War in Israel

Hopefully I'll get round to watching those clips later today. The media is always going to be biased to one side or the other. I'm afraid true objectivity doesn't exist any more, if it ever did.

You don't, imho, have to worry about your post getting pulled, you are free to express your opinions here as long as you don't start berating or being antagonistic toward others, which you haven't.

I truly hope you and yours are as well as can be expected but I don't see an end to this any time soon.

This is the most disturbing footage I have ever watched. My views are irrelevent but I strongly recommend you watch it through, especially the last 10 minutes or so. It is an hour and 20 minutes well spent.

I fear this is very biassed. Here is an exmpale of palestinians transporting explosives in an ambulance...

...sure you didn't mean biased rather than unbiased?

I've not had time to watch it fully yet, but the few opening minutes were enough to suggest to me it was going to be very much one persons point of view...like the 9-11 conspiracy video-clip-comilation that contained so much rubbish, misinformation, and out-of-context quotes. Not so unlike the media in general I guess, everyone has to be sensationalist to get that headline...<_<

That a bit like saying "What a crap book" without having read it! The few opening minutes? Well at least you watched enough to make an informed opinion. <_<

Just skipped through it and I have seen it before, and I stand by my original assessment. Besides, the opening minutes quite quickly show a strong anti-US leaning. Unfortunately so much reporting seems to get taken up in trying to show how extreme one party while showing how justified the other party is that it all ends up as propoganda.

I agree with that. I think Israel suffers currently from a leadership (if you can even use the verb 'lead' in this context) which is very weak (but not in their own eyes) and unexperienced. On the other hand, I think radical Isalm is not good for anyone but itself also. In fact, any radical governance is bad for its peopla as for the rest of the world.

Howvever, even radical Zionism (if there is such a thing) wouldn't go bombing planes of the US, or UK as we have learnt lately. It also wouldn't burn cars in Paris. I realy fear that in a decade or too the EU will have to deal with a much "burning" problem.
