NPR added to its repertoire of soft or sympathetic interviews of perpetrators, leaders and supporters of Palestinian terror in its recent interview with Mahmoud Khalil. Structured to garner sympathy, NPR never asked him about the speech he claims he has been targeted for or why he has repeatedly refused to condemn Hamas.
The case of Mahmoud Khalil has been the talk of the nation’s media in recent days. Predictably, coverage has been short on context but tall on editorializing platitudes.
The music magazine has improved its reporting on Gaza casualties, but its account of recent events at Columbia University quotes four anti-Israel students and no pro-Israel students.
These individuals took a stand at a crucial moment in time against those institutions that are equivocating, or worse, in the face of hatred and terrorism. They serve as examples, and hopefully inspiration, for others to speak up and do what is right.
