4/2/09: Ax murder of Shlomo Nativ - A grim addendum

.

A continuation of this article:

4/2/09: Ax murder of an Israeli child: Who said it - A terrorist spokesman, or HuffPost users (with approval)?

A GRIM ADDENDUM: A detailed analysis of how HuffPost played this story in its headlines and pictures --- vs. how it does so when the victims are Palestinians (including terrorists)

One might guess how HuffPost was going to play the horrific story of the barbaric murder of Shlomo Nativ by the wording of its teaser piece headline --- and the picture it chose to run with it:



The first thing to notice is that there is no picture of the victim, the crime scene, or mourners --- as HuffPost almost invariably employs for teasers and threads about Palestinians. See here, and later in this article, for validation of this allegation.

"Axe Attack"? Who knew that axes can jump off store shelves and murder children! But given that HuffPost is among the best-financed and -staffed political blogsites, its extensive journalistic resources may have uncovered something the rest of the world isn't aware of. Perhaps the axes in Palestinian stores are endowed with consciousness, raging Jew-hatred, and self-mobility?

Also notice that the words "Palestinian," "terrorist" and "murder" appear nowhere in the headline of either the photo-link, or the story itself. So it wasn't even a Palestinian axe?!

Does HuffPost really believe that putting up an accurate headline (such as,"Palestinian terrorist murders 16-year-old Israeli child with axe") would clash with its claims that it is a nonpartisan news source, only interested in reporting on "the truth"?

Further, we're unaware of why an ominous picture of IDF soldiers at night would be used in the teaser piece, as shown above.

Would not a bloody crime scene photo been more appropriate? What about the grieving victims' families (as was featured in other news stories --- and even on its own linked story thread)?


Here is the crime scene photo that was available at the time from ZAKA:


Yet HuffPost used neither of these photos for the teaser-piece.

No, as we have shown and will continue to show, HuffPost reserves that treatment only for splash headlines of Palestinians and their children who are accidentally killed in responsive military operations by the IDF --- not for Israeli children that are deliberately and savagely attacked by Islamofascist murderers.


One example is from the recent Operation Cast Lead, in which Israel had finally had enough of Hamas and related groups raining down rockets and murder on its civilians, and fought back.

Hamas inserted its fighters and rocket launchers within the civilian population and dared the IDF to attack them ---- which it did, with surgical precision. Yet of course, there were civilian casualties.

Here is what one of HuffPost's splash threads looked like on December 29, 2008:

Headline:

Israeli Assault Targets Symbols Of Hamas Power
(Here; Note: If you follow this link, however, you'll note that HuffPost has since changed the wording of this headline, but the above wording is validated in the JPG page-captures, below)

Photo:

Caption:
"The father of Palestinian Dena Balosha, 4, left, one of five members of the same family including three children and two teenagers who were killed in an Israeli missile strike, carries her body during their funeral in the Jebaliya refugee camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, Monday, Dec. 29, 2008."






HuffPost actually matched the above photo with the statement "Israeli Assault Targets Symbols Of Hamas Power," as if 4-year-old Dena Balosha were a symbol of Hamas "power."

Could Hamas have hoped for more compliant coverage of its propaganda, and the carnage resulting from its terrorism?

The JPGs of the first two pages of the PDF of this thread are below (click to enlarge):

Given all the above, it's little wonder that radical, Israel-hating leftists can so easily check truth and humanity at the electronic door that HuffPost holds open for them, so they can come on in, set a spell, and outdo Hamas's hatred, lies and blood libels against Israel, and a murdered Israeli boy, on a day like this.

The question is, do HuffPost's advertisers, who are paying the bills, actually know what they are paying to support --- and the audience they are paying to reach?


