Confession: I had long been enduring writer's, or rather blogger's, block. Until last night's horrific terror attack in Itamar, Israel, when a Palestinian terrorist entered the home of the Fogel family and killed the young parents, Udi and Ruth, in addition to three of their children, Yoav (11), Elad (4), and Hadas (3 months).
Putting aside the massacre itself, the situation which brought it about, and the implications for the people of Israel: the media coverage of the attack itself is extensive and clearly indicative of a journalistic bias against Israel.
I write this as a journalism student, one clearly invested in Israel but at the same time as devoted to objectivity and the pursuit of truth as possible: international newspapers' responses to the attack have been merciless, and their urgency in condemning Israel is thinly disguised. Full analysis to follow.
Until then: ברוך דיין האמת. Blessed is the True Judge.
