“Only 620 of the rockets launched [by Palestinian Islamic Jihad] made it into Israeli territory” (emphasis added) is the strange way The Washington Post depicted the hailstorm of rockets on Israel from Gaza. Would The Washington Post portray the bombardment of America by 620 rockets from a genocidal enemy as “only 620 rockets”? In “Israel kills 2 more militant leaders as Gaza fight rages on” (printed version title May 12, 2023), The Washington Post invents a title that portrays Israel as the aggressor, missing the cause of the fighting, which was the rocket fire from Gaza against Israeli civilians. The article even admits that “one rocket fell on the roof of a kindergarten in the Eshkol region; another hit an empty playground.” The Palestinians are wantonly attacking children, yet the Post downplays the rocket attack to incriminate Israel’s response.
