The WaPO's war against Israel

The Washington Post, misleading down to the subheadlines

Even subheadlines are substandard at the Washington Post.  In “Gazans go hungry as aid groups step back” (04/04/24), the subheadline reads, “Israel’s war has wrecked Hamas civilian rule, with no alternative in place.”

The anti-Israel bias at the Post is as clear as the clearest day.  It is not “Israel’s war.”  To say so exposes the authors’ animus against Israel, ignoring how this war started and who the perpetrators were.

To remind The Washington Post, on October 7, thousands of Hamas combatants followed by Gazan civilians stormed through the borders of Israel, murdering; mutilating civilians, including children and babies; and taking hundreds of hostages, including babies.  Nice sleight of hand, Washington Post, in redirecting to implicate Israel.  It is Hamas’s war on Israel, no matter how many times the Post repeats its canard.  It begs one to ask, is the Post on the Hamas payroll?

It is known that one of the authors of the article, Hajar Harb, applauded the massacre of Jews on October 7 in a since deleted X post.

Usually there are lies in every sentence when the Post writes about Israel — but in this subheadline, the paper has outdone itself.  There are multiple lies in one sentence!

The subheadline references “Hamas civilian rule.”  What a misnomer!  It is Hamas terrorist rule, not civilian rule!

The subheadline ends by saying there is “no alternative [to the situation] in place.”  How about the obvious?  Demand that Hamas put down their weapons and release the hostages, and all will be well for the Gazan people.  Why does that obvious answer not register for what was once a proud newspaper?
