This is the face of Jew-hatred, masked as “journalism.”
One of the so-called journalists, Ayman Mohyeldin is an Egyptian-American who has previously worked for Al Jazeera.

In an on-air tirade that was nothing short of insane, MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin and Martin Fletcher excused the Palestinian terrorists who murdered four Israelis at a shopping mall yesterday, and blamed Israel instead….
In reality, both of Mohyeldin and Fletcher’s claims are simplistic and incorrect: the makeup of any democratically elected government does not justify terrorism against that country’s people, meanwhile Hamas has stated clearly that this attack was due to false claims of Israeli violations at the Al Aqsa mosque, rather than “frustration” or the makeup of Israel’s government. Hamas has used this excuse for terrorism frequently in the past.
But more importantly, where in the world is it acceptable to blame terror victims for having been attacked? And why cover up the Palestinian joy over successfully committing murder? Is MSNBC really so eager to blame Israel?
Ayman Mohyeldin has a history of inaccurately targeting Israel and justifying the acts of terrorists: last October he spent several minutes explaining on-air that a Palestinian man was “un-armed” at the time Israeli forces shot him, even as split-screen footage next to Mohyeldin showed the very same man running with a knife raised in the air….

Well, it didn’t take long for the talking points to reach the Lamestreamers and then broadcast to almost no one watching.
Libiots always blame the victim unless said victim is a protected class.
I wish we still had Jeanne Kirkpatrick around to take on the Blame Israel crowd like she took on the Blame America First crowd. Why doesn’t Kristol et al focus their abilities on these people?
