CNNI: 40 Year Anniversary of the Six Day War
What follows are two reports from CNN International on the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors in 1967. The differences between the two reports is illuminating.
The first is by Ben Wedeman, who cannot bring himself to utter the word “occupation.” Like most of his reports, it amounts to Israeli propaganda.
Choosing Sari Nusseibeh, President of Al Quds University,as a Palestinian voice was both predictable and disappointing. For those who do not know Mr. Nusseibeh can best be described as anxious to accomodate.
On the other hand, Atika Shubert actually produced a decent report.
