Quick ! Read This Before Reuters "Corrects" It...........from Dan Friedman

This story is notable only because Reuters and most other Western media set such a low standard for honesty in their reporting of news about Israel and the Middle East. One sentence in particular stands out: ... Hamas, whose diehard hostility to Israel has deepened the isolation and poverty of Gaza, home to 1.5 million Palestinians. Strange, but that is where they normally slug in the boilerplate, “Israeli hostility has deepened the isolation and poverty of Gaza, home to 1.5 million Palestinians.” The story also hints at the disquieting possibility of an even more radical group than Hamas gaining strength in Gaza. Left to our imagination, though, is how that development means yet another nail in the coffin of the “peace process.” Just when they thought they koshered the Hamas pig, along comes another fat porker who needs a hechsher. Anyhow, I suggest you read this story now, before Reuter’s London editors realize their mistakes and get back on message. df