===========================

4/8/09 ADDENDUM: The difference, vividly depicted

In contrast to the way that HuffPost chose to cover the Shlomo Nativ murder, by failing/refusing to show a picture of him or those mourning him in its headline teaser, here is how it chose to depict a Palestinian journalist who is merely being detained ---




===========================

5/29/09 ADDENDUM: When an Israeli child is murdered by a Palestinian terrorist, he's nameless in headline; but when a Palestinian terrorist-murderer is killed, HuffPost uses his full name in headline

As is shown in the first screen shot on this thread, the headline HuffPost chose to run with this story was:

West Bank Ax Attack Kills Israeli Child, Poses Test For New PM

Yet when a Hamas terrorist --- who was accused in the murder of 10 Israeli civilians --- was ordered to surrender by the IDF, refused, and was killed in an exchange of gunfire, HuffPost put his name right in its headline, thereby "humanizing" him right from the get-go:

Abdul Majid Dudeen Killed By Israeli Forces

Please go to this article to discover just how far HuffPost went to shield Dudeen from being accurately depicted on its story thread... and the vicious, hateful comments directed at Israel that it then reviewed, approved and decided to publish.

HuffPost sympathizes with Gaza over IDF soldier kidnapping, ignores soldier's identity, plight

. 

For the duration of Operation Protective Edge, all posts concerning the conflict here at HUFF-WATCH will employ the above sub-banner, to remind readers new and old that the Huffington Post has been reliably turning facts on their heads in order to do Hamas's PR for it. 

On August 2, HuffPost published this headline at the top of its front page, just under the splash:

Turns out, the story was sourced by Reuters, but HuffPost completely changed the headline, which originally read "Hamas defends ambush, blamed for ending Gaza ceasefire."

Why would HuffPost twist this headline in such an egregious way?  

Lt. Goldin, 23, with his fiance.
His picture has yet to appear at
HuffPost.

The answer is, because HuffPost's editors chose to ignore the kidnapped IDF soldier, Lt. Hadar Goldin, 23, his fiance, his family and comrades, as well as the potential horrors that he is being subjected to at the hands of the gang of savages known as Hamas.  Instead, these editors decided to instead sympathize with what his kidnapping may mean for what they term Gaza's "nightmare."

Note also that HuffPost has not featured a single picture of Lt. Goldin on either its front page or World page.  

Contrast this to the fact that when a Palestinian "journalist" was merely detained for a few hours by Israel, HuffPost featured her picture on its front page:  

To feature Sgt. Goldin's face and story on HuffPost's front page would be to humanize him - and that is the one thing that HuffPost never does, for Israelis or Jews, as Huff-Watch and our friends at HuffPostMonitor have been documenting for the past five years.

As we've documented over and over again, HuffPost is only willing to "humanize" one side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: terrorists, their enablers, and their Muslim victims.  Lest we forget when Dirar Al Sisi, Hamas's chief rocket-maker, went missing on his way to an engineering conference, and HuffPost plastered his little girl's weepy-eyed face all over its front page and World page?

This practice of dehumanizing Israelis and Jews, and "super-humanizing" Palestinian terrorists and their victims, has been going on for many years at HuffPost:

HuffPost continues to do Hamas's PR, and dehumanizes Jews as a bonus 

HuffPost's pathological anti-Semitic bias: Children's edition

Part 2: HuffPost gives super-coverage to "homesick" jihadi - and continues ignoring victims of jihad 

HuffPost gives Palestinian murderer, IDF victim same moral status 

PICTORIAL: HuffPost's anti-Semitic bias against Tolouse murder victims 

HuffPost's anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias: Fogel family slaughter edition 

More of HuffPost giving front-page, personalized coverage of Muslim deaths; Jewish victims of Muslim violence? Nope

Humanizing Palestinians (and dehumanizing Jews) as part of Hamas's and HuffPost's doctinres

The Huff-Watch special report, Huffington Post: Hamas's mouthpiece in the USA, revealed the fact that Hamas's spokesperson, and one of HuffPost's top video "journalists," claim that they have the same basic mandate: to "humanize" Palestinians.  This basic propaganda doctrine was affirmed in a recently-discovered Hamas training manual:

Regarding “the narrative of life vs. the narrative of blood: [When speaking] to an Arab friend, start with the number of martyrs. [But when speaking] to a Western friend, start with the number of wounded and dead,” the video states. “Be sure to humanize the Palestinian suffering. Try to paint a picture of the suffering of the civilians in Gaza and the West Bank during the occupation’s operations and its bombings of cities and villages.”

