FDD’s Arab media analyst Avi Jorisch tells me Al-Jazeera’s continuous coverage of Yassir Arafat’s death has been “disappointing, to say the least.”
“Al-Jazeera’s Doha studio is currently featuring a montage of pictures of the deceased leader with the word ‘RESISTANCE’ in the middle.
“As of this afternoon, al-Jazeera had not interviewed one moderate Arab leader, or any American or Israeli officials. Instead, Al-Jazeera has interviewed members of the PLO, Hamas and Palestinians who are calling for the new Palestinian leadership to follow the path of continued terrorism.”
