The devastating Hamas weapon of war
by Melanie Phillips:
The BBC and other western media outlets are far more than mere useful idiots.
Hamas, the genocidal jihadi force responsible for the barbaric October 7 pogrom in Israel, has a devastating weapon of war. That weapon is the western media.
With some honourable exceptions, these media outlets have been doing Hamas’s filthy work for it. Despite the terror group’s record of lying through its teeth, the media accepts what it says at face value while casting doubt on everything said by the habitually truthful Israelis.
On November 8, Christiane Amanpour said on CNN that “over 4,300 children have been killed” during Israel’s military operations in Gaza. She admitted that this figure was “according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah”. But the numbers were, in fact, issued by the ministry’s Gaza branch, which is run by Hamas. Like countless other journalists, Amanpour failed to note that Hamas never acknowledged a single terrorist among these fatalities, and that the designation “children” includes its many teenage terrorists.
These media outlets never give up on their determination to paint Israel falsely as a mendacious and bloodthirsty aggressor.
