Calm Responsible Reporting

From Palestine News Network

...
30 Jewish settlers stormed [actually, simply walked in as is permitted] Al Aqsa Mosque this morning.

On Monday morning Jewish settlers dressed in civilian clothes [we don't have uniforms], appearing to be tourists while carrying religious garb and tools [tools?] for Jewish prayer in their bags, entered the Muslim holy site. They were preparing to perform religious rituals for Purim, the Jewish holiday that has the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and certainly the Gaza Strip, under lock-down.

A guard at Al Aqsa Mosque took notice and immediately informed Waqf (the Islamic ministry) officials. Police intervened and prevented the intruders from performing the act described as “humiliating” for Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims.

Today is the birthday of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed. There could not have been a more pointed day for the Israelis to attempt such an affront, reminiscent of the storming [in truth, it was Arabs who stormed the police trying to get at Sharon who was informed by Barak that Rajoub had said it was okay] of Al Aqsa grounds by former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and dozens of soldiers in September 2000.

Were you there?

[in truth, it was Arabs who stormed the police trying to get at Sharon who was informed by Barak that Rajoub had said it was okay]

You got your backwards own story for every fact don't you?

And while you citing almost the whole article, the parts you are omitting
"The Israeli administration is demolishing, or overtaking for settlers, Palestinian homes in Silwan, Sheikh Jarrah, Shu’afat, Beit Hanina, and points between within East Jerusalem."

and

"To add insult to injury, all morning today the occupying Israeli forces prevented Palestinians from reaching Al Aqsa Mosque to honor the celebration of the birth of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed.

Israeli soldiers harassed Palestinians, searched personal property, bodies and identification. Today’s assault was not only against young Palestinian men, which has become and unfortunate custom, but was also against families. They were not even allowed to bring food for their children into the mosque grounds for the full day event."

And you label PNN as biased media?

a. no I wasn't but I was informed.

b. i was dealing with one subject not the other.

c. i always try to give a source so you can check me. I don't hide Israel's mistakes or items that are controversial, as I hope you'll admit.

It's the way you filtrate the information to present it as favorable towards Israelis and as much unfavorable towards Muslims or Palestinians.

"I don't hide Israel's mistakes"
Hmmmm. Interesting. Name couple.
