Jonathan Schanzer: US Media Coverage on Israel Is ‘Insane’ | Top Story, Ep. 27

Author and Middle East analyst Jonathan Schanzer joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin to discuss his new book “Gaza Conflict 2021: Hamas, Israel and Eleven Days of War.”

The two discuss how the myths about the conflict spread by Palestinian terror groups and picked up by the media have impacted opinion about Israel.

They also talk about how the conflict between Fatah and Hamas, and their opposition to peace with the Jewish state, is ignored by critics of Israel.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.

“I used to worry because they were black Jews, and I was more concerned that they were black,” Andrea Martin told JNS of her sons. “I never thought when I sent my kids away to college that Max would have to worry about hot coffee being poured on him in a library.”
