Our latest Watchdog of the Week is regular HonestReporting Mission speaker Elliot Chodoff.

Elliot, who lives in northern Israel, is a political and military analyst specializing in the Middle East conflict and the global war on terrorists. You can find out more about him here.

He sent us the mailing he received from Foreign Policy magazine and asked us: Can you spot how many times FP notes who has been carrying out stabbing attacks on Israelis?

And the answer is… none.

Is it too much to ask that Palestinians are held responsible for attacking Israelis? For Foreign Policy it seems so.
