Biased reporting from Palestinian Areas is the norm.

Irish perceptions of Israel and Jews have been shaped by Palestinian manipulation of news media. Unable to match Israel's military prowess on the battlefield, Palestinian Authority efforts have focussed on fighting an information war. In this, it has successfully blindsided Israel's defences. The main casualties are truth, the image of Israel and tolerance of Jews around the world. In Ireland, Palestinian propaganda and news manipulation have been particularly successful and chimed in with a traditional sympathy for the perceived underdog.

Palestinian tactics against foreign journalists, almost all of whom are unable to speak Arabic or Hebrew, who fail to report favourably to their cause include systematised intimidation, banning and even murder. The antipathy thus created among news consumers in Ireland has led to a climate anti-intellectual abuse and hatred of Jews and Israel.

You mean, that when your opponant has superior, and, in this case, overwhelming military prowess, you are NOT an underdog? Curious....

Sure ya have a point but dont think for a second that the Israelis dont do the very
same and with a lot less justification the way the conflict is reported on the U.S news
channels bears witness to that but the bare facts are clear Israel is a brutal occupying
force that strangles the Palestinian economy that restrict free movement in their own
land that steals there land and settles heavily armed religious zealots on it that builds
roads between these settlements that Palestinians can not go near on fear of death that
captures holds and tortures Palestinian for months and years without trial a
supposedly legitimate nation and military that routinely kills woman children
cameramen and other journalist and the odd peace activist they have the most
advanced military machine in the region they get 3billion from the man each year
what do the Palestinians have they a few men women and youngsters hu av been
pushed once to often with semtex round their chests and have the hope that the west
will start to give a shit about this fucking disgusting situation so maybe u can forgive
them for exaggerating every now and then

Yeah Avi cause the jersualum post is the finest home of unblemished, unbiased, reporting, a bastion of truth and honesty, like all major Israeli newspapers.

Avi really you're not trying any more.

That's me told!

Ah! I see, so Israel is actually a peace loving state with nothing but love for the Arab brothers. Pull your head out of your arse, and let's all have a group hug.

Avi we have no need to listen to propaganda from any source to be able to see that Israel brutally represses the Palestinian population. This is clear from the mainstream media! In any case your attempt to paint the Palestinian manipulation of the media as more sophisticated and effective than that of Israel is idiotic and wrong!
