On the main page of Yahoo for much of the morning there were 2 articles on the main page.
1) Lebanese army shells refugee camps, and in the story makes it out to be a very legitimate operation.
Underneath it said, Israeli army pounds Gaza, which was in response to rockets being fired into Israel, and in the article it says they killed 5 Palestinians failing to mention 4 were militants.
What's going on here?
If Israel was bombing a refugee camp in response to terrorist fire they would recieve a much harsher response.

Israel has a strong lobby in America, and press criticism of the Israeli government is both rare and mild. If you doubt this, compare these two stories to the versions published in the foreign press.

Your right... Israel gets shafted by the news almost every time.
