Does Israel's Media Want Jewish Blood on Its Hands?

This list of Israeli victims of terrorism includes only the last two years of Palestinian Jihad. And I didn't mention all the Jewish toddlers stoned while travelling in their cars. I didn't list the buses that were nearly blown up either and that happened just last week.

But despite all this evidence, the Israeli media daily runs articles saying that this is not an Intifada, that Israel has a "partner" and that the Arabs are not interested in spilling Jewish blood.

The very opposite is true: that this is an ongoing pogrom,  Israel has only enemies, the terrorists from the areas controlled by the "moderate" PA are statistically more lethal to Jews than those from Hamas areas, but in general Palestinian Arab terrorists still love to smash the faces of Jewish children.

The complacent Israeli media, which downplays the threat of Arab-Islamic hatred, is going to have Jewish blood on its hands.

The only Israeli photographer to win the Pulitzer Prize, Oded Balilty of The Associated Press, got the award for his image of a Jewish young woman defying the Israeli security forces during the desruction of the Amona outpost in Samaria. That photo was a double whammy, it fabricated the image of the “settlers” as Jewish colonialists and the IDF as attackers of helpless women.

There are many who see the Haaretz newspaper is the symbol of the Israeli appeasement to terrorism. But the entire mainstream Israeli media establishment is infected with this malady of Jewish self hatred, appeasement, indolence, self-righteous expertism, cynicism and self-deprecation.

For those exemplars of the Israeli media, Arab killers and Jewish victims are jumbled together as components of a cycle of violence.

The Israeli media, which forges zeitgeist and orchestrates political crusades like that of the former Shin Bet heads, accepts the killing of Jewish lives without any significant resistance. And the Israeli media propagates the false prophesies on the need and duty of "disengagement", another name for Jewish self destruction.

I will not forget that the killers of Ido Zoltan in Samaria were members of Mahmoud Abbas's police force. They employed weapons authorized by the Israeli government, but that weapons handover was first blessed by the Israeli mainstream media.
