Answer 1

Media bias whitewashes Israeli terrorism




I expected to wake up to read the headline, "Jewish terrorists murder Arabs."

But, of course, that was not to be.

Members of Israel's fanatic settler movement killed three Palestinian civilians, including a 3 and 1/2 month old baby, Diya.

Suddenly, the news media finds a conscience.

They start using terms like "Israeli underground" or "Settler vigilantes," instead of the much harsher terms used to describe similar acts by Palestinians which include "barbaric terrorists," and "blood thirsty Arab killers." One declared cleverly that a "blast" caused the killings.

The conflict between Palestine and Israel has a lot to do with the way the American news media covers the events.

Certain headlines and adjectives describing the attackers play a significant role in how the public responds, and how the political theater acts itself out.

And those perceptions result in assessing blame.

Most people "blame" the Palestinians for the violence, accepting the Israeli contention that former Prime Minister Ehud Barak they gave the Palestinians everything "including Jerusalem" and they opted instead toward violence "to get even more from Israel."

What is not told until nearly a year later is that Palestinian President Yasir Arafat demanded that the Israeli proposal also include compassion for the millions of Palestinian civilians who were forced out of their homes and lands in 1948 and again in 1967. Arafat demanded that these refugees have a "Right of Return" that include a variety of options, with only a few allowing some to actually return to their original homes and land.

Today, my family's homes and lands are occupied by Jewish immigrants who took the homes and the land during the 1948 war. Part of this land is today the settlement of Gilo near Jerusalem.

This disparity in truth sets up Israel in the enviable position of not only having done its part, but suddenly, it is the victim of irrational behavior. Therefore, the Israelis can do no wrong.

The Israelis can kill nearly 600 Palestinian civilians and the news media and the world shrugs it off as a consequence of the Palestinians having refused Barak's peace offer. In contrast, about 100 Israelis are killed, most professional soldiers trained to face war. Every attack is treated like it is the 1972 massacre at the Olympics.

The truth is that Israel is provoking the violence, but most American
journalists are afraid to report that simple truth. Journalists, especially in the West, function under the pressure of peer censorship and pressures, while many in the Arab World function under an environment of government censorship and limitations.

I am not sure which is worse, but I do know that both are wrong. American journalists are always quick to point out the limitations on Arab journalists by their governments as a way of responding to charges that the Western Media is biased against the Arabs.

But the truth is that American journalists in particular operate under a cloud of pressure that prohibits them from reporting the truth about Israel.

This bias is inherent in the professional news media structure and is absorbed by the reporters who don't want to be criticized by the pro-Israeli editors and publishers who manage these media operations.

The news media also goes to great lengths to dissect Israeli actions to the point of anti-Arab precision. There are two kinds of Israeli attacks, one involving Israeli soldiers who are sent in to oppress the Palestinian civilians. All are considered "defensive" and therefore "justified."

The presence of Israeli soldiers in Arab areas is the primary cause of the current violence and the provocation that pushes many frustrated and desperate Palestinian civilians to acts of violence of their own.

The second is the kind involving the fanatic settler movement. Israeli settlers are among the worst fanatics in the world, even though the media seems consumed only with the so-called "Islamic fanatic." These Israeli settlers have been engaged in a hate war against the Palestinians with the goal of killing Arabs and stealing their lands.

They have been doing it since the founding of the State of Israel and they have culled this campaign of hate to a fine art.

Arab acts of rebellion against the occupation fall under the term "Intifadah," and involve everything. Every act of Arab resistance that results in an Israeli death, injury or simple assault is described as an act of "terrorism."

We all want the conflict to come to a peaceful resolution.

But we will not get there if we allow the news media to distort the truth, downplay the crimes of Israel, and deny the Palestinians the compassion and understanding they deserve.

Answer 2

Why do some people stereotype and lump whole nations or groups or races into one catigory?

My friend, I know or have worked for many Jews and have yet met one who wanted to be pitied.

And I don't think the Israeli nation, or their army, needs or wants, pity. They have been kicking butt and defending themselves quite well ever since the 1960s.

Before opening your mouth try learning something about history.

Answer 3

I feel sorry for the Poor defenseless Islamo-Fascists. Why would Israel want to attack them?

Is it due to the daily rockets sent into Israel from Gaza and Lebanon?

Is it due to the bombs placed in Israeli pizza parlors and buses and schools?

Is it due to the dozens of time Israel as offered to live at peace with their neighbors and have been rejected?

I just hope that the Islamo-Fascist and their supporters get their fondest wish: 72 virgins and very soon.

Answer 4

What wrongs has Israel done? THey tried to live up to their end of the roadmap to PEACE. They moved their settlements out of Gaza,
they tried talks with Hamas. And what did they get in return? Thier soldiers kidnapped, civilians killed by suicide bombers on a consistant basis.
I don't think they want pity from anybody, especially from close minded individuals like yourself. Israel has had enough, and I support them and I really can\t believe that we haven't started shelling Gaza and southern Lebanon yet. We need to engage hezbollah and hamas right now, Israel has done the suprise attack and we need to get in there and deliver the KO punch to hezbollah, hamas and Syria and Iran right now. Launch those damn nukes NOW!!!!!!

Answer 5

People have compassion for Jewish people because they have been relentlessly persecuted for decades.

People do criticize Israel at times, but overall, it's just obvious that they are trying to defend themselves against the crazy people that surround them.

Answer 6

Yeah i know for their wrongs. I can't actually believe that Israel defended itself against nations that killed Israeli civilians and kidnapped a soldier! I knwo israel must be evil!~11!111!1

Answer 7

after all....the country that surrounded them want to make them extinct...

but hay...thats just a conspiracy to make everyone pity the israelies...right??

Answer 8

You are misinformed.

They don't need our pity and they have survived just fine for many hundreds of years without our help. You can never accuse a Jew of feeling sorry for himself. They have suffered more than any other race and will continue surviving many more years, with or without our help, they are survivors...
