Fact 218: “National Public Radio is an american leftist radio network. NPR’s Ombudsman, Jeffrey A.

NPR is choosing sides: it is giving a clear advantage to Palestinians that choose violence instead of peace, such as the Islamic Jihad, the Hamas, and other terrorist groups. By using the word ‘militant’, NPR is describing their deliberate acts of killing innocent civilians, including many women and children, as legal actions of rebellion”
