happen to catch a Cable news show reporting a Pal story about an Israel attack on Gaza If it's the one I heard yesterday, the reporting went like this 1. Hamas honcho died from an explosion in his house 2. Pals accused Israel of shooting a missile [end of BBC story][cont. in Israeli press] 3. IDF says they were nowhere near the area and they didn't fire a missile; honcho died from a "work accident" 4. Reporters say the explosion was small and the house, a one-story concrete affair, was only partly destroyed with no sign of a missile entry. Very typical reporting all around. When the IDF is responsible, they almost always admit it. The worst bias against Israel, one that runs through American as well as European reporting, is to lend equal credence to both sides as if none of us could remember that one side lies every time it sees political opportunity on the side of the lie. And it isn't the Israeli side. Has anybody ever heard any Pal spokesman say, we made a mistake?
