Hamas performs a war crime on video. World media ignores it.

🚨WATCH: 5 Armed terrorists operated under the cover of a fake emblem of @WCKitchen placed on a vehicle in Gaza - and were eliminated from the air.

The terrorists deliberately affixed the emblem and wore yellow vests in an attempt to conceal their activity and avoid being… pic.twitter.com/BoeHN6SFsW

This is the war crime of perfidy. We can see it. World Central Kitchen confirms it wasn't there vehicle. Hamas (presumably) pretended to be aid workers to shield themselves from being targeted. This puts all humanitarian workers in Gaza at risk.

An, as I write this ten hours after Israeli and Jewish media covered the story, nearly no one else decided that this was newsworthy.

The only exceptions were the New York Post, CNN and Newsweek.

CNN mentioned it, buried the WCK statement, and then spends more space talking about how there wasn't enough aid in Gaza than on the story itself.

Newsweek put "fake aid workers" in scare quotes, and then watered down the story by adding:

Late last month, The New York Times published an op-ed by Andrés titled "The World Cannot Stand By With Gaza on the Brink of Famine." In it, he disputed Israel's claims of Hamas looting humanitarian aid convoys and criticized what he called a "blockade" imposed by Israel against sufficient levels of food entering Gaza.

It's funny that this is the context that it decides to publish, and not mention that the UN's own statistics show that WCK collected 444 trucks of food since late May, of which 346 - 78% - were intercepted by armed terrorists.

Isn't that relevant when the head of an organization denies any such problem?

But as of this writing, the New York Times didn't report it. Reuters didn't either. AP buried it at the very bottom of an article on a different Gaza story. The Washington Post published yet another "starving Gaza" story but didn't say a word about this one.

Usually, when there is video showing an actual war crime happening, it gets media coverage. But not when Hamas does it. No legal experts consulted to explain the war crime of perfidy. Israel's video is doubted - is it really Hamas? Maybe it is a bunch of other Gazans who have the resources to paint a WCK logo on a vehicle?

The real way to see media bias is to see what the media chooses not to report. This story is proof positive that an event that has every attribute of a compelling story - terrorists caught in the act on video - is largely ignored by the media whose job is to inform the public of what it going on.

If you are wondering why the world is so anti-Israel, this is a big reason.
