Jeremy Bash: Media Caused an Anti-Israel Fervor in Arab World by Taking the Word of Terrorists at Face Value

(Via Breitbart)

EXCERPT:

BASH: “The reaction on the Arab Street is a critical factor that’s playing out at this hour. But why was there this reaction on the Arab Street? It’s because for some reason, the news media ran out there and took the word, lock, stock and barrel of a Hamas ministry spokesperson, and of course, it was Israeli airstrike, before there was any evidence. Now I agree, at this hour, we don’t know. The IDF has put out a radar track showing that the missile from Islamic Jihad flew right over the hospital. They also say that there’s a [indecipherable] intercept of Islamic Jihad fighters talking about firing this rocket. So we don’t have the evidence and I take the point earlier we may never know.”
