CNN'S Amanpour and Pro Palestinian Bias

A few nights ago I watched Christiane Amanpour, of CNN, interview Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of a Hamas founder. Mosab recently revealed that he worked as an agent for Israel's Shin Bet security service. 


He told Amanpour that he was against hate and for love and that he worked as an agent, "to save lives."  


Amanpour pressed the issue and asked, "yes, but how did it save Palestinian lives?" 


Was she implying that one only attempts to stop a suicide bombing on a bus-load of civilians if they are your own group? Would she have asked a double agent of the USA, "how did it save Afghani lives?" I doubt that. But if someone helps a bus-load of Jews not get blown up, it would only make sense if it somehow only saved the Jews as a byproduct of helping his own people.

A New Day in Israel?

Shin Bet: 2009 was first year in decade without suicide attacks

What a terribly sad reality.

On the other hand, it is better than not.

The question is, now that the Palestinians are no longer resorting to these terror tactics, will it lead to a resumption of peace talks?

For many years I have heard Israelis and others beg the Palestinians to stop using suicide bombers. They pleaded and demanded and they swore that if the Palestinians were not resorting to such tactics the Israelis would be able to make great concessions for peace.

So let's see what happens.

On the other hand, it makes no difference if they tried to use suicide bombers and were simply unsuccessful. The article does not reveal whether or not suicide bombings were attempted and thwarted.
