ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Thousands of Palestinian civilians have been killed in Syria by a combination of the Syrian armed forces, Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. In addition, devastation has been brought to their neighborhoods. Yet American media coverage of this has been almost absent.

By contrast, 58 Palestinians from Gaza have been killed attacking the Israeli border — and this received enormous coverage. Most American media coverage does not mention that more than 80 percent of these people were Hamas terrorists. Also unmentioned is the fact that many of the “protesters” were armed with knives, meat cleavers and guns. Furthermore, kites on fire from Gaza were also used to cause damage across the border in Israel.

In short, better media coverage is needed — and this may call for a greater familiarity with the issues and happenings by news staffs.
