When attacks occurred in Paris and Belgium the world mourned
the loss of so many. The media covered
those horrific occurrences and acknowledged that they were terrorist attacks.
Yesterday, June 8, 2016, an attack occurred in Tel Aviv at the Sarona
Market and although broadcast media covered it, the Lincoln Journal Star
managed to give it only 12 full lines of coverage on page A10 in a section
called “At a Glance.” As disconcerting as
the placement of the article was, the headline given to it was also misleading. It said, “Gunmen Kill Four at Tel Aviv Market.”
Frankly, if you’re looking for honest reporting, the article should have said,
“Four Israelis were killed and 16 were wounded in a terror attack in Tel Aviv
on Wednesday night, when two Palestinian gunmen went on a shooting rampage in a
popular marketplace located across the street from military headquarters.” (http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.724018) When the terms “terror attack” and “Palestinian
gunmen” are eliminated from an article as reported in the Journal Star it leads
me to believe that somehow the world excuses the killing of Israelis and does
not rebuke Palestinian terrorists who kill civilians and innocents in the
streets.
