NECN Skewed Coverage of Israel/Gaza

Local news station NECN relies heavily on ABC News for their international news coverage, and they're using ABC News for covering the Israeli defensive attacks against Hamas in Gaza Strip.  Talk about skewed news!  This morning, ABC News reporter Simon McGregor covered the attacks on Gaza Strip with repeated videos of injured and dead children.  Yes, there are children being killed by Israel's defensive attacks against Hamas.  Too bad Hamas launches its rocket attacks against Israeli civilians from apartment buildings and from people's homes, thereby inviting the death of its own innocent civilians.  Hamas has been denounced by Muslims around the world for the tremendous violence and suffering it has brought to its own people, most recently by the London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.  

What was shocking in the ABC/NECN coverage this morning was that ABC News used a clip from Palestinian TV of a seven year old girl who lost her family in yesterday's bombing.  (The source of video is Palestinian Media Watch) ABC/NECN played the part where the devastated young girl says "I woke up and my four year old sister next to me was dead."  ABC/NECN left out the part what the girl also says: "I say, Hamas is the cause in the first place, of all the wars."  Funny how they edited that video clip.

Unfortunately the corruption of the media in the USA is going to come back to haunt us, the lies and total lack of knowledge of history (such as the roots of the Terrorists and connections even to Hitler) committed by the media are dangerous to all honest & freedom loving person worldwide

Yesterday I saw on news that some Israeli where dancing near the border,where the missiles were launched to Gaza.I ask you what a beautiful thing is happening there that they are happy? Israel and Hamass had a cease fire OK?
What does war mean? When Israel didn't allow goods to be taken there,and ills to be taken out, what does it mean?
Other than killing Palestinian slowly? Is it cease fire?

The behavior of such media reporting is disgusting and outrageous

Israel is to be commended for being so careful to avoid civilian casualties. It is ironic that many people thoughtlessly say that Israel and the Jews control the media. It is the Muslims, primarily because of fear of the Middle East oil monopoly but also because of ultra "liberal" elements in western society, who are regularly excused from responsibility for terrorism and other heinous crimes against humanity.

The so- called "Palestinians" do not constitute a separate people and it is ridiculous to try to establish a separate country for them. Such a country would simply be another terroristic state. These are refugees. Virtually none of them were born in Israel proper and those who were became refugees because they left in an attempt to assist the Arab armies attacking Israel. These people should be resettled in the abundant Arab/Muslim lands surrounding Israel. There they can have a chance to get on with their lives in a humane and normal fashion rather than being used by terrorists as a tool to overthrow Israel. I wish them well but they should not be allowed to remain terrorist tools.
