Washington Post inadvertently tells the truth about Israel?

 Michael Berenhaus - American Thinker

Unlike almost every Washington Post article regarding the war, Ignatius plainly admits that “Hamas has so far refused to accept the cease-fire that’s on the table.”  With all the coverage nationwide — even worldwide — supporting the pro-Hamas protests that call for a ceasefire, absent from the reporting is the obvious: Hamas refuses to accept a ceasefire.

“ 'Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza than any other known army in the world has,” according to John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and retired U.S. military officer.  His extensive thread is posted on X (formerly Twitter), according to the Jerusalem Post.

" 'The Times of Israel reported three weeks ago, when there were fewer overall casualties, “Israel has said it killed some 12,000 Hamas members in Gaza fighting, in addition to some 1,000 killed in Israel in the aftermath of the terror group’s October 7 invasion and onslaught.”

"That would mean that about half of all the casualties that the highly suspect Gaza Health Ministry has listed were civilians.  All tragic, and all the fault of Hamas.  These low civilian casualty figures are commendable, compared with the ratio of civilians to combatants killed by American forces in the Iraq war in Fallujah and Mosul.

"In summary, the mainstream media, and The Washington Post especially, are guilty of propagating lies about the Hamas-Israel war.  These are the unreported facts:

• The lack of a ceasefire is the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel.
• The Israeli public is currently galvanized by a unity government, so there is no reason to portray Netanyahu as a “far-right” bogeyman.
• Israel is fighting the most humane, careful urban war in history.  The only genocide is what Hamas has vowed to inflict on the Jewish state again and again until it succeeds.
• Israel has been a strong ally of the United States.  The mainstream media are trying to drive a wedge between the two.  It won’t work.  The relationship between the two countries has value to both.  Both countries share intelligence; Israel spends its aid on American products, helping the American economy; Israel tests, in combat, American innovations; and most importantly, Israel is an island of allegiance in a dangerous yet critically important part of the world.

"When will the mainstream media get the Israel story right, when they have been so wrong for so long?"
