Smoke & Mirrors: PBS' Two-Part Deflection On Palestinian Violence (Tax money to PBS as Islamic Amna Nawaz turns it into more Israelophobia)
Camera ^ | July 19, 2023

Posted on 07/21/2023 7:04:51 AM PDT by Milagros

Not only does Molana-Allen shift blame onto Israel (both its seven-month-old government and its settlements) for Palestinian violence which has been on the rise since at least early 2022, she also runs interference on behalf of the Lions’ Den terror organization. In the July 10 Newshour broadcast, “Cycle of violence and economic turmoil pushes young Palestinians to take up arms,” the special correspondent conceals the fact that the Lions’ Den terror organization has itself claimed responsibility for attacks against civilians and soldiers on numerous occasions, misleading...

Like her 2020 debacle of coverage deflecting UNRWA’s responsibility for its own failures, Molana-Allen’s twin broadcasts redirect, turning the lens on domestic Israeli matters as the culprit for escalating Palestinian violence while completely overlooking Iran’s role and downplaying Palestinian Authority responsibility...

Contrary to Molana-Allen’s suggestion, the Lions’ Den has itself responsibility for attacks against civilians and soldiers outside of Nablus on numerous occasions, including the fatal shooting of Israeli soldier Ido Baruch near the Shavei Shomron settlement. 

Molana-Allen also makes a clumsy pass at implicating Israel in targeting civilians, reporting...

The increasingly common media canard that terror organizations “regularly claim any young many killed as a fighter” is untrue, and seeks to discount as unreliable the terror organizations’ own identification of their members, thereby falsely casting verified terrorists as innocent civilians.

Indeed, CAMERA Arabic has documented numerous instances in which Palestinian assailants killed while carrying out attacks were not claimed by one of the terror organizations, including:

20/9/22: “Martyr” Musa Sarsour murdered 84-yo Shulamit Rachel Ovadia in Holon and  committed suicide afterwards.

22/9/22: “Martyr” Muhammad Abu Jum’a attacked bypassers in the Shilat junction with a knife.

5/11/22: “Martyr” Mus’ab Nafal threw stones at Israeli civilians near Ramallah.

15/11/22: “Martyr” Muhammad Suf murdered three Israeli civilians near the Ari’el industial zone.

11/1/23: “Martyr” Sanad Samamra carried out a stabbing attack in the Havat Yehuda outpost near Hebron.

24/3/23: “Martyr” Karm Salman tried to enter Kdumim with a loaded gun and attack civilians.

26/5/23: “Martyr” Alaa’ Qaysiya carried out a stabbing attack in the Tene Omarim settlement south of Hebron.

Concealed by PBS’ abundant distractions including potential changes to Israeli governance, the (non-existent) building of “more and more” Israeli settlements, and intimations that Israel is in fact targeting non-combatants, lies the salient truth that the vast majority of the Palestinians killed this year in what PBS misleadingly labels “the cycle of violence” have been combatants civilians.

In the closing July 10 frame highlighting fatalities on both sides.. and in the course of some 15 minutes of reporting over the course of two broadcasts, PBS fails to deliver this most basic fact, deflecting with feigned balance and tortured causality.

There comes a time when you need to take a step back and look at a situation from a larger frame of reference.

There is no “two-state” solution. There is no “living side by side”.

These are the options....

1.) Live in a constant state of war where BOTH sides commit acts of war against each other. If you choose this option, you are choosing to live with any eventual outcome of that war.

2.) Force the Palestinians to submit to Israeli rules/customs/beliefs/etc and abandon their old ways....Remove anyone who wishes to remain a “Palestinian” from any land that Israel wants to retain control over and do with the land as they wish.

That is it.

We have the same choice here with 3rd world invaders.

The Europeans have the same choice.

The Native Americans had the same choice.

Multiculturalism is the greatest lie ever told to the people. It is not possible. It only destroys cultures.

Maybe when Pres Trump gets back in office, he will stop sending our tax dollars to PBS
