By Bruce S. TickerPHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Mainstream media reporting about Israel often inflames Jews, but they must not worry only about what the media cover but also what they do not cover. Abdulrahim glosses over the nature of the 1948 war. For them, it was a war of survival.”He presents the nature of the war as a he said/she said-type of argument. Arabs living within Israel’s borders were certainly not known as Palestinians in 1948. The Times and other media outlets have still done some excellent reporting on Israel, but that does not excuse deficient articles like this one.
