This article by the BBC is clearly biased against Israel. Can you find the smoking gun?

Channeling Neville Chamberlain

September 30, 1938 Neville Chamberlain addressed the crowds at Heston Aerodrome with what is known as his "Peace in our Time" speech. Waving the Munich agreement he had signed with Hitler in which the Furor gave his word that he would not war with Britain, Chamberlain intoned:   "…This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you (Reads the agreement). We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again."

American Welfare State

"The government has continually expanded the value of benefits such as the earned income tax credit to the point where you get a check from Uncle Sam even if you paid no taxes during the year. That's what made it so laughable when the administration claimed it was cutting taxes for most Americans when nearly 40% pay no taxes to start with. These are in essence welfare checks."

FDR Prolonged the Depression

The advent of the internet has given Truth an avenue broad and expeditious.

Within hours we are able to review the differing political opinions of both left and right and draw thoughtful, personal conclusions. What a blessing it is to have the clarity of free and open debate on such a grand scale. How better to distill truth than to have access to everyone's opinion; weigh objectivity, appraise rationality, atomize substance, assess relevance, and compare those opinions with raw data.

Why only now, nearly seven decades hence, are we, as a general public, gaining access to information dispelling the myth of the New Deal as the salvager of the depression era? Only now because we are able to bypass academia and the progressive episteme of the Keynesian epoch which says that government is the answer to the human condition.

"Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt."
