"Mainstream Media Mum after Druze Burn Down Police Station"
Aryeh Eldad Comments
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/133239(IsraelNN.com) MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) attacked the Israeli media Wednesday for downplaying a violent attack Tuesday by Druze hooligans against the police station in Usfiyeh, on mount Carmel.
“Yesterday, fire bombs were thrown at the police station in Usfiyeh and the station was closed down for renovation,” he said. “The background is that arrest warrants were issued to two residents of Beit Jan who carried out construction within the boundaries of the nature reserve. Imagine that settlers or hareidis would burn down a police station. What would happen in the media?
“I looked for the item about the burning of the police station in Usfiyeh in the morning newspapers, and I found it on page 10 in Haaretz. It's on page 18 in Maariv, and in Yediot [Aharonot] – there was not even one line in the entire newspaper about this matter,” he complained.
"What huge headlines of incitement and spilling of blood would have appeared if, G-d forbid, settlers would have burned down a police station at Ariel?” he asked. “Whoever thought that he could find objective reporting in the Israeli media should think again.”
