Media Obscure Palestinian Terror & Culpability
Thumbs Up to Charles Radin and Dan Ephron
THUMBS UP to the Boston Globe's Charles Radin Jerusalem bureau chief, and Globe reporter Dan Ephron for their April 29 article entitled "Claims of massacre go unsupported by Palestinian fighters," which represents an unusual effort to get beyond the "he said/she said" counter-allegations concerning Israel's actions in Jenin. Rather than simply reporting the competing claims of officials on each side, Radin spoke with Palestinian fighters and others on the scene to get their version of events.

Thumbs Up to Jeff Jacoby
THUMBS UP to Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby for fearless, factual commentary on important topics ignored by many journalists, such as the dangerous phenomenon of Arab anti-Semitism. Jacoby observes that the lack of media focus on the issue "is perplexing" since the Arab-Israeli negotiations get covered in detail. "American and European journalists pay great attention to the Arab world's diplomatic dealings with the Jewish state," he writes. "How odd that they pay almost none to what Arabs and Muslims actually say about Jews."
