LA Times, Platform For Hamas Official
Batsheva Unterman, one of five Israelis killed during the six-month lull
An 18-month CAMERA study released in February 2008 found that the LA Times gave Op-Ed space to four Arab leaders, including Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook, while Israeli officials were not granted even one Op-Ed.
Once again, the LA Times has given a voice to Abu Marzook, who spouts the usual falsehoods, including regarding who first violated the ceasefire.
Abu Marzook adds a new falsehood, claiming that one Israeli was killed during the six-month ceasefire. In fact, five Israelis were killed during that time.
Once again, editors withhold from readers the fact that Abu Marzook was indicted in the United States in 2004 as a co-conspirator on racketeering and money-laundering charges in connection with activities on behalf of Hamas — information pertinent to readers’ judgment about his credibility.
When will the Times find space for an Israeli official?
