GAZA STILL AN ISRAELI KILLING FIELD...!

The distraction of the Lebanon War Crimes has diverted attention from the real problem...which is Gaza and the West Bank.

This is perhaps intentional on the part of Israel, which was getting a lot of bad press coverage about Gaza after they "kidnapped" the Hamas government, and caused this "hostage taking" to spiral out of control...


Essentially the pattern is always the same. Israel provokes an attack on it...and then claims that the other side "started it." The "meter" always starts running AFTER THE MUSLIMS LASH OUT...in response to the provocations of the Israelis.

And of course the American media always "see it" the Israeli way. But the rest of the world, especially the Arab world, has a totally different viewpoint.

This, of course, is then used to "justify" the occupations...and further assaults on civilians...which only provoke more attacks. And the vicious cycle continues.
