Tired of the anti-Israel media bias

Here, go read this Ynet article, which says all of the things I usually say about the worldwide media.

WASHINGTON – Qassam attacks on Sderot have received very little coverage in world media, despite the heavy barrages that have been going on for the past three days.

Only when Israel began to respond to the attacks by aerial bombings, cannons and tanks did this part of the world receive attention from the American media.

Except they get quotes from producers with lame explanations.

American networks have also been reporting on the internal Gaza clashes, while only mentioning the Qassam attacks in passing.

Israel’s complaints to the United Nations Security Council were simply not reported.

[…] An American television producer explained to Ynet, that as sad as it may sound, Sderot is a story that has been going on for years, and is no longer news.

The producer added that there are very few injuries in Sderot, and images of shock victims do not sell.

And the Europeans.

In Europe the issue also received very little coverage, especially compared to the factional fighting that has been going on in the Gaza Strip between.

The Europeans claim the reason for this is that most of the airtime in the past few days has been dedicated to the change of leadership in France, and the little airtime left was set aside for the difficult images from Gaza, and not Sderot.

Whereas I simply blame the anti-Israel bias of the world media.

Israeli Airstrikes Kill 10 in Gaza
Israel pounded more Hamas targets with airstrikes, killing 10 people and wounding dozens as it stepped deeper into fighting between the Islamic militants and the rival Fatah fighters of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

The latest attack came early Friday morning as Israeli aircraft fired missiles east of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians, at least three of them Hamas militants, and wounding six people, Hamas and Palestinian doctors said. There was no immediate Israeli comment. Two other strikes followed but there was no word of any casualties, the doctors said.

The strikes, a series of Israeli attacks Thursday, and the reported movement of a handful of tanks a few hundred yards into the northern Gaza Strip, followed days of Hamas rocket barrages into Israel.

Street fighting between the Palestinian factions that has gripped Gaza since the weekend calmed under a truce agreement, but clashes still killed at least four people a day after 22 died in the worst battles during a year of factional bloodshed.

How is it, again, that the headline for that AP piece isn’t “Israel Airstrikes Kill 10 in Gaza; Palestinian Infighting Kills 22”? Or “22 Palestinians Killed in Worst Factional Fighting of Year”?

Oh, that’s right. They weren’t killed by Jews.

    In Seattle, the article about the rocket attacks and Israel’s retaliation started this way: “For every crude Qassam rocket falling harmlessly, far from its target…”
