DPA Helpfully Illustrates Institutional Anti-Israel Media Bias

Helpful

Deutsche Presse, Dec. 24, 2008:

Palestinian militants showered southern Israel with rockets Wednesday, causing Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak to reverse a decision to open Gaza Strip crossing points to allow an aid convoy to enter the salient. Hamas said the barrage - which saw Israel hit with 68 rockets and mortars shells by late afternoon - was to avenge the deaths Tuesday night of three Hamas men whom Israel killed as they were planting a bomb on the Gaza-Israel border fence.

Deutsche Presse, Dec. 27, 2008:

Israel unleashed waves of airstrikes against the Gaza Strip Saturday, targeting Hamas installations and personnel, and killing 225 people, most of them militants, in a long- expected response to the more than 180 rockets fired at Israel from the salient in the past week. More than 750 people were injured in the strikes, Palestinian medical officials said, noting that the fatality toll was the highest in the Gaza Strip since the 1967 Middle East War.

Just let me know when these get boring. (h/t: BtB)
