The amount of anti-Israel propaganda being churned out by mainstream media as Israel celebrates her 60th anniversary is absolutely appalling. There is one story after another on the wires about how much the Palestinians suffered when Israel was born, and not a single one of them provides the necessary context — that the surrounding Arab states launched a war in 1948 with the expressly stated purpose of killing every Jew in Israel and destroying the new state.

Here’s one of several such articles at the Christian Science Monitor, in an article commiserating with an Arab who whines bitterly that his Syrian training didn’t allow him to wipe out the Jews: An Arab veteran of 1948 recalls Palestinian ‘catastrophe’.

There’s something seriously wrong with our mainstream media.
