"If the International media is objective, it serves Hamas. If it just shows both sides, it serves Hamas. My argument is that the media cannot just claim to bring both sides of the story. If you do that, you are only bringing one -- Hamas’s side,” That’s cowardly and it’s lazy. It is an insult to the victims, including the Palestinian victims. It is an insult to the core idea of what journalism is, Believe me, I was a journalist for 31 years. I have no problem with criticism of Israel. But when you know that one side lies and one side makes every effort to verify the facts, the least we can expect is that you don't give a never-ending platform to the lies.
