Is Yahoo News' bias against Israel politically motivated?

In photo blurbs about the Palestinian Nakba demonstrations, they said this...

Nakba, or catastrophe, marks Israel's founding in 1948 war, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced to leave their homes.

Had they stopped at... Nakba, or catastrophe, marks Israel's founding in 1948. It would have been simple, factually accurate reporting. They could have followed it up with an informational addendum that Arab nations launched a war against Israel in which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced to leave their homes.

Ramming the two ideas together, they seem to be naming the event as "The Israel's Founding in 1948 War" a very cumbersome name for a war. Or they are saying that the founding of Israel was a war in an of itself. This remarkably biased view is hateful toward the State of Israel. I think Yahoo should be ashamed of this bias.

    Sorta, Kinda, but I don't really think it is Intentionally Anti-Semitic,

    It is just Dyed-In-The-Wool Liberal Bias, and right now, hating on Israel is the liberal mantra.

    it just IS what It Is!

    Although I can't really figure it out, and since most American Jews are life-long DEMONcrats, they are hurting themselves, because if they keep dissing Israel, the Jews may just start voting Republican, because most strong evangelical Christians are rather Pro Israel, because we see them as our Spiritual brothers.

    Yahoo information isn't biased! Israel is for sale, as established being obnoxious, causing fights, and making others depressing of their section. Yahoo is basically reporting what warmongering little Israel is doing. Get actual. The Jewish people will under no circumstances end bitchin' about what befell to itself as far back as earlier Moses wandered about for 40 years without soliciting for guidelines each and every time he got here to an oasis...Israelis basically can not forgive and ignore, the previous has to stay alive, they get some type of power from moaning about how undesirable existence is, or became. each and every custom had it 'undesirable' quicker or later, yet Israel complains ad nauseam about historic heritage. that's the Jewish situation, if a guy will develop right into a health practitioner his mom whines he did not develop right into a legal specialist. If someone is Jewish and wealthy, they whine about breaking granny's believe fund if you must fix a Hamptons living house and under no circumstances use income. everybody is biased hostile to the Jewish people. properly ... Israel desires to only advance up and make peace with everybody, consisting of the previous. examine out what's been occurring in Africa for hundreds of years, wiping out total tribes, undesirable torture and anhilation, does Israel provide a hoot about that god undesirable element of on a daily basis residing? now unlikely, they don't look to be Jewish. possibly there's a Jewish "whine" and kvetch gene?

    We can spin the story any which way we want. And we can keep on spinning it until the Palestinians become a memory. Then maybe the State of Israel will have convinced us of its benevolence, that it rid the world of terrorists, or some other worthy contribution to civilization. If we retain some iota of sanity from all the propaganda and repression, we may still not believe the spin.

    Well maybe, Yahoo who a very Liberal infested thing and they might follow Liberal party ideals such as to go against Israel. Now I think a little bit of racism might be added into that as well. When you think about it, look how Liberal talk about the Jews here or about people like me (Mexican), you would think were we back in the 1840's.

    Liberals love to act this way but get mad if you call them out on it.

    They should be ashamed... I doubt they will be. I'm surprised they allowed you to post this question.