So in the end, this incident was just one more in the long, long pattern of HuffPost acting as Hamas's most reliable Western online PR shill. 

"If you're going to produce great journalism, you have to build a team of people who are working together and driving toward the same goals editorially.”
--- Arianna Huffington, Advertising Age, April 7, 2011

Will anyone in a position of influence ever hold Arianna Huffington to account for the lies and incitement that are published as "news" in on the site that bears her name, and over which she maintains complete editorial control?  Or the advertisers who make it all possible?

HuffPost's anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias: Lara Logan gang-rape edition

.

“[T]oo many reporters have forgotten that the highest calling of journalists is to ferret out the truth, consequences be damned.”
- Arianna Huffington, July 29, 2008

“[W]e are increasingly seen ... as an Internet newspaper, not positioned ideologically in terms of how we cover the news.”
- Arianna Huffington, May 22, 2009

On Tuesday, Feb. 15, HuffPost gave top-line coverage to the shocking story of CBS correspondent Lara Logan. According to numerous reports, Logan was kidnapped in Cairo's Tahrir Square by an estimated 200 Egyptian men, savagely beaten and sexually assaulted for 30 minutes before she was rescued. (Right: Logan, moments just before she was kidnapped.)

HuffPost posted one "update" to the story, indicating that Logan would be released from the hospital the following day.

Yet HuffPost completely ignored reports that CBS News and other sources claimed Ms. Logan's attackers shouted "JEW!!! JEW!!!" as they assaulted her.

Why did HuffPost omit this critical aspect of the story? If the religions were reversed --- if it were a story about 200 Jewish men who kidnapped and gang-raped a female Muslim journalist, while shouting "MUSLIM!!! MUSLIM!!!" --- would HuffPost also completely ignore it? Anyone who's paid attention to our deep documentation of HuffPost's approach to Israeli and Jewish affairs knows with 100% certainty that it would give such a story 72pt red headline treatment (like this, or this) for a week.

HuffPost's decision to ignore that part of the Logan story was the latest manifestation of its long-documented anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias. Specifically, as we document below (Section 3):

• HuffPost routinely publishes on its front page inflammatory allegations against Jews, for which it knows there is no proof.

• HuffPost routinely ignores or buries documented acts and threats of savage violence against Jews by radical Islamists.

This article is divided into three parts:

(1) How we know that HuffPost completely ignored reports Ms. Logan's attackers shouted "JEW!!! JEW!!!" as they assaulted her.
.
(2) The "news" items that HuffPost decided to publish on its front page and World page, instead of anything regarding this aspect of story.
.
(3) How HuffPost's actions in this regard compare to its historic approach to covering inflammatory accusations against Jews... and against radical Islamists

---

(1) How we know that HuffPost completely ignored reports Ms. Logan's attackers shouted "JEW!!! JEW!!!" as they assaulted her.

HuffPost published its version of the story about Ms. Logan's abduction and attack on Feb. 15 at 4:23pm.

Nine hours later, on Feb. 16 at 1:19am, the New York Post broke the following story:

"60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by thugs yelling, "Jew! Jew!" as she covered the chaotic fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo's main square Friday, CBS and sources said yesterday.

Soon thereafter, the Jerusalem Post, Fox News, the Boston Herald, and conservative, pro-Jewish and pro-Israeli blogs all began publicizing the story. Given the fact that HuffPost has a crack team of 53 "editors" who pull insane "news" stories from the most obscure corners of the Web (example 1, 2, 3), it is simply not credible to assert that it was unaware of this report. Yet HuffPost completely ignored it. How do we know? Easy.

First, here's a screencap of HuffPost's story page as of Feb. 19. Notice that the only update was that "Ms. Logan is reportedly being released from the hospital on Wednesday," meaning Feb. 16 --- and meaning that this "update" was posted on Tuesday, Feb. 15.


Second, here's a PDF that was taken of a search at HuffPost using the term "Lara Logan" --- on Feb. 17 at 12:18pm, nearly 36 hours after the New York Post story broke. Do you notice anything missing? There's not a single news story that mentioned anything regarding anyone shouting, "Jew!!!"


