Email of the Day: Suicide Bombing Was Not Act of Revenge

Mere Rhetoric reader Barry cracks another PA propaganda myth perpetuated by the MSM:

One must take... the reasons [given] for a suicide attack, with a grain of salt. Israel's channel 10, showed on Thursday night that the video of Hadera's bomber was made before Sa'adi's death.

So when the AP's Ibrahim Barzak describes the murder of five Israelis as "an Islamic Jihad revenge bombing" for the assassination of senior West Bank leader Luay Sa'adi, he's not just lying by omission because he's failing to contextualize that assassination as a response to the drive-by shooting of seven Israeli children. He's simply outright lying.
