Washington Post Follows the Hamas Script
Israel moves into Gaza in self-defense after rains of rockets.
And surprise, surprise. On cue, the Washington Post delivers a front-page story about a Gaza family that has lost five daughters in an Israeli air strike on a neighboring mosque the paper admitted was “controlled by Hamas.”
The story notes, of course, that mosques “serve as key venues for winning popular support.” Nothing about the possibility that, as frequently is the case in the Islamic playbook, they could be used to store weapons.
It rehearses the usual protests against Israel from Amnesty International and the United Nations about and the “horrific death toll” and the “overwhelming means of force … in such a tight and densely populated part of the world.” Nothing about Hamas’s nasty little habit of using civilian populations as human shields, as underscored by Hot Air.
And, of course, the coverage offers heart-rending descriptions of the scene in which the five girls died. It doesn’t bother to mention that the conflict was precipitated by Hamas’s breaking of a cease-fire with a friendly special delivery of 80 rockets and mortars in a single day … and a threat of escalation.
Hey, it’s not like the Israeli leaders executing these attacks are right-wing fanatics. The Israeli prime minister committing himself to “breaking the will” of Hamas is Ehud Olmert, who was one of the architects of the Gaza pullout in the first place.
The foreign minister declaring “enough is enough” is Tzipi Livni,recently described by the Associated Press as the “pro-peace candidate” in upcoming elections.
And the Israeli defense minister promising “war to the bitter end” is none other than Ehud Barak, who as prime minister essentially offered the keys to the entire West Bank to Yasser Arafat.
The whole world — including the Washington Post — knows that Israel has to do what it has to do to protect its people. That doesn’t mean that the Post, the BBC, the New York Times and others will make it easy for them.
