Israel Relieves Suffering in Gaza, Egypt Intensifies It. By Walter Russell Mead. Via Meadia, September 18, 2013.
Mead:
We’re
not holding our breath for the BBC and others to roll out the maps and discover
that in fact Egypt also shares a border with Gaza that it likes to abuse and
refuses to open. Nor are we calling for any “Israel Saves Palestinians from
Arabs” headlines; Israel does not and should not get a free pass in reporting
about Gaza. But the lack of MSM
enthusiasm for stories about the role neighboring Arab states play in
Palestinian suffering is hard to understand given stories like these. It almost
makes one suspect that something more than concern for the Palestinians’
suffering is at work.
