Yesterday the Huffington Post published
a new article about Hamas, their first in quite a while:
Remember now that the last time the Huffington Post published a "Hamas speaks" article, it was
when they said they would respect a referendum on a peace deal. Now contrast this with articles the Huffington Post does not publish about Hamas: When a rocket
hits near Ashkelon, when
Hamas abuses children, and
when they declared they would never recognize Israel.
Update: According to
this Ynet article, more than 30 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israel from Gaza in the last week alone, and Israel has responded in turn. And yet the only news from there we get on the Huffington Post is Hamas saying they are committed to a cease fire? What a joke.
What is also interesting is that on the same day as Hamas declared this, they also said that "
Israel has two choices: Death or leaving Palestinian lands." This did not make it to the Huffington Post, however.
It has now become clear that the Huffington Post is choosing only to publish articles that make Hamas appear to be peaceful or moderate, while covering up articles that undermine that image. At least,
as much as they reasonably could. I don't know why the Huffington Post would be biased like this, but the facts speak for themselves.
Yup. That's like saying the Nazis weren't all anti-Semitic since they had their moderates too, after all.
ReplyDeleteJust who is HP kidding?
Thanks, as always, for such posts. They remind me that, when it come to advancing narratives suggesting a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel, HP truly is as bad as the Guardian.
ReplyDeleteSo typical of this extreme leftist agitprop website HP. Any story that they can demonize Israel while sensationalizing the "victimhood" of the Palestinians is all they care about in the I/P section. What's next title going to be. Hmm let see, maybe "Palestinian camel goes on a rampage killing many Gazans, Israel suspected of voodoo and animal mind control" or maybe "Hamas beg Israel for two state solution without any conditions, but Israel attacks them instead, without provocation" It's a never ending story of demonize Israel, sensationalize Palestinian victimhood. That's there formula and there sticking to it. Just vexing. Their Christmas time op-ed articles are predictable already.
