Isabel Kershner: her services for Israeli propaganda continues
There is not a single article that appears with her name in the NYT that does not show from the first or second sentence intentions of Israeli propaganda in the whole article. Look at this sentence: "In the year since Israel launched its devastating military offensive against Hamas in Gaza." So the entire Israeli war on Gaza was directed against Hamas, according to her propaganda language. The buildings, the children, the infra structure, the civilian men and women all were Hamas, according to Kershner. As for the rest of the article, it is naked Israeli propaganda directed at the Arabs to scare them and intimidate them. It is intended to say that Israel was restrained in the last two wars--to explain its humiliation and its inability to achieve victory--and that Israel will be more savage and brutal in the next round. As if Israel held back. Unless Isabel Kershner wants reader to know that Israel plans to kill more women and children in the next war, and that it can do, but more than it has already? Notice that in this long article the other side is not ignored and disregarded while all New York Times articles dealing with Palestinians--including articles about domestic Palestinian politics--always cite and quote Israelis.
