Media anti-semitism on display in one question

Sky News U.K. anti-semitism on display in one question.
Sky News’ Kay Burley, ahead of the hostage release, asked Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy:
“I was talking to a hostage negotiator this morning,” Burley said. “He made the comparison between the 50 hostages that Hamas has promised to release, as opposed to the 150 prisoners that are Palestinians that Israel has released. And he made the comparison between the numbers and the fact that ‘Does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are not valued as highly as Israeli lives?'”
“That is an astonishing accusation!” Levy said. “If we could release one prisoner for every one hostage, we would obviously do that. We’re operating in horrific circumstances. We’re not choosing to release these prisoners who have blood on their hands. We are talking about people who have been convicted of stabbing and shooting attacks.”
“Notice the question of proportionality doesn’t interest Palestinian supporters when they’re able to get more of their prisoners out,” Levy said. “But really, it is outrageous to suggest that the fact that we are willing to release prisoners who are convicted of terrorism offenses, more of them than we are getting our own innocent children back, somehow suggests that we don’t care about Palestinian lives? Really, that’s a disgusting accusation!
