Israeli Government Puts CNN on Blast Over Media Manipulation. It's Beautiful.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry put CNN in their sights and opened proverbial fire on the (fake) news network on Sunday over a report concerning a young Israeli soldier who was murdered at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists from Hamas, making it seem as if the act was the result of Israel’s retaliation for a border fence breach in Gaza on Saturday.
Of course this is the slant CNN would take. We all know how much the left hates Israel, considering them to be hostile invaders taking land that belongs to someone else. These people are clueless.
On Friday, members of Hamas opened fire on IDF soldiers on the border; 20-year-old Givati Brigade Staff Sergeant Aviv Levi was murdered. Israel reacted by bombing 60 different Hamas terror targets. Then, on Saturday, members of Hamas breached the Israeli border fence, prompting the IDF to shell a Hamas observation post.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon tweeted:
No @cnni !!! You got it wrong and not for the first time – an Israeli soldier was killed by #Hamas and #IDF retaliated, protecting its country and citizens against murderous terrorists. By misrepresenting the facts you manipulate against #Israel! @cnni- STOP YOUR MANIPULATION !
CNN did not respond to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Nahshon told the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot that his ministry would confront media outlets that “deliberately distort events taking place in Israel,” adding, “We will respond to every distorted headline and demand its immediate correction.”
Given CNN’s history of bias against Israel (examples here and here) it’s not at all shocking to see they’re still pushing the anti-Semitic agenda of the left, hoping to turn folks against the nation and fix some ill perceived injustice they feel the country has carried out on the Muslims in Palestine.
Isn’t it strange how much the left seems to love Islam? This is the religion whose belief system inspired folks to take the lives of thousands of Americans during 9/11. Who have carried out awful, heinous acts all around the world for centuries. Yet, the left chooses to side with these oppressors and murderers.
It boggles the mind how folks who claim to be about social justice, equality, all of that stuff, and are sticking up for people who hold the very same ideas they claim to hate.
