CNN Distorts the Recent Violence in Israel
(CAMERA) David Litman - A CNN article on Sept. 20 titled "Six Palestinians Killed by Israeli Military" fails to mention that the Palestinians were members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both U.S.-designated terrorist organizations. The authors reference a "video [which] appeared to show a mosque minaret in the camp taking direct fire." They omit that the same video clearly shows a firebomb being thrown from the minaret. The article then goes on to describe those Palestinians who "throw explosive devices" and "shoot weapons" at the Gaza-Israel border as "demonstrators" engaged in a "protest."
