Sadly, we’ve come to expect this crap from Amanpour.
Via Truth Revolt:
CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour was part of the team sent by the network to cover the memorial honoring Nelson Mandela in South Africa on Tuesday.
At one point Ms. Amanpour, a longtime critic of Israel, said, “I honestly can’t help but think right now about Israel and the Palestinians…”
Amanpour was interrupted with a question asking why the Israeli Prime Minster wasn’t attending the memorial and she explained that the Israeli President, who is the official head of state, was there. She went back to her strange comparison:
Nonetheless, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is under so much pressure these days and probably feels to a great extent his country is isolated in the same way that apartheid South Africa was isolated. But this is how you get over those intractable conflicts, by understanding the story of the other, by having a political process of resolution that is not just about domination or zero sum game. Mandela knew there was no Africa for the blacks if it meant Africa without the whites. It was not possible.
