Pro-Israel Activists Voice Objections At CBS Shareholders Meeting
Larry Domnitch / American Thinker
It does not take sixty minutes, but a mere few moments to level a smear against an entire nation. The recent CBS 60 Minutes program on Israel and its falsely alleged mistreatment of Christians was nothing less than a version of a modern-day blood libel against the Jewish State.
The program ignored the real facts and the realities, as well as the many testimonies of Muslim persecution against Christians in the PA territories.
A letter by CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) director Andrea Levin to Jeffrey B. Fager, chairman of CBS News, quoted one such testimony by Fr. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the guardian of the Roman Catholic Church's property in the Holy Land, which appeared in the New York Sun in 2005. To wit, "[a]lmost every day — I repeat, almost every day — our communities are harassed by the Islamic extremists in these regions. And if it's not the members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, there are clashes with … the Palestinian Authority."
Program host Bob Simon described Israel's security fence as "completely surrounding" Bethlehem, which is simply false.
It is truly unfortunate, in light of the tragic persecution of Christians in so many Islamic nations, that 60 Minutes conjured up a spurious account in order to malign Israel, while disregarding those whose stories that truly need to be told.
