I'm totally confused - Arab says typical Arab propaganda (in this case about Op Cast Lead) and the Jewish journalist won't let him get away with it. Why doesn't this happen more often?
(a) Arab MKs are usually not so stupid to tell Israeli journalists propaganda with lies to their face (b) Israeli journalists usually don't realize it's propaganda with lies (c) Israeli journalists don't usually question propaganda and lies (d) Arab MKs say propaganda and lies all the time but this time he wasn't very slick about it. (e) Israeli journalists, like Israelis in general, are very polite and feel it's too rude to argue, except on this show which is supposed to have a debate format.
this journalist, Dan Margalit, is actually coming under fire for not remaining objective and conducting the interview in and letting himself get dragged into this argument. Margalit is a fairly right-wing journalist, supporter of Bibi. That is probably why he is coming under fire.
ג'מאל זחאלקה is a perfect example of a Chaver Knesset!!! :-)

ReplyDeletewow - it's a good thing I don't usually watch this stuff. I think all that "objectivity" would make *me* throw up.
