MSM: Only One Side Mourns
Here is one of the few pictures on the wire services about the funeral of 73-year old Lyubov Razdolskaya, victim of yesterday’s terror attack:
Israelis stand near the grave of Lyubov Razdolskaya, 73, killed in a suicide attack in Dimona Monday, after her funeral in the southern Israeli town of Beer Sheva, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008.
Meanwhile, I see dozens of pictures of Palestinian Arabs mourning – not mourning innocent victims of attacks, but mourning terrorists killed by Israel:
The Israeli mourners are seen from a distance, dispassionately, disinterestedly.
The Palestinian Arab mourners, on the other hand, are shown close up, as individuals who have gone through a tragedy.
And there are dozens of photos of Arab mourners, but only a handful of pictures from the Dimona funeral.
To the wire services, only one side is deserving of sympathy – the side that mourns and supports terrorists.

well, we knew the media is mainly proterrorist
at least we have internet http://www.all4israel.org
Media bias is nothing new.
But there is another issue here:
Lyubov Razdolskaya’s relatives requested that her funeral not be filmed. Only a picture of the wreaths were shown on Israeli TV.
So actually, that faraway picture is beneficial in that it doesn’t invade the mourners’ privacy.
I’m not lauding pro-terrorist media – just pointing out an additional coverage factor.
of course, i saw an article published on one site i am on, showing the israeli attack on hamas, stateing that eight hamas terrorists were killed and the person posting stated “Israel still killing”
i posted no Israel still defending her self from terrorists.
this is were i work, correcting these statements about israel.
maybe i can’t change any minds, but some will see it and think i pray.
it is an up hill battle for israel. in the media that is.
