MSM Ignores Israeli Relief Efforts
Filed Under: World
An excellent piece from Honest Reporting.
When disaster strikes anywhere in the world, Israelis can be counted on to help. So it’s no surprise that within hours of the devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean, the following humanitarian missions all departed from the tiny Jewish state:
- The Israeli organization Latet (’To Give’) filled a jumbo jet with 18 tons of supplies.
- A medical team headed by four doctors from Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital arrived in Sri Lanka on Monday night (Dec. 27), carrying medicine and baby food. The doctors specialize in rescue operations, trauma and pediatrics.
- An IDF rescue team is now on its way to Sri Lanka with 80 tons of aid material, including 10,000 blankets, tents, nylon sheeting and water containers, all contributed by the IDF.
There is much more listed in the article. But as the story points out, all of the things Israel is doing to help out is being ignored by the MSM with a few exceptions.
So what did the Associated Press send out today to its 15,000 subscribing news agencies? A dreary story about the construction of a new IDF base near Jenin. AP sarcastically remarked in this ‘news’ story that the base’s ‘elaborate color scheme and landscaping shows that the army is not planning to pull its forces out of the area anytime soon.’
They’re not affiliated with al-Jazeera are they?
