However, the prime minister had to make it look like something was being done, in light of the fires that keep raging in Israeli border communities. The media and right-wing critics have already pushed Netanyahu into a military operation he didn’t want in the Gaza Strip, twice: Operation Pillar of Defense (2012) and Operation Protective Edge (2014). This time, he looked better prepared to stand firm in the breach, but not to take responsibility.

NPR verdreht die Tötung von 17 Palästinensern nach dem Drehbuch der israelischen Armee
Wie FAIR im Laufe der Jahre festgestellt hat (z.B. 8/14/01, 11/01, 2/5/02, 11/15/12, 10/10/14), vertritt NPR (National Public Radio – der US „Kultursender“) bei der Berichterstattung über die Angelegenheiten von Israel/Palästina standardmäßig eine pro-israelische Linie. Seine Korrespondenten leben fast immer in Westjerusalem oder in Israel selbst, sind selten Palästinenser oder Araber, und sie arbeiten konsequent daran, die Schuld für israelische Gewalt abzulenken – entweder indem sie die Schuld auf palästinensische Opfer abwälzen oder sie durch falsche Parität zerstreuen.
