The Moral Perversion Following the Jerusalem Synagogue Attack

I am posting a series of articles to show the utter moral perversion that infects mot only Israel's Arab enemies but the West itself. First is CBS reporter Nora O'Donnell who tells her viewers that the incident happened at a contested religious site (Hat tip Honest Reporting).

"The two Palestinian attackers died in a shootout with police. It happened at a contested religious site in Jerusalem."

Since when is a synagogue in West Jerusalem a "contested religious site", Ms O'Donnell?

Nor did CNN get it right. The below was sent to me by my friend, Rabbi Dov Fisher.

After coming under heavy fire for its initial coverage of Tuesday's attack at Bnei Torah synagogue in Western Jerusalem, CNN issued a public apology.

“As CNN updated its reporting on the terrorist attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem earlier today, our coverage did not immediately reflect the fact that the two Palestinians killed were the attackers. We erred and regret the mistake," CNN said in a statement that was posted on Israeli news websites late Tuesday.

CNN’s initial headline reporting the attack read “4 Israelis, 2 Palestinians Dead in Jerusalem," leading to ridicule for its conflation of victims and attackers.
In a later headline, CNN mistakenly referred to the synagogue in which the killings took place as a mosque:
Internet users were not quick to forget the mistake. Several Facebook users developed memes with victim-blaming headlines:

CNN wasn't the only outlet to come under fire for its reporting on the massacre."

Then there was CNN's Ashleigh Banfield telling Alan Dershowitz that every Israeli is, as Hamas says, a soldier (thus a legitimate target for terrorists).

Then there is the BBC, never known for its objectivity. They, like other European outlets, delight in showing the images of Palestinian dead in any conflict with Israel, but when they were interviewing Israeli economics minister Naftali Bennet, they objected when he held up images of the dead in yesterday's synagogue attack. "Sorry. We don't actually want to see that picture. Please take that down," the BBC commentator asked.

But here is the worst. Our allies in Jordan, you know that moderate country in the Middle East that is so pro-American? Their parliament actually observed a moment of silence-not for the dead Jews, mind you-but for the two dead terrorists.

Are you throwing up yet, Dear Reader?

I was on a trip outside of the United States when the IDF stopped a ship from landing in Gaza. This was one of the blockade breaking efforts by Palestinian sympathizers and Islamists. When the outnumbered IDF boarded the ship, they were attacked with knives, and pipes. The Israelis were vilified by the anti-Semitic CNN International cable news. This was a prime example of the CNN anti-Semitic reporting.
Here is a link to what the PA distributed before the savage and inhumane killing of Rabbis in a temple. CNN did not report on this.
