...fascinating talk on media bais where Palestine is concerned, compared to the favorable coverage Israel gets...a long studt of the media, on the percentage of stories, follow ups etc. The most glaring thing was the total absence of chronology..for instance, in one series of events a total of 7 Isareli childrenw ere killed, on their own lands...to 248 Palestinian children killed on their own lands...by "children" is meant the UN definition of under |7. But was truly amazing was that 82 Palestinian children had been killed BEFORE a single Israeli child was killed...yet those 82 were not mentioned in ANY American media outlet...the same with suicide bombings...what the media don´t report is how many Palestinian children and adults are killed by the Isarelis BEFORE any suicide attack....instead they repost only the suicide attacks and any Palestinians deaths AFTER that...to make it appear that Israel is only RESPONDING to the suicide attack...instead of the suicide attack being the reponse to 82 murdered Palestinian children..

The entire Christian world has made it plain that Arab lives count for nothing..just as they did with Jewish lives 70 years ago...when Palestinians can´t even get media coverage of their losses, and yet have to hear about how Israelis are merely "responding", it underdtandably drives them frantic....
