The Arab Street Has a New Blood Libel: that Jews Slaughter Palestinians in Their Hospitals
(Wall Street Journal) Elliot Kaufman - Hamas said Tuesday that an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City hospital killed at least 500 Palestinians. It was a lie. Turns out it wasn't Israeli, it wasn't an airstrike, it didn't hit the hospital, nowhere close to 500 people were killed, and Hamas knew it. The question is why the media and so many others ran with the story of Israeli war crimes. They did so on nothing but the word of the jihadist group that committed the largest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. The media bought it and shifted the Western discussion to what Israel had supposedly done rather than what Hamas actually did.
