ROLE MODELS: Another star-struck portrayal
ROLE MODELS: Another star-struck portrayal of Palestinian terrorists in the Washington Post.
Profiles such as this one usually gloss over certain inconvenient facts, and this article is no exception. Here's an example:
...Abu Wadya eventually became disillusioned. The breaking point was when the government of the previous prime minister, Ehud Barak, declined to implement withdrawal agreements signed by previous governments.
"I had a glimpse of hope, like everybody else, but lost it," Abu Wadya said.
One might consider it appropriate to note that instead of implementing limited withdrawals, Barak offered the Palestinains virtually all of what they supposedly wanted at Camp David - something that should have offered a "glimmer of hope," which was only lost when the Palestinians started a war as a counteroffer. But that context would be inconvenient, wouldn't it?
