Like the terrorists it effectively defends, the Post’s coverage of Israel’s latest counterterrorist operation in the town of Jenin is prone to misfires. Arab leaders like Amin al-Husseini, among others, incited anti-Jewish riots throughout the land, including pogroms in Jerusalem in 1920 and 1921. The Post’s coverage of the Jenin operation is misleading in other respects. This crucial context is missing from most of the Post’s coverage of the Jenin operation. It is also a sign of how politicized and narrative driven the Post’s coverage of Israel has become.
