Here’s an Agence France Presse release that has to be the most outrageous example of mainstream media anti-Israel bias I have seen for, oh, the last few days: Concerned citizen hacks Israeli army’s ‘rocket hotline’. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

JERUSALEM (AFP) - A concerned Israeli has thwarted the army’s latest anti-militant initiative by hacking its ‘rocket hotline’ set up so that Palestinians in Gaza can rat on those firing projectiles at Israel, the Yediot Aharonot daily reported.

Following a week of multiple Israeli air strikes targeting rocket-firing militants in northern Gaza, the air force tried a new tactic: dropping leaflets encouraging locals to anonymously snitch on any rocket-toting militants.
