Reply #44: The loaded questions

[Gimel]

The European poll which comes to mind in comparison, asked questions about the Holocaust and whether the Jews have overplayed this. That is something al Jazeera played up to in claiming that Europeans are urging Jews to drop the Holocaust as an issue.

Or in Haaretz, the same poll:

35 percent said Jews should stop "playing the victim" for the Holocaust.

So therefore, one can surprise that approximately 65% think that Jews should not stop "playing the victim" for the Holocaust. This is of course, the more significant finding. Yet, al Jazeera points out that
"Jews urged to stop playing Holocaust victim" for the title of their article on the survey.

Not only is the question leading, but the presentation is reversing the results to make an impression that is misleading.
