U.S. Media’s Doublespeak: Israelis Live in “Densely Populated Areas,” Palestinians Are “Human Shields”

  CNN did not, of course, vehemently denounce Israel’s use of civilians as “human shields” when it noted Mossad’s civilian-dense location. Because for CNN, like almost every Western media outlet, Israelis, unlike Palestinians, get to be human.

  Mossad’s headquarters is a legitimate military target. It is located in a densely populated area in the same sense that, for example, the Pentagon is located in a densely populated area. It’s still a distinct target, not a tunnel under a hospital.
