The Angry Arab - From the Washington Post: or how to make readers sympathetic to a car bomb:
"The bombing in the Shiite neighborhood of Haret Hreik, which is controlled by Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement".
What does "controlled" mean? And does Amal, which has a most powerful
presence there, also control the area? And what about those Shi`ites and
atheists and non-Shi`ites who live there: are they also "controlled" by
Hizbullah?
The Angry Arab - You tell me: does this language justify the bombing of civilians? From the New York Times:
"While the neighborhood is residential, Hezbollah dominates the area."
Can you imagine the uproar--at the international level--if an Arab
paper were to write after an explosion in a Jewish neighborhood
somewhere around the world this sentence: "While the neighborhood is
residential, Zionists dominates the area". Can you imagine???
