The San Francisco Chronicle is, by US standards, the most liberal big-city newspaper in US. It even occasionally carries pieces critical of Israel. But it still is an American newspaper containing the fundamental biases of US media against the Palestinians. This is from an obituary piece about a CBS newsperson. This is how the SF Chronicle characterizes the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, from which I barely survived. Israel advanced with its army INTO Lebanon, and the invasion killed some 20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese: "the PLO and Syria (war) against Israel in 1982."
