All the top headlines in Google News yesterday were screaming about the death of more than 50 Palestinians in Gaza (around 19 of them civilians) and when I opened CNN I find telling photographs...
- An Israeli woman being treated for "shock" after the attacks
- An Israeli soldier helping a wounded comrade
- Palestinian protesters burning tires and throwing stones
- Israeli soldiers firing at the protesters
And the headlines read "Israel attacks Hamas headquarters", "Palestinians suspend peace talks with Israel", " Gaza fired at least 25 rockets into Israel on Sunday; 2 civilians injured" and the very last line casually mentions " More than 70 Palestinians killed in Gaza since Friday"
20 civilians have been murdered for chrissake! And all CNN cares to report are "shocks", "protests". I am not taking sides here, the Palestine militants might have fired rockets that started the whole thing-but murdering civilians who had no direct involvement is not effective retaliation and that should at least be reported if not condemned!
Does the CNN take all Americans to be so naive that they could be led into condoning Israel for what its deputy defense minister warns will turn into a "holocaust" for the Palestinians?
