LA Times: Giving a Voice to Hamas

The publication of Hamas op-eds in both the New York Times and Washington Post provoked an outcry.Not wishing to be outdone by its illustrious rivals, the LA Times gives free propaganda to Hamas in a July 10 op-ed by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk.We do not intend to reprint his false charges or to give Marzouk's piece any more credibility.However,some of the most noxious parts of his diatribe deserve a response,if only to demonstrate that such content should not be appearing in supposedly respectable media outlets.Irrespective of Marzouk's "moderate" message to English-language media, he, like the rest of Hamas,advocates the destruction of the State of Israel.If you don't believe it, watch this video of Marzouk openly expressing these sentiments to an Arabic-speaking audience.Marzouk's false claims, when properly deconstructed, demonstrate the danger of granting Hamas access to the mainstream media. Hamas clearly recognizes the value of reaching a Western audience.Editors and publishers must not allow their publications to be exploited by a terrorist organization that speaks in two voices,a "moderate" one for the West and its true, extremist voice which is often unheard except in the Arab media.
