So-called "liberal" press in Israel: the case of Haaretz. The patriotism of the Zionist press requires that Israeli newspapers always provide justifications and rationalizations for Israeli wars, invasions, conquest, and weapons' acquisitions. Here, there is a story of a testing of an Israeli missile (but Israeli press calls Israeli missiles "anti-missile systems", this is like me calling a gun "an anti-intruder system"). But also notice that the story of the test of the missile is only mentioned after a report of a Russian arms sale to Iran.
