Christian Science Monitor Shills for Hamas

Christian Science Monitor Shills for Hamas

Gaza City, Gaza - As a weapon in its struggle with Israel, Nahool the Bee
doesn’t look like a particularly threatening addition to the Hamas arsenal. He
doesn’t even have a stinger. But what the bright yellow star of “Tomorrow’s
Pioneers” on Hamas-owned Al Aqsa television lacks in muscle he makes up for in
fervor. Speaking in a recent episode, Nahool vowed to help take back Jerusalem
from the “criminal Jews” and expressed his hope that he and all of his listeners
would grow up to become holy warriors.The show, along with paramilitary-style summer camps for Gazan boys, reveal a key element in Hamas’s long-term strategy.


I don't think that it could be said that they are shills for anyone. The style of journalism that is pursued at Christian Science Daily is one of putting the facts on the table and allowing the readers to make judgements. In this piece they fall short of saying that what Hamas is doing is wrong, but they do not support it either. It clearly is a sad state of affairs that already children are being taught - if not hate, ideas that will lead to hate as they get older. When will the children no longer be taught to fear and hate each other.
