Relentless Anti-Israel Propaganda from Reuters

Reuters can’t even stop churning out anti-Israel propaganda on Israel’s 60th birthday, with a stunningly dishonest account of the Arab war on Israel: Turning 60, Israelis feel pride, Palestinians pain.

For Shamali, it is time to mourn the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when 700,000 Palestinians, his own family among them, fled in fear of Jewish attacks as violence mounted. ...

As violence on both sides killed thousands in the months after a U.N. decision in 1947 to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the Shamali family and their neighbors crammed into a truck bound further down the Mediterranean coast to Gaza, outside the zone designated to Jewish control.

“Violence on both sides?” This is utterly insane. The surrounding Arab states launched a war with genocidal intent against the newly declared state of Israel—there would have been no violence without the Arab war! But in Reuters’ twisted world, Israel is equally to blame.

Equally to blame, just for existing.

Disgusting. Reprehensible. Par for the course. They’re getting more bold and more open about it every day.
