Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the closure of the occupied West Bank, immediately following two Palestinian gunmen opening fire Friday on an Israeli military checkpoint, wounding at least five.

Videos from the scene depict a firefight between the Palestinian gunmen and Israeli forces that lasted at least several minutes with repeated bursts of gunfire ringing out. In one Reuters video, an Israeli responder yells that the shooting has been going on for at least 20 minutes and they were struggling to remove the wounded from the scene.

How many days is it until the election in Israel?

Not saying that it isn't a real incident but still curious timing that will definitely be used for the next week that Netanyahu has left to try and remain in control.
Until the next jailer in chief gets in.

I think it is because it's CNN not Fox News.

Antisemitic is a bad term in this context as Palestinians are also Semitic.

Usually Americans love when the victim fights back against the bully, so I don't get why the US isn't unified against Israel.

I mean, I do get it. Propaganda and politics as a team sport...

No it's not, there are no Semitic people only Semitic languages. Antisemitism has alwats meant anti-jewish prejudice (at least until pro-apartheid fucks twisted and weaponized it to also mean criticizing Israel).

"Five Israelis"???

hours after two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli military checkpoint, killing two soldiers. Three more soldiers were lightly wounded in the attack in the city of Hebron,

So we are talking about five Israeli soldiers. You know, under the UN Charter, those are perfectly legitimate military targets for palestinian armed resistance to an illegal occupation.

Yes even when Palestinians resistance resists perfectly, CNN will obscure they targeted only military targets.

Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group formerly used in connection with ancient and modern peoples of the Middle East including Akkadians, Arabs, Ammonites, Arameans, Canaanites, Edomites, Israelites, Jews, Judahites, Moabites, Phoenicians, Samaritans, and others. Use of the terminology is now largely confined to the field of linguistics in reference to "Semitic.

I think my point stands.

Yes, an obsolete term. The exact passage you cite says your point doesn't stand. Nobody is prejudiced against a language family.
