U.S. press sympathetic to Israel, ADL finds
By Shlomo Shamir, Ha'aretz, 10/25/2000
NEW YORK - Covering the recent clashes between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the majority of large-circulation, influential newspapers in the United States have shown support for Israel and expressed sympathy for its plight. An Anti-Defamation League survey of editorials published by American newspapers between September 30 and October 15 has established this pattern of media support for Israel.
In the case of 67 editorials published by U.S. newspapers in the past two weeks, 19 newspapers expressed unqualified support for Israel, this survey says. Seventeen newspapers presented "balanced analysis," articulating criticism of both sides. Only nine newspapers stood squarely on the Palestinian side, voicing criticism against Israeli leaders (particularly Ariel Sharon), whom they accused of responsibility for the conflagration
