Ok, it is al-Jazira television but the story is nonetheless revealing. It is about the Gaza airport and how Gazans are mining it for building stones, destroying the runways in the process. The reporter, with no hint of actually reporting, seethes with anger and hatred as she blames Israel for everything, never mentioning the virtually non-stop war Hamas has conducted against Israel.

But the good bit is this: the reporter says that Israel has bombed the airport for 10 years, reducing the buildings to rubble. Yet you can see at the beginning that the runways are in superb conditions, with no dents or potholes, and the attractive buildings right behind her are in perfect shape.
