Helen Thomas’ Exquisite ‘Weimar Moment’ Reflects Progressive America
The Israeli government has a well funded and staffed agency for presenting Israel’s case abroad, it is called the Israeli Foreign Ministry and it has grossly failed in this mission for decades. Worse, some Israeli emissaries have even published bitter and unfounded criticism of their own government in the foreign media without so much as word of condemnation by their own minister.
The Israeli Hebrew radio, television, and print media are and have been for decades dominated by the Peace Now far Left minority of Israel and can easily be mistaken for spokesmen for the PLO, Hamas, and Hizballa. Their reporting about Israel in general makes Israel look like a racist, militaristic, and fascist society, but they are especially critical of any and all Israeli self defence actions against terrorists or Arab armies. Indeed, the Israeli Hebrew media is the darling of the enemies of Israel who liberally qoute them in their propaganda war against the Jewish People and Nation.
There is not much that can be done about the Left wing anti Israel bias of the media in Israel, but a thorough purge of the Foreign Ministry is certainly in order.
