely debunked, it's more likely that people just aren't covering it. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the media doesn't cover stories that negatively impact the Palestinians unless it's to blame Israel for it. How many stories were there tearing into Egypt for the wall that they built to separate themselves from the Palestinians? How often do Egypt and Jordan get raked through the coals for not allowing any of them to return to their original homelands if they wanted to?

    Now a nine year old gets beaten til his eyes are blood red and the media is stone silent because it doesn't fit their sick narrative. A nine year old. This story should be news, but because it's Jordan it's not for some reason and I have to wonder why.

    Your post isn't entitled: "Do you sympathize with Palestinian refugees in Jordan"

    Your post is about some unverified news story that anybody could have made up through the methods I mentioned.

    The fact that you just made the story up helps

    The BBC is always doing stories that piss off the Palestinians, as do a lot of media.

    There is a more logical reason why you can't find any news agencies that covered the story than your somewhat paranoid notion that they are all in on some pro-Palestinian conspiracy...

    Try doing a google search for "2 year old nuked in Hawaii by Joe Biden" to confirm my story.

    The google spidering bots are working pretty slowly tonight, otherwise it would have worked. But if you search for the original headline I made up, it's now the top google search result. News story confirmed.

    Why the fuck are the media not covering this?

    Now a two year old gets nuked til his eyes are blood red and the media is stone silent because it doesn't fit their sick narrative. A two year old. This story should be news, but because it's Biden it's not for some reason and I have to wonder why.

    Wait, you got it from a forum post somewhere?

    You know what? Screw it. I tried for the better part of an hour to find the story, but there is zero coverage of it. I didn't make it up because I don't make a habit of lying as it's against my ethics and morals. Say what you will about me but know that I for damn sure say what I mean, and mean what I say. So since no one can actually talk like a civilized human being and they started acting like a bunch of trolls how about the mods just lock this before it goes further south?
