A new UN resolution gives Israel and the Palestinians five more months to investigate the three-week Gaza war, which started at the end of 2008. A report last year found both sides guilty of war crimes. Israel calls it biased and flawed. And the Palestinians say even if the probe confirms that war crimes were committed, Israel will never be held responsible.

Today Gaza fired mortar shells to Israel and neither CNN nor Fox news reported that. Ten mortar shells fired from Gaza. Then the world is surprised when Israels replies, and asks why Israel is attacking Gaza?

If they ever hit anything or kill somebody the media will be all over it . Until then the only news that will sell is the Israel retaliation with some yelling too much before it happens,
It’s all a matter of what sells and makes the sponsors happy. Advertising drives the world. Blood and guts sells ads.
I have no doubt that Ben will be jolly on the spot when Jewish blood flows. That would sell.

Is it just any that report negative news about Israel and criticizes Israel for some people? I realize that there are some members who say BBC, CNN, Haaretz, CBS to be unreliable sources because according to them, they report lies. So which ones are considered to be reliable to these people (and you know who you are)?

If i would accuse any source for being biased, then i would definitely provide my reliable sources to prove wrong the biased one! The members who complain about unreliable sources are the same who never posted any sources at all! Maybe because they consider their rant to be the most reliable one!

I would call that ignorance

Israeli forces have targeted the office of Press TV and the Iranian Arab-language satellite channel al-Alam in the Gaza Strip.

There were two people wounded in the Israeli attack, a Press TV correspondent said Friday, adding that Press TV’s sister channel, Al-Alam, which was also based in the building has been affected by the attack.

According to our correspondent Hamoudi Gharib, the building was targeted even though the staff had kept light projectors working on the roof of the building 24 hours a day to mark the building.

The journalists working in the building had been given safety assurances that the building would not be targeted by mistake, after its coordinates were handed to organizations responsible for the journalist safety, including the UN.

The Press TV team said they received no warnings ahead of the Israeli strike, which only targeted journalists and news crew who were in the building.

The team’s equipment, including satellite transmission devices installed on the roof, have been damaged.

Press TV has been one of the few news networks which has provided extensive coverage of the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of some 783 Palestinians.

My youngest son asked me a simple question about our upcoming trip to Israel.  He asked me, “daddy why are we going to Israel again?”

My response to him made me think of the same question I asked my grandfather of why he came to Israel instead of coming to the United States after WWII.  My grandfather told me that he had a choice to either come start a life in San Francisco or move to Israel.  He told me, without giving it a second thought, “I knew I wanted all my children, grandchildren, and G-d willing great grandchildren to know that they have a homeland.  I have spent my life working and living for my family. My greatest joy and pride is watching my great grandchildren have a love for Israel.”

My grandfathers words resounded in my words when I told my son, that we are going home to visit not only our family, but to visit Israel.  This is where our family and all Jews alike are from.  There is no greater feeling of pride when my son says to me, “I can’t wait to go home to Israel, I love going to Israel.”

The term “Pallywood” refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression. They are able to succeed in this endeavor in large part due to the credulity and eagerness of the Western press to present these images, which reinforce the image of the Palestinian David struggling valiantly against the overpowering Israeli Goliath. Pallywood has led to astonishing lapses in Western journalistic standards in which badly staged scenes regularly appear on the news as “real events.”
For those interested in an in-depth look into how propaganda is really produced and created, this is a must see.
