I watched this report from 60 Minutes on CBS, and I expected a fair and well-rounded news story, but to my surprise I found an anti-Israel smear piece instead. For example, the reporter Bob Simon asserts that Israel has a few options to choose from including ethnic cleansing and “apartheid.” He describes Israel as dominating the lowlands like “Crusaders,” (sounding like an al Qaeda spokesman, and didn’t the Crusaders slaughter the Jews as well as Muslims?), and he claims Jews get more water than Palestinians — all of these statements are outrageous and refutable. The language and terms used are not objective at all; in fact, they are merely the tendentious talking points of extremists and anti-Zionists. They are composed of negative propaganda including anti-Israel slogans and libelous myths that vilify the Jewish state.