Even HuffPost's selection and positioning of blog articles on the Logan attack reflect its anti-Semitic bias --- and its willingness to protect radical Islamists.

HuffPost also published a number of blog articles (opinion pieces) pertaining to the Logan attack --- and its actions in this regard further reflect its anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias:

• At 11:30am on Feb. 16 --- ten hours after reports broke that Ms. Logan's attackers were yelling, "JEW!!! JEW!!!" --- HuffPost decided to publish near the top of its front page a blog article by Islamist-apologizing "anthropologist." It falsely claimed that there's nothing inherent in the radical Islamist mindset (which is dominant in Egypt) that leads to women and girls being subjected to savage brutality. Perhaps this scholar, and HuffPost's crack team of worldly editors, are unaware of this, this and this (caution: graphic media). Because of the prominent positioning that HuffPost gave the piece, it got 741 user comments as of Feb. 18.

• On Feb. 17, HuffPost published a blog article that described the reality of the widespread abuse of females in Egypt, without reference to any religion. But HuffPost placed this story somewhere beyond public view --- not on the front page, and not on the World page (we know, because we checked). Because of its obscure positioning, the piece only got 7 user comments as of Feb. 18.
  

---

(2) So what kinds of "news" items did HuffPost decide were more important to publish on its front page and World page?

Here's a sampling of the "news" stories that HuffPost decided to publish on its front page, on Feb. 17-18 (clockwise from top left):

(1) Ironically, just beneath the splash headline was "Arianna discusses her editorial vision"
(2) Just beneath that was "Transsexual model on Oprah"
(3) A little further down: A picture of Bill O'Reilly defaced with clown makeup
(4) Kitten dress-up - "An orgy of cuteness"

And here's a sampling of the "news" stories that HuffPost decided to publish on its World page, on Feb. 17-18 (clockwise from top left):

(1) "Nazi 3D films from 1936 discovered"
(2) "Pick-up artist teaches Chinese men the art of seduction" (posted 2/14)
(3) "Berlusconi's teen lover wants to be compensated"
(4) "Female anchor mocks co-host's manhood live on-air"

HuffPost decided that these stories were more important for its global audience to be aware of, than reports from CBS and other sources that Lara Logan's attackers yelled "JEW!!! JEWS!!!" as they beat and sexually assaulted her?

---

(3) How HuffPost's actions in this regard compare to its historic approach to covering inflammatory accusations against Jews... and against radical Islamists

Our archive of documentation of HuffPost's anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias is overflowing with examples of the double-standard it applies to its coverage of Jewish vs. Muslim/Islamist news, issues and inflammatory content. Following are some highlights, with links to the master documentation.

As you peruse these examples, and consider the pattern of HuffPost editorial decisions that produced them, keep in the back of your mind the question we asked earlier:

Do you think if a gang of 200 Jews kidnapped a female Muslim reporter, and gang-raped her while shouting "MUSLIM!!! MUSLIM!!!," HuffPost might give it some coverage?

But rather than speculating, let's focus on HuffPost's specific historic acts and omissions that give clear indication of its bias concerning radical Islamist and Jewish affairs, and that bear relation to what happened to Ms. Logan.


(a) HuffPost routinely publishes on its front page inflammatory allegations against Jews, for which it knows there is no proof.

HuffPost may claim that it had no triple-checked, hard evidence with which to support CBS's and other sources' allegations about the Egyptian men yelling "JEW!!! JEW!!!" at Ms. Logan as they beat and assaulted her. If that were its journalistic standard (which it isn't), then there is no explanation for the following:

• When Israeli Jews were accused of murdering Palestinian Muslims to "harvest their organs," HuffPost published the story prominently on its front page ---- even though the "journalist" admitted in the story that he had "no idea, no clue" if the allegations were true or not. Yet when numerous reports came out soon thereafter that revealed (a) the allegation is medically impossible, and (b) the Palestinian family at the center of the story denied ever making the allegation, HuffPost completely ignored them. (Link)
  

• When the Israeli military merely detained a female Palestinian journalist, HuffPost put the story on its front page, along with her face and her allegations of her "interrogation," without knowing whether or not it was PallyWood propaganda (Link; screencap below, left).

