Gaza war

It is common knowledge that there is a lot of prejudice against Jews in the world and here in the United States most acts of hatred against religion are against the Jews. The recent bombing of the hospital in Gaza has brought to light another source of prejudice. The AP and other news outlets immediately reported that the Jews had bombed the hospital. This was done based solely on reports from Hamas. No time was taken to check out the story just straight out reporting and this will likely continue as events unfold. In the Ukraine war when Russia reports some atrocity by the Ukrainians the press first checks the accuracy before reporting. When President Biden tells the Jews that they must be careful to limit collateral damage he is indirectly encouraging Hamas to put civilians in danger. Hamas has learned from past wars that their real strength is getting public opinion on their side and they do this by the killing of innocents. In the recent case of the hospital bombing the question to ask is which side benefits from this attack. Which side is hurt by this attack. This is the seventh war between these two parties since 1948 and each time the same strategy was used by the Palestinians and each time it worked. While the press is backing Israel now this will change and as time passes and as more innocent people are killed the press will slowly turn against the Jews. This type of reporting is absent from the war in Ukraine where many thousands have been killed and millions have been forced from their homes.
