The mirror reflects Trib, NY Times, CNN

The uninformed reader of the Trib's editorial 'Who's to blame for the Gaza violence?' would have no idea that the Israeli army massacred 61 Palestinians and wounded several thousand more at the Israeli-Gaza border without suffering a single casualty. Nor would they understand the protesters were seeking to reveal in all its deadly horror, Israel's decade long blockade of Gaza's two million souls forced to the brink of joblessness, unsustainable health care, hideous living conditions, indeed, starvation; all supported and enabled by the United States. How cruel of the Trib to term possibly the world's worst man made humanitarian crisis as "economic hardship." How insensitive simply to "note that many of the protesters were peaceful", only massing "to reassert their 'right of return' to what is now Israel...to express their despair — as generations of Palestinians have" and "to denounce the U.S. embassy switch." But the Trib is not alone. The New York Times has been called out for asserting Palestinians were simply "dying", while CNN rightly criticized for asserting that "clashes" resulted in "deaths". Instead of telling the unvarnished, horrific truth of Israel's weekly slaughter to keep Palestinians suffocating in the world's largest open air prison, mainstream media is using the mildest language possible to mask that truth.

The Trib calls on Palestinian leaders to look in the mirror for the source of Palestinian gunshot victims. The Trib, NY Times and CNN should all look in their mirror before their next weekly Gaza massacre story.
