What A Piece Of Work! The Guardian’s sinister mistranslation of Abbas’s words regarding the Shalit deal
The sometimes quite unscrupulous anti-Israel reportage of the leftist-“intellectual” British newspaper The Guardian is, of course, notorious, and not only to Israel’s friends in the UK. Sydney lawyer David Singer, a founder member of the International Analysts Network, has drawn attention to a recent instance in the following article via the antipodean J-Wire service. It’s entitled “Palestine – Abbas Gets Lost In The Translation”
Writes David Singer:
‘PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been often criticised for making statements in English that are contradicted by other statements made by him in Arabic. Abbas has continued this art of doublespeak first perfected by his predecessor Yasser Arafat – tailoring his views to the audience that he is addressing.