• When a group of unruly rabbis reportedly "spit on" what HuffPost claimed is a "seasoned" journalist, again, HuffPost put that on its front page --- even though there was zero proof, and it turns out the "journalist" had just been exposed for her anti-Israel bias (Link; screencap below, center).

• When the notorious, jihadist-celebrating al-Jazeera posted a totally unverifiable smear --- alleging that Israeli guards "humiliated" a female detainee --- HuffPost ran it right on its front page, not knowing whether it was PallyWood propaganda (Link; screencap below, right).

• "Outrageous Statements": HuffPost periodically runs items on its front page alluding to "outrageous statements" by Israeli officials and religious figures. (Link) Yet it pathologically ignores, and has never run a comparable analysis of "outrageous statements" by Hamas, Hezbollah and other radical Islamist terror groups --- which tend to include genocidal threats. (Link; more, more)

(b) HuffPost routinely ignores or buries documented acts and threats of savage violence against Jews by radical Islamists.

Conversely, even when HuffPost has direct access to abundant physical proof of radical Islamists' savagery --- such as Hamas's own words, and pictures of it celebrating its murder of Jewish civilians --- it pathologically refuses to feature any of it.

• In December 2010, HuffPost gave front-page coverage of Hamas's claim that it was committed to a "cease-fire" with Israel. Yet in the prior weeks, HuffPost completely ignored every one of Hamas's admitted rocket attacks and attempts to murder Jews, and its genocidal threats against them. Instead, it published "news" stories on its front page such as color pictures of Hitler at Christmas (which it'd been running for four days straight), video of chimpanzees opening Christmas presents, etc. (Link; more)
  

• Our special report, "HuffPost's pathological anti-Semitic bias: Children's edition," documented the fact that it buried, then quickly removed the story of Hamas's targeting and murder of four Jewish civilians --- including a mother of six who was nine months pregnant. It also completely ignored the names and pictures of the victims and their funeral --- as well as pictures of Hamas leading jubilant celebrations in Gaza over this "heroic act" --- all of which were readily-available. Yet when militant Islamists are killed by Israel in the course of attempting to arrest them, or sneaking into Israel, HuffPost routinely twists the stories to make them appear as "victims," features their names and pictures, and coverage of their funerals. More here, here, here.
  

  (Inset: 9-year-old Hodoya Imes, seen at the funeral of her father and mother --- who was nine months pregnant --- at the time they were targeted and machine-gunned to death by Hamas. If only the Imes weren't Jewish, perhaps HuffPost would have given this outrage a scrap of the personal coverage it gives to militant Islamists who get killed.)
  

• When Israel was blamed for a cross-border dispute with Lebanon, HuffPost put the story on its front page. Yet when it was revealed that Israel was the victim, and that Lebanon/Hezbollah had murdered a beloved IDF officer, HuffPost moved the story to a secondary page, then quickly removed it. HuffPost ignored the personal story of the IDF officer, refusing even to publish his name or picture --- yet decided that "news" stories about a parasailing donkey, and a woman who paints with her nipples, were more important to post --- and keep posted for days on end. (Link)

• As noted above, HuffPost has a fetish for giving coverage to what it deems "outrageous statements" made by Israeli politicians and religious figures. Yet when when HuffPost's Middle East correspondent was given an exclusive interview with a top Hamas leader, she asked him not a single question about its "outrageous statements" (some of which she actually echoed). Further, it ran the story on its front page, and even allowed her to lash out against users who criticized her fawning approach. (Link)

ACTION ITEMS

Until February 5, 2011, the audience being subjected to HuffPost's malicious anti-Semitic, pro-Islamist bias was 24 million visitors per month. But on February 6, when Arianna became head of all AOL content --- including its "news" --- her audience grew by a factor of 12, to nearly 300 million people.

