Did you know that once upon a time, thousands of Israelis and Palestinians showed a procession on the streets of Jerusalem, to demand peace. And guess what, it was never shown on the US media.
Why does this happen? It seems like the US media always potrays the Palestinians as blood thristy fanatical terrorists. Not all Palestinians are bad as they are shown.

Unfortunately it is hard to demagogue peace. It is like having an insightful cult with a wide range of opinions, things just don't happen that way.
There are Palestinian demagogues ( some at war with other Palestinian demagogues) and there are Israeli demagogues using Palestinian demagogues to give themselves power. All the actual people, who mostly just want to get on with life, get battered from both sides.
Every Mother's son (and daughter) has issues, but if put to a vote peace would usually win hands down. Unfortunately only crazy people get to vote.

One good news doesn't sell.
2) How may of your moderates have stood up in solidarity against the Arabish Israelis (There is no Palestinians. You come from 1 of three countries Israel, Jordan, Syria. from the 63' and 67' war).who aim for innocent women and children. And yes if you aim for a military target and hit civilians it is bad.When you have signs walking through the arab-Israeli owned parts of Israel telling them they are not Muslum and you are ashamed of those who aim at civilian targets bcause they bring shame on their own religion. Then will I worry about the US presses history.

Peace doesn't make good news in most markets. People are more apt to sit in front of the telie (and subsequently watch the commercials) during war.

Yes, It's almost like the American media is actually controlled by corporations who are trying to anesthetize and manipulate the American People.
Poor Palestine. What did they ever do to deserve this?

For a corporate run media its not about reporting the news, its about increasing profit.
