The media is tainting the news again. In some cases, it is more subtle than others. You'll catch it in the way they ask questions of Israeli representatives and Palestinian representatives. The innuendos almost lead to the answers that the "reporters" are seeking.
The bottom line here is that the media would like us to believe that Israel is in the wrong. "Why haven't you followed the peace accord?" they ask. Then, they almost cut off the answer, "Why don't THEY follow it?"
Hamas has been tossing missiles and rockets into Israel with alarming frequency for several years. How long would you put up with your neighbor throwing dog crap over his his fence and into your bedroom window before you did something about it? The United Nations, so-called peace maker of the Earth, has been turning a blind eye toward the matter. If the cops don't show up to arrest your neighbor, are you eventually going to throw the dog shit back, along with everything else you can get your hands on? Maybe you'll just go over there and beat the tar out of him?
The media makes a big major point about how Israel is trying to ignore calls for cease fire, about the rocket that hit a school. They make no mention of the indiscriminate and unprovoked Hamas rocket attacks that have been killing innocent Israelis on a daily basis for years.
Our Constitution, for valid reasons, protects the freedom of the press. With that freedom, the press has a responsibility to us, the American citizens, to report objectively and fairly. When they violate that responsibility, they violate the purpose and intent of the law, and we need to find a way to hold them accountable.
