Giulio Meotti
The writer, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a twice-weekly column for Arutz Sheva. He is the author of the book "A New Shoah", that researched the personal stories of Israel's terror victims, published by Encounter and of "J'Accuse: the Vatican Against Israel" published by Mantua Books.. His writing has appeared in publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frontpage and Commentary.Ynet Radio (Hebrew): "Alleged stabbing In the settlement of Mishor Adumim..."
Ynet: "Maaleh Adumim is an East Jerusalem settlement".
The Jerusalem Post: "Stabbing in the West Bank".
Israel is under grave threat. Not only from without but from within.
The Israeli media create confusion in the mind of foreign public opinion, as if there was an invisible line which divides between legitimate and illegitimate terror attacks. Obama just dribbles for their reports.
The Israeli media have sheltered Mahmoud Abbas' anti-Semitic rhetoric for years, by refusing to report on his incitement about Jerusalem. They are desperate not to lose their own Arab.
The Israeli media sponsored any kind of suicidal gesture, from the Shalit's deal to the release of terrorists' bodies. But above all, the media sanctified a new partition of the land of Israel.
It is hard to be an Israeli journalist. But this is not an excuse to be a stupid and malevolent ignoramus who sells his people to the enemy.
The Israeli media daily obfuscates the reality in which Israel lives, by creating "normality" on the coast and by delivering the other parts of Israeli society to the grey realm of bitterness and amorality. The Israeli media never goes against the rest of the world when this cannibalizes the Jews; no, it desperately wants to be part of the global élite and to be accepted as a Jew "with perfume".
The Israeli media always cries against the "disproportionate" use of force, as if Jews are superior moral beings. And it doesn't matter if they already got Auschwitz because of this "superiority".
And I fear there is a deeper, darker explanation for this phenomenon: the mainstream journalists and the oligarchs who control the Israeli media have never been targeted by terror. Only ordinary Jews have been killed in attacks, people who take the bus or have to ask for a ride because they don't have a car.
