With daily reports of bombings in Iraq, and thousands that have been killed by these terrorists, what does the media imagine Israel should do about protecting its citizens from the same menace? Apparently nothing, because anything they do do, most of the media, and in particular the BBC, will be sure to demonize them. Here's an example from the BBC today, highlighted by Honest Reporting:
BBC'S NABLUS REPORT
The BBC's Matthew Price, reporting from Nablus, covers Israeli anti-terror operations, focusing on the effects on the local Palestinian population. (Click here to see the full video report.)
Price, however, fails to mention the Israeli discovery of four Palestinian explosives labs filled with pipe bombs, gas balloons, explosives, computers and electrical wires as well as a "terror studio," which was used by terrorist groups to film suicide bombers' last remarks before being dispatched to their targets.
To compound this, Price finishes his report, referring to the IDF with the sentence: "They say they're protecting Israel, while here, on the land Israel has occupied for nearly 40 years, a whole city is suffering."
