Where’s the Outrage?

Our readers know about the Palestinians’ desecration of synagogues in Gaza after the Israeli army pulled out; we reported on it here. But those who rely on American newspapers and news magazines for information probably heard nothing about it. Jonathan Gurwitz writes:

Unlike allegations that the American military flushed copies of the Koran down the toilet, the desecration of synagogues in the Gaza Strip actually happened. Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups weren’t the least bit shy about displaying their incendiary handiwork at houses of worship abandoned by Israeli settlers last month.

Interestingly, Newsweek — and much of the international media that helped fan the flames of Islamic fanaticism with the faulty stories of Koran desecration — took a powder on synagogue desecration.
