ABC News doesn’t tell us the real story

Those who tune into the ABC regularly would be aware of its anti-Israel bias.

With a certain reluctance various reports on the ABC are telling us about how advanced is Israel’s program of vaccination against Covid-19.

However there is this insistence by the ABC to push the line that Israel is denying vaccines to Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian territories, claiming, as do pro-Palestinian activists, that Israel has a responsibility to be vaccinating Palestinians because Israel is an occupying power.

This tack by the ABC is revealed in this news report, which tells us that Israel is now preventing the ingress of the vaccine to Gaza.

However ABC News conveys the false impression, which is desired by the Palestinian Authority, that Israel is being obstructionist by blocking the entry of the vaccine into Gaza for no good reason.

The ABC neglects telling us that Israel is debating banning COVID-19 vaccines for Gaza until captives released.

The PA doesn’t want to show that it is benefitting from Israel or co-operating with Israel in any way and even went as far as refusing to accept shipments of aid to fight Covid-19 from the UAE because it came via Ben Gurion Airport
