Crapy articles from my own school

So after reading the pitt news yesterday, it made me realize how out of touch they are with reality. There was an article about a vigil that took place on Pitt's campus Thursday written by Caitlyn Christensen. Clearly, she has no idea what she is talking about when it comes to what is really going on in this war. Just in the first paragraph the calles Palestine "Hamas-occupied." Occupied? Really? Last time I checked, Hamas was democraticly (you know, democracy, that word that we like to throw around when convienient), this is like saying that on January 20th, the US will be "democrate-occupied." Also, the writter claims that Israel moved into Gaza "with the intended goal of overturning the Hamas infrastrucutre and taking control of Hamas rocket launching sites, whcih were firing explosives into southern Israel." First of all, the writter fails to mention throughout this article that Israel has had a blockade on Gaza for 18 MONTHES. Do we really expect the Palestienians to not respond after something like that? Also, why is it that the author, throughout this article, tries to promote the idea that Palestienians are the agressers? Many times in this articles she tries to make the point that the protesters do not support the actions of Hamas, as if that's what the protest was about. Even when she interviewed Josh Ulrich, he said "The fact that Palestine has survived is retaliation enough" that does not mean that there is no support for Hamas, that is a testiment to Palestienian toughness. Also, how can she take it seriously when an opposing protester stands behind an israeli flag and says he's not pro-Israeli? This article is racist and extremly biased, makes me feel uneasy that my fellow students would write something so ignorant.
