Meryl Yourish catches Reuters in the moral equivalence pose once again. In an article describing advances in Israel’s anti-missile program, code-named Nautilus, Reuters can’t help but get a jab in:
A laser beam under joint Israeli-U.S. development destroyed a long-range rocket for the first time in a test in the skies over the American Southwest, Israel’s Defense Ministry said on Friday.
Israel sees the Nautilus as another potential countermeasure to possible ballistic attack by enemies, which would include most Arab states and Iran. In turn, they see Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal as the biggest strategic threat to the region.
