<p>On Wednesday, senior Hamas official Salah Albardawil admitted in an interview with &#8220;Bladna al Alamyia&#8221; that 50 of the dead in the Gaza riots were members of Hamas. He stated, &#8220;<a href="http://alaqsavoice.ps/news/details/203028">50 martyrs of Hamas rose</a>&#8221; during the so-called march. This isn&#8217;t shocking &#8212; Israel has been targeting terrorists with facial recognition during the riots.</p>

<p>Just yesterday, Hamas began releasing photographs of those slain. Surprise, surprise, many were members of Hamas&#8217; internal security service.</p>

<p>Yet the media continue to parrot Hamas&#8217; line that Israel is targeting innocents. This is media malfeasance at its finest. And it is getting more Palestinians killed, because Hamas seeks to put innocent people in harm&#8217;s way for the cameras. They&#8217;ve been rushing children to the border in an attempt to achieve photographs of supposed Israeli brutality on the front pages of newspapers. And the media have been happy to oblige.</p>
