Palestinian-Jordanian Academic: Media Demonization of Israel Harms Palestinians
Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian of Palestinian heritage and a researcher at the University of Bedfordshire, begins his recent Op-Ed by pointing out that “since the establishment of the State of Israel, the international media have been unhesitant in criticizing the Jewish state on almost everything,” and concludes that “the demonization of Israel by the global media has greatly harmed the Palestinians’ interests for decades and covered up Arab atrocities against them.”
Zahran has much to say in between those two statements. Be sure to read his piece here.
