[QUOTE="Wonderbread, post: 54089, member: 541455"] the real issue with teh middle east situation right now in the west, is the uneven media presentation we get.. it is essentially propoganda,,.. I do disagree with much of what "The Sword of Hebron" does and how he deals, but Israel is not the only agressor... Remeber a while ago, the New York Post printed a picture on the cover of a man with a series of cuts and severe bleeding with an israeli soldier.. The caption stated he was a Palestinian and that the Soldier was attacking him. A few days/weeks later, the truth came out.. he was a jewish student visiting from teh states who was in a car that was attacked by a bunch of palestinians... they were stoning him and nearly killed him. The soldier in fact rescued the Student from the car. Phat, you and i both know that the media is easily manipulated and that you never get teh whole truth. I ahve family living in Tel Aviv right now... the only way to get the whole story is to be immersed in the problems.They see, with alarming regularity such unspeakable acts from both sides that the western media never rpesents to us... they have not seen soldiers brutally slaughtering any children,a t least not intentioanlly (after all, isnt "freindly fire losses" acceptable with americans?) tehy HAVE seen however, Palestinian's using children as a human shield to and intentionally bringing them into the line of fire... So much for wht we see in teh media, eh? [/QUOTE]
