To say that Bowman’s views on Israel did not reflect those of his constituents would be an understatement.
Such journalistic “framing” avoids examining hostility to the Jewish state as a gateway to renewed hatred of the Jewish people.
When they’re not getting a press pass, anti-Semites are getting coddled.
A picture, the saying goes, is worth a thousand words. And this particular picture is worth more than the thousands of words and images that the paper has produced in its pathetic “reporting” on UNRWA.
Readers should welcome the newspaper’s sudden, if belated, attention to the draconian measures employed by Palestinian leaders against their own people.
The paper, it seems, has its narrative. And it isn’t going to let facts get in its way.
Those watching the HBO film are presented with superficial history and images, with much of the real story left on the cutting-room floor.
Details are missing in the magazine’s Aug. 9 dispatch (“For Trump and Co., Few Palestinians Count as Refugees”), which omits UNRWA employees praising Hitler and Hamas, and calling to murder Jews.
Many Western media outlets ignore stories that depict either Israeli suffering or Palestinian independent agency, preferring instead narrative-based reporting that depicts the former as aggressors and the latter as perennial victims.
