On Sunday, The New York Times<\/a> posted an op-ed piece by Marwan Barghouti<\/a> who criticized Israel<\/a> for their imprisonment of Palestinians terrorists. Yesterday CNS News<\/a> posted an article explaining some of the background of Marwan Barghouti.<\/p>\n

The article at CNS News explains:<\/p>\n

Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five consecutive life sentences for the murder of five people in terror attacks, wrote the op-ed published Sunday to explain a decision by some 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel<\/a> to begin a hunger strike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim, he wrote, was to seek an end to Israeli \u201cabuses\u201d which he charged included torture, degrading treatment and medical negligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barghouti<\/a>, 57, referred to experiences in Israeli jails, beginning when he was a teenager, but made no reference to the trial and conviction that led to his incarceration today. Instead he portrayed himself as \u201cpursuing this struggle for freedom along with thousands of prisoners, millions of Palestinians and the support of so many around the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/i> initially informed readers only that \u201cMarwan Barghouti is a Palestinian leader and parliamentarian.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Needless to say, Israel quickly pointed out the history of the editorial writer.<\/p>\n

The article includes the following comment which puts the whole incident into perspective:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s next?\u201d Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu\u2019s spokesman David Keyes wrote in a letter to the paper. \u201cOp-eds<\/a> written by famed doctors Ayman al-Zawahiri<\/a> and Bashar al-Assad<\/a>?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPrinting Barghouti\u2019s sham plea for justice while omitting the fact that he\u2019s a convicted mass murderer is outrageous.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keyes noted that during his imprisonment Barghouti \u201chas taught courses, gotten a PhD and received a monthly salary from the Palestinian Authority<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wives and children of his victims, meanwhile, \u201cwere left heartbroken every single day.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the mainstream media prints an editorial from an unrepentant terrorist without identifying who the writer is, they are betraying the public trust. At least In the world of alternative media, the public has a way of finding out who the author of the editorial is and what he has done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
