Media Bias Against Israel

Hamas terror operatives in Gaza tunnel (The Jerusalem Post)

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Last night, CBS Evening News ran a story about parkour, which it described as "an extreme sport blending gymnastics with agility training developed for a military obstacle course." The parkour championships were held in Las Vegas last week, but CBS wasn't reporting on the championships.

Instead, it was reporting from Gaza about how the Palestinian parkour team was unable to compete in Las Vegas. The broadcast looked like a propaganda piece produced by Hamas.

At one point the reporter directs the young Palestinian men toward an Israeli watchtower and asks, "What do you want them to think when they see you jumping and running?" One of the men, Hamza, answers, "No matter how much they destroy or kill, I will still dance and have fun."

Once again, the American mainstream media presents Israel as the aggressor and the Palestinians as hapless victims. But the truth is the exact opposite.

Earlier this week, Israel suspended shipments of cement to Gaza because Hamas was diverting building materials from reconstruction projects. What is Hamas doing? It is building terror tunnels instead of homes and hospitals.

Israel Radio reported yesterday that Hamas has more than 1,000 operatives digging tunnels. These are not archaeological expeditions. These tunnels are meant to literally undermine the security of Israel so that Palestinian terrorists can emerge from the ground and slaughter innocent Israelis.

Why isn't CBS reporting that news?
