demonized Israeli "settlers" save a palestinian baby's life. Does anyone still
want to make the case that there's any kind of moral equivalence between the two
sides or that the Israelis are the villains?
Honest Reporting:
Baby Saved in Itamar
MARCH 17, 2011 10:44 BY YARDEN FRANKL
You most likely will not read this story of Israeli soldiers and settlers saving
a Palestinian baby's life in the mainstream Western press. That's because it
does not fit the narrative of Israelis acting cruel toward Palestinians. But it
is now all over the Israeli press and people are circulating it on Facebook.
"Just as IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz arrived in Neve Tzuf to offer his
condolences, a Palestinian cab raced towards the community's entrance. In it,
soldiers and paramedics discovered a Palestinian woman in her 20s in advanced
stages of labor and facing a life-threatening situation: The umbilical cord was
wrapped around the young baby girl's neck, endangering both her and her mother.
The quick action of settler paramedics and IDF troops deployed in the area saved
the mother's and baby's life, prompting great excitement and emotions at the
site where residents are still mourning the brutal death of five local family
members."
That's right — as the surviving members of the Fogel family were sitting shiva
for family members brutally murdered in last week's terrorist attack — settlers
and soldiers saved the life of both the Palestinian mother and her baby. It's an
amazing story that deserves to be told and shared by as many people as possible.
Yet the same media who can be counted on to report every act — no matter how
rare — of alleged settler vandalism against Palestinian targets, seem to be
taking a pass on this story. Just as the media have a hard time picturing
settlers as victims (as evidenced by the botched reporting on the terrorist
attack,) they also have a hard time reporting on anything that reflects
positively on the settler community.
Send this story around and force the media to cover the case of settlers and
soldiers who saved a Palestinian baby while paying a condolence call on those
murdered by Palestinian terrorists.