UPDATES

Feb. 20, 6:40pm: Thanks to reader "JJ," we learn that in regards to the Lara Logan story, HuffPost is only slightly less biased than the terrorist-friendly, notorious Al-Jazeera, which it has repeatedly used as a "news" source, and even allowed to advertise on its pages. If you go to Al-Jazeera and enter "Lara Logan" as the search term, guess what? One article appears --- from 2007:


Then again, as we documented here, in some cases HuffPost is actually more anti-Semitic than Al Qaeda's network-of-choice.

9/1/10 onward: Updates on HuffPost's (mis)coverage of Hamas slaughter of Israeli Jews

.

Continued from 8/31/10: HuffPost spits in eyes of murdered Israelis (again), shills for Hamas (again); cyber-jihadis unleash hate-fest (HuffPost: "Approved!!!")

As you read through the following, keep in mind that HuffPost:

• Is the most powerful, #1 most-read blog in the world, and a top-ten U.S. "news" site
  .
  
• Has repeatedly claimed it is "nonpartisan" in its news coverage, and is dedicated to "ferret[ing] out the truth, consequences be damned"

If you'd like to share your thoughts on this matter with HuffPost's senior management (politely, please) here's how.


================

UPDATE 1, Sept. 1: HuffPost re-buries on secondary page the story of Hamas murder of four Israeli civilians, to make room for more crap stories on its front page.

Sometime between last night and this morning, HuffPost re-buried the Hamas murder story back on its World page:


HuffPost's crack team of 53 "editors" that apparently did this so they could use that space on its front page for items they deemed were of crucial importance, such as: Conan names new show; a fistfight among women soccer players; a new resort for men and their virtual girlfriends; and its original reporting on a man who gave up a scheme to dance for his rent.

As you review this, keep in mind that as we documented here, HuffPost removed the story of Lebanon's murder of IDF Lt. Col Dov Harari after a few hours --- but left up for an entire week straight the stories of an injured elephant, and Churchill's belief in UFOs. Nope, no anti-Israel bias at HuffPost.



================

UPDATE 2, Sept. 1: HuffPost completely ignores Hamas's second attack on Jewish civilians --- and its threats to continue its campaign of savage terror and murder --- but keeps posting crap.

HuffPost has been busy posting crucial stories of global importance on its front page, such as a death-match between a mongoose and a cobra, a "traumatized" passenger who's suing an airline, and decor changes in the Oval Office.

Amidst all this busy-ness, HuffPost's crack team of 53 "editors" just happened to conveniently miss the story of Hamas's second attempted murder of Israeli civilians. From Haaretz, which HuffPost regularly uses --- when it wants to:

Two Israelis wounded in second West Bank shooting attack in two days

Excerpt (emphasis added):

[Hamas] said in a short SMS message sent to reporters on Wednesday that its militants opened fire at an Israeli car and wounded two Israelis, one of them seriously.

"This attack is a message to those who promised that Hebron attack, which was carried out on Tuesday, won't be repeated again," said the group's SMS message.

The victims are a couple, both in their 30s. One of the victims of the attack has been identified as Moshe Moreno, who is a rabbi for a pre-army program in the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Efrayim. He is listed as in serious condition. His wife, who was riding in the car with him, was also lightly injured in the attack.

================

UPDATE 3, Sept. 1: HuffPost: "Huh? What photos of Gaza Muslims celebrating the murder of Israeli Jews? We only publish staged Pallywood propaganda pictures, sorry."

A few months ago in The HuffPost-PallyWood propaganda machine, unplugged, we documented how far HuffPost was willing to go to shill for Gaza Muslims --- nearly 70% of whom support suicide bombings against civilians (a fact HuffPost neglected to mention):


Yet when photos emerged that documented an estimated 3,000 Gaza Muslims erupting in celebrations over Hamas's murder of four Israeli Jews, and its threat to continue these savage attacks, HuffPost completely ignored them:

How is it that all these sources (here, here, here, elsewhere) --- none of whom have a crack team of 53 "editors" like HuffPost does --- are able to access Reuters photos, and those on Hamas's official website, but HuffPost can't? Maybe one day, someone in a position of influence will ask HuffPost about that.


================

UPDATE 4, Sept. 2: HuffPost completely ignores the personal stories and funeral of the four murdered Israeli Jews, and associated pictures.

