Palestinians Loot Israel Border Crossing

Yesterday we posted that very revealing photo of Palestinians running from Gaza into Israel; unsurprisingly, media have been either ignoring or downplaying the story, as Newsbusters notes. It doesn’t fit the template to report Palestinians seeking sanctuary in Israel.

Today the Palestinians are back at the Erez border crossing, but this time they’re not fleeing.

They’re looting.

Expect this to get even less media attention.
