There may be many legitimate reasons to criticize the Israeli Cabinet decisions. But there are also legitimate reasons to support those decisions – reasons media outlets like CNN and the New York Times omitted. Media consumers deserve the facts and the context, not journalists deciding for them what to think.
U.S. media outlets repeatedly push claims that Israel has provided “no evidence” of UNRWA-Hamas ties. These claims are easily disproven by publicly available information. Ultimately, these reports serve to shield UNRWA from scrutiny.
CNN is failing to wrestle with the contradictions in its own reporting. Are Hamas’s figures reliable or worthless? Both can't be true, even if CNN's reporting implies as much.
It should raise eyebrows that 15 CNN journalists could not find space in a 1,000+ word article to address two obvious questions about Israel's strike on Hamas terrorists in Qatar.