HuffPost has a fetish for telling the personal stories of people who are killed --- provided they are militant Islamists, and provided Israel is being blamed for it. For example:

• HuffPost decided to give a full-bore, original tribute to Furkan Doğan --- whose family took him to Turkey at age two, but HuffPost referred to as an "American" --- was one of the "peace activists" killed on the Gaza terror flotilla. Note: Doğan claimed --- in the hours before the ambush of the IDF --- that his objective was to become "a martyr," a claim also made by militant Islamists on the ship. HuffPost apparently forgot to include that little tidbit in its loving tribute.
  .
  
• When a top Hamas murderer was killed in a Dubai hotel, HuffPost inserted his name in the headline; it did the same thing for another Hamas murderer who was killed in a firefight with the IDF, while it was trying to arrest him (in HuffPost's story, he's labeled an "activist"). Documented here and here.
  .
  
• When a Palestinian journalist was merely detained by the IDF, HuffPost ran a big picture of her (right), and identified her by name.
  Yet when a militant Islamist hacked a 16 year old Israeli boy to death with an axe, HuffPost did not run the boy's picture in the story, even though it was available at the time via Google. Documented here and here.
  

HuffPost has given no coverage to the personal stories, or even the names of the Israeli Jews who were victims of Hamas's slaughter, all of which was readily available from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website:

The victims were named as Yitzhak Ames, 47, and his wife Talya Ames, 45 (right) Kochava Even Chaim, 37, and Avishai Shindler, 24, all from Beit Hagai. [...] Yitzhak and Talya Ames were the parents of six children.

Talya Ames was nine months pregnant when she was killed by the terrorists. Kochava Even Chaim was a teacher in Efrat. She left behind her husband and an 8 year-old daughter. Her husband,one of the first Zaka first aid volunteers to arrive at the scene, discovered that his wife was among the victims. Avishai Shindler had only recently moved to Beit Haggai with his wife.

Kochava was a teacher in Efrat. Her husband Maimon, one of the first Zaka first aid volunteers to arrive at the scene, discovered that his wife was among the victims. Meir Damari, a resident of Beit Hagai said, "Only after many years of trying did Kochava manage to get pregnant and bring a child into the world. Now she is left without a mother," he said sadly.

Avishai, who recently completed his studies at the Shavei Hebron Yeshiva, had only recently moved to Beit Hagai with his wife Moriah after their marriage a year ago. "He and his wife quickly integrated in life in the community here. Avishai was always full of energy and joy," Meir Damari, a resident of Beit Hagai said.

And here are the funeral pictures that HuffPost ignored (from here, here, here, elsewhere on the Web):

So what types of "personal stories" did HuffPost decide were more important for its global audience to be aware of, and to publish on its front page, instead of this one? Here's a sampling:

Bikini pictures of Demi Moore

Tennis Player COLLAPSES At U.S. Open

A "traumatized" passenger who's suing an airline

'Housewife' Teresa: How We Blew $11 Million

You get the idea. Nope, no anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, militant Islamist-protecting bias at HuffPost, folks.

Update, Sept. 2: HuffPost keeps the story of the "traumatized" passenger who's suing an airline right up on its front page:

================

UPDATE 5, Sept. 2: HuffPost removes story about first Hamas attack, and doesn't publish article on second one --- but re-publishes Narwani's softball "interview" with Hamas chief propagandist, next to inconsequential stories about... Hitler.

Continuing its depraved pattern of downplaying, then quickly ignoring violence against Jews --- while acting as a PR forum for militant Islamists --- here's a screencap of HuffPost's "World" page at 10:10 this morning:


So how long do you think HuffPost decided to leave the stories about the Nazi ballerina and Hitler on its "World" page?

Would you believe... an entire week, straight?

So basically, HuffPost has decided that these stories --- of zero consequence to anything that is happening today --- are more important to devote space to on its World page, than to militant Islamists' savage acts of murder against Israeli Jews, and threats to commit genocide. Got it.

Wait, maybe there actually is a useful connection... because back in the 1930s, there was probably a printed equivalent of the Huffington Post, and it looked a lot like this version --- right before it began openly advocating for the extermination of Jews altogether.
