Huffington Post Does Not Recognize Vehicle-Ramming Terrorist Attacks Against Israel
In the wake of the recent ramming attack in London, the Huffington Post features a nearly 2 minute video on vehicle ramming attacks as a new form of terrorism. The video states “Here are the vehicle attacks that have occurred in the last year” and then it shows footage of attacks in London, Nice, Berlin and Stockholm. There is no mention of several vehicle attacks in Israel over the past year.
All told there have been over 60 ramming attacks by Palestinians against Israelis.
The Huffington Post has a long and disturbing history of anti-Israel articles, opinion pieces and on-line commenting. The failure of this featured video to even recognize the occurrence of terrorist attacks against Israel is a striking example of implicit bigotry and dehumanization of Jews. The implication is that Israeli victims of terrorism do not deserve recognition or the humanitarian empathy bestowed upon European victims.
This continues a troubling pattern where the British media does not acknowledge ramming attacks against Israelis.
