As the week progressed, the extent of Hamas&#8217; atrocities became more apparent. They targeted\u2064 the most vulnerable, committing acts of rape, murder, \u200band violence against women, children, and infants.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro criticized the \u200dmedia \u2062for downplaying Hamas&#8217; true intentions, claiming they pretend it&#8217;s merely a territorial dispute when in reality, Hamas openly expresses its desire to kill Jews.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And the entire\u2062 American \u2063media looks the other way and pretends it&#8217;s not happening,&#8221; Shapiro added. &#8220;They&#8217;ll say, &#8216;Well, but we can examine your ulterior motive. We can tell\u2062 what you&#8217;re really thinking.&#8217; And this really goes to the\u2063 absolute arrogance of Western liberals and that\u200d is [believing] &#8216;everyone thinks like they do.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The media buys into that same nonsense\u2062 because when it comes to this particular conflict, the media has decided in their heads that the \u2064Western country has \u2063to be wrong \u200bby nature,&#8221; \u200bShapiro argued. &#8220;And \u200bbecause it&#8217;s wrong \u200bby nature, that means that anything\u2062 that happens to that country \u200cmust have inevitably\u2062 been caused\u200d by\u2062 the &#8216;occupation.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro\u200b pointed out\u200c that the media spins the Israel-Hamas conflict \u200bas a result of Israel&#8217;s \u200d&#8221;oppressive occupation,&#8221; despite the fact that Israel \u2063withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The victims of the Hamas\u2064 attack\u200b are living in unoccupied areas&#8230; They&#8217;re \u2062living in the south of Israel, which has been a part of Israel since 1947-48. And even the people getting slaughtered are disproportionately\u2064 people of the political \u2064Left,&#8221; Shapiro emphasized, highlighting how \u200dHamas targeted young people at a \u2062dance festival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2063 doesn&#8217;t matter to them at all. The facts \u200bare completely irrelevant to the narrative,&#8221; Shapiro concluded.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has the American media demonstrated bias in their coverage \u2064of\u2064 the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to Ben Shapiro?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ia has \u200bconsistently shown a blatant bias in their \u200dcoverage of \u200cthe Israel-Hamas\u200d conflict. They have gone \u200dso far as to ignore or downplay the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-declares-war-for-first-time-since-1973\/\" title=\"Israel wages war for the first time since 1973.\">relentless rocket attacks<\/a> by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians, while simultaneously condemning Israel&#8217;s efforts to defend itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro went on \u2062to explain how the American media has failed to \u2064accurately portray the true nature of Hamas, instead presenting them\u200c as a legitimate political organization\u2064 fighting for the rights \u200cof \u2062Palestinians. He highlighted the fact that Hamas \u2064is recognized\u2062 as a terrorist organization \u200dby the United States, the \u2062European Union, and other countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The American\u200c media&#8217;s willingness \u200cto align themselves with Hamas is not only \u2064morally reprehensible, but it also contributes \u200cto the perpetuation of violence in the region,&#8221; Shapiro asserted. &#8220;By giving legitimacy and a platform to a terrorist organization, they are effectively legitimizing\u2062 their \u2062actions and encouraging further violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also criticized the media for not holding Hamas accountable for the suffering it\u200d has caused to both Israelis and Palestinians. Shapiro\u200d highlighted the fact that Hamas uses human shields, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-talks-israel-with-mark-levin-slams-absolutely-despicable-legacy-media-for-drawing-moral-parity-between-israel-and-its-enemies\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin discuss Israel, criticize media for equating Israel with its enemies.\">deliberately placing innocent civilians<\/a> in\u200c harm&#8217;s way, and yet the media fails to \u2062condemn these\u2063 tactics or acknowledge \u2062the responsibility of Hamas for\u2064 the resulting casualties.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro concluded\u200b his\u200b scathing critique by calling on the\u200c American media to\u200b uphold their responsibility to report\u2062 the truth \u2064without bias. He urged them to acknowledge the reality of \u200bthe \u200csituation \u2062and to hold \u200dHamas accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Journalists have a duty to present the facts\u2064 objectively, without taking sides or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bloomberg-flubs-data-for-bombshell-report-that-only-6-of-new-corporate-hires-are-white\/\" title=\"Bloomberg's report on low white corporate hires is flawed.\">perpetuating false narratives<\/a>. It is\u2063 their\u200c responsibility to inform the public, not to advocate for a particular political\u2064 agenda,&#8221; Shapiro stated. &#8220;The American people deserve better than\u200d biased and\u200d skewed reporting. They deserve the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This powerful critique by Ben Shapiro highlights the alarming trend\u2062 of media bias in the United States. It \u2064serves as a reminder of the importance of impartial journalism and the need for\u200b media \u2064organizations to prioritize \u2064truth \u2063and accuracy in their reporting. Only \u2064by doing so can we \u200bhope to have a more informed public and a more just and peaceful world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Shapiro criticized the American legacy media for siding with Hamas following their brutal attack on Israel.
