Revealing Rerun
The Washington Post's Molly Moore is at it again. Her “Watching the War; To Young Palestinians, Images of Suffering Are All Too Familiar,” (April 3) is the latest one-sided portrayal of Palestinians as victims of Israel. She uncritically interviews several West Bankers who claim to identify with televised images of Iraqi civilians frisked at U.S. checkpoints or “children bloodied by shrapnel from missile strikes.” Moore is a Jerusalem-based correspondent for the Post, but at least this offering did not make the hard news “A” section. Editors ran it in “Style,” home to fashion, fads and celebrities.
