All the media outlets are garbage, and all are severely biased and have practically tripped over themselves to make excuses for Israel's latest round of carnage. For every single timid reference to the entire world's condemnation of Israel's war crimes and atrocities, there are ten talking heads blabbering on about Hamas tunnels and pop rocket attacks (that have killed almost no one, mind you), minus the context and careful qualifying language that Israel is afforded whenever the subject of its misdeeds is (reluctantly and circumspectly) broached. Apparently, the 8 year illegal blockade of Gaza, 45 year old brutal military occupation, and long campaign of colonialist theft does not count among our heavily controlled media as relevant "context" in the analysis of Palestinian actions and motives. Instead we are repeatedly bombarded with lurid tape-looped videos showing what we are led to believe are the stereotypical black clad Jihadi terrorists, this time harassing poor wittle innocent Israel, an utter insult to the intelligence of anyone with even a nodding awareness of the history of this conflict. All the media outlets are guilty of this, notwithstanding the hysterical charges of anti-Israel bias by fanatical Zionists against networks like CNN, for whom anything less than the utter and complete parroting of the official boilerplate coming out of the pro-Likud hasbara crowd is deemed an unforgivable assault upon the phony parallel universe of rationalization and megalomania they and their supporters choose to inhabit.Grg Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439145411741918668noreply@blogger.com
