And even more stupid excuses.
They had the Israeli spokesman on. He simply asked Wolf, "how do you explain the simultaneous rocket, missile and mortar attacks into Israel?."

American media's new pro-Israel bias: the same party line at the wrong time
Doer is there a talking line you don't gobble up hook, line, sinker?These are contentious questions, to be sure, and with complicated answers. But they are relevant to understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today. They also parallel the issues routinely raised by American journalists with Palestinian officials, pressing to consider how the US would react if it were under rocket fire from Mexico, to explain why Hamas won’t recognise Israel and to repudiate Palestinian anti-Semitism.
- What would you do if a foreign country was occupying your land?
- What does it mean that Israeli cabinet ministers deny Palestine’s right to exist?
- What should we make of a prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who as opposition leader in the 1990s was found addressing rallies under a banner reading “Death to Arabs”?
