... They have been caught mistranslating statements numerous times, see above links.....
Strange but according to the wiki you linked...

The accuracy of MEMRI's translations are considered "usually accurate though occasionally disputed and highly selective in what it chooses to translate and in which context it puts things,

As for selectivity, yes they only quote high level Palestinians when they make nasty statements. That means that some high level Palestinians make nasty statements. Of course you would never criticize those statements, only MEMRI for daring to publicize them.

I'm sure the major media will find you very convincing.

To help get you started, here's the contact information for The Situation Room: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/show/?s=situationroom&hdln=2

Let us know how you make out.

You flatter yourself.
Nobody cares what you think.
Racists like you, who use dishonest arguing techniques, are a dime a dozen.
But feel free to try to get on the show to correct the record.

I'm a racist, I'll be happy to appear and to set the record straight.


Are you still supporting the use of quotes taken out of context?

"Correct the record"?

Actually, Wolf Blitzer said Osama Hamdan's comments were an "awful, awful smear."

I see no need to "correct" that. I agree with Blitzer, and would add that Hamdan's comments confirmed that Hamas is driven by a pathological hatred of Jews.

Ok, if you're still fine with ignoring the context with quotes.
So, now you're saying Hamdan was lying when he said his remarks were a response to a question about Israeli MP Moshe Feiglin's comments.

Interesting.

No, I haven't accused him of lying. I'm sure that the quote came up somewhere in a response to a question about the establishment of concentration camps in Israel, as promoted by a member of the Israeli government. Just as this quote of yours came up in a conversation about racism, annexing Gaza and the establishment of concentration camps.

If that's the case, that does nothing to change the fact that Hamdan's remarks were promoting hatred of the Jews for being Jewish.

Thus endeth the conspiracy theory about the "context."

That's easy, no media has released anything other then the 12 second, MEMRI edited clip..
That isn't proof CNN didn't fact check it.
There is no sign that anyone received anything other one out of context quote.
That isn't proof CNN didn't fact check it.
You continue to use a quote the author says was taken out of context by known propagandists, MEMRI.
That isn't proof CNN didn't fact check it.

And CNN is far more believable than Hamdan.

Meanwhile CNN confirmed the Hamdan quote and all the ridiculous jibber jabber here from the clown brothers won't change that.

It ends by agreeing that you are a racist, who is promoting misquotes and concentration camps.
So now that we're agreed that the context was clear, you've gone back to claiming that CNN misquoted him.

Pathetic.

Claiming that knowing what the conversation was about is the same as knowing what the exact context of a particular sentence or statement was within that are two distinctly different things.
Just as we know that you were talking about your support for concentration camps when you stated this.

Groggy, considering you have given NO REASON TO BELIEVE there is any problem with the context the fact that CNN confirmed it and Hamdan described a context leaves you without ANYTHING to debate.

Just pathetic clown dancing by you trying to evade the facts you didn't like.

Now, you're engaging in meaningless games of semantics.

You say that you accept Hamdan's claim that he was responding to MP Moshe Feiglin's comments.

If that is the case, it makes no difference to this discussion whether he was asked "how do you feel about Feiglin's comments?" or "What's your reaction to Feiglin's comments?"

Regardless of the exact wording of the question, Hamdan's response was clearly promoting hatred of the Jews for being Jewish.

I would remind you that have produced absolutely nothing in terms of evidence to support your assertion that Hamdan was taken "out of context." Your baseless assertion continues to be nothing more than a fairy tale.

Ok, tell you what.
If you agree that moviefan is a racist and that you think Feiglin's plan for annexing Gaza includes concentration camps then we can also agree that the Hamdan quote is fair.
They are all of the same ilk.
