'Jewish lobby'? Zionists? ADL? Rothchilds?
1917? 1917... 1917!!! Please...
No REALLY Souljah... WHAT is your point? Do you hear yourself?
Help me out here... Are you saying because of what you 'think' is represented in your 'links' that 'Palestinians'/Arabs somehow have some kinda right to kill 'J000S'?
The year is 2006. Try to deal with it.
By the way is 'hoobies' some kind of terrier/hobbit hybrid? Hobbies with a distinct British accent...
As for... Think tanks in Washington?
They need ALL the help they can get.

Associated Press Coverage of Israeli and Palestinian Deaths
Israeli children’s deaths were covered at a rate 7.5 times greater than Palestinian children’s deaths.
9 Israeli children’s deaths were reported in the headlines or first paragraphs of AP articles on the Israel/Palestine conflict in 2004, when 8 had actually occurred. During the same period only 27 out of 179 Palestinian children’s deaths were reported. (Children are defined by international law as those who are 17 and younger.)
22 times more Palestinian children were killed than Israeli children.
AP reported on 113% of Israeli children’s deaths in headlines or first paragraphs, while reporting on only 15% of Palestinian children’s deaths.
Israeli and Palestinian voices in US op-ed pages
In the US media, Palestinians generally aren't allowed to speak for themselves or to articulate their historical narrative. Israelis, however, are permitted to speak, to explain the Israeli experience and even to explain about Palestinians. As a result, the Israeli story is known in the US while Palestinians are dehumanized.
- Over the five year and three month period, the five newspapers published 680 op-eds on Israel/Palestine. 214 were written by Israeli writers and 86 by Palestinian writers, an average of 2.5 Israeli writers for each Palestinian writer.
- The Wall Street Journal has the most lopsided five-year record, averaging 5.1 op-eds by Israelis for every one op-ed by a Palestinian writer.
- The New York Times has been the least balanced over the last three years with an average of 4.3 Israeli op-ed writers for every Palestinian.
- The Los Angeles Times published 2.3 Israeli writers for every Palestinian writer.
- The Washington Post (1.4/1) and USA Today (0.8/1) are near parity between Israeli and Palestinian writers.
- The relative balance at The Washington Post and USA Today indicates that a bias towards Israeli writers is not inevitable, but is a result of the choices made by the editors at The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.
ABC World News - Tonight CBS Evening News - NBC Nightly News
In 2004, when 22 times more Palestinian children were being killed than Israeli children, we found that ABC, CBS, and NBC were reporting Israeli children’s deaths at rates 9 to 12.8 times higher than Palestinian children’s deaths. By omitting the killings of a great number of Palestinian children, ABC, CBS, and NBC were failing to perform their function as new agencies – the reporting of the news. In the course of completing this study we found that there was no lack of newscasts on the subject – during many periods there were daily reports from the area – there was simply a pattern of omitting violence against Palestinians while emphasizing violence against Israelis.
Finally, we found that the networks virtually never reported the total number of deaths among both populations in this conflict. This is a bizarre and highly perplexing omission. Such numbers are easily available and immensely significant. At the same time, we found the networks’ tendency in 2004 to report on the fact that “hundreds of Israelis have been killed” without at the same time mentioning the number of Palestinians killed (several times greater) inexplicable. Such reporting can only mislead. We hope that by alerting the networks to this lapse, they will correct it.

Once again, another metaphor/ analogy has gone over your head that you misunderstood. Islamic terrorists would use the "bomb" against infidels including Muslims in the Western world. Why? Because they have been ruined and corrupted by Bush styled Western ideologies. Only the strongest of Allah would survive a Holacaust. That's their thinking. I have friends that are Muslims that think Hamas and other terrorists groups are a bunch of Narcasistic Idiots that bastardize the true meaning of Islam. Islam means PEACE- not killing little kids like abunch of sadistic savages with "mouth watering" vengeance. And That's true. They are a bunch of Narcasistic "Nazi Reincarnated" styled Idiots. Terrorism anyone? If the Jews DO take a nuclear offensive, they may do so in the following quote: "If we can't have our land, then nobody will." Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Ah yes, the Poor J000S! How much they Suffered! And now they are allowed to do the same thing to the People of Palestine, as it was done to them; create concentrations camps known as Gaza Strip and West Bank and carve them up in to tinly little zones of Poverty, Hopelesness and Rage. Gettos yes. But I see now that the mighty Propaganda machine led by the Rich Pro-Zionist Think-Tanks like MEMRI, CAMERA, IANSA etc, have created an entire army of Muslim-Haters like Yourself, who will at all cost defend the people of Israel no matter what they do - even if they break International Laws and use other forms of Terrorism against people of Palestine. That is GOOD. Muslims BAD - J000S GOOD! But I Understand, since American press is actually very VERY Biased in reporting news from Palestine & Israel, since you will not hear when a Palestinian child dies, but you will hear twice as much when an Israeli child died since US MainStream Corporate Media significantly distorts reality Israeli-Palestinian conflict, essentially over-reporting the number of Israelis killed in the conflict and underreporting the number of Palestinians killed And If Americans Only Knew what goes on in Palestine, I think they would not support this Terroristic-Military Regime called Israel. But it is too late now - you are already programmed. And now you will call me an Anti-Semitist, a Terrorist-Lover and possibly also a Nazi, right? Too bad you do not know what is really going on in there - and I think you probably do not want to know really, since your Reality would collapse like a Deck of cards.
Carefully read Souljah's over and undertones. Stupid question. Which side are you on? No need to answer. I already know. Your threads have typical excuses to justify murderous, [snip] disturbing and sadistic savages. It's pompass. Go away. I heard this justifiable stuff way too many times. Your words sicken me. I can't speak for anybody else but me.
Carefully read Wisconsin's post - can you see the Rage and Anger? Can you see how my post got him upset? Can you see the Insults? Can you see the threats? I guess that is OKEY, since I am defending the Palestinian position and in this case, I will get labelled stuff like that all of the time and I am used to it anyway. I wonder what would happen if I start talking about J000S like people here CAN and are ALLOWED to talk about the Palestinian People. If I justify murderous # distrurbing sadistic bastards, then you justify devil-worshiping-cults-of-death; yeah man, your president belongs to a secret society called the Scum & Boners I mean Skull & Bones, who worship Death, have the SS number 322 for theirs, have dug skeleton of Geronimo, and are jerking off on each other, before they start to push # up their asses.
Yep, welcome to da REAL WORLD.
READ A BOOK!

Now that thing about that little detail I brought up... You KNOW... PERSPECTIVE.
You simply don't have any. You seem to be fully in possession of a relative of 'perspective'... called BIAS.
You seem to view yourself as some type of interlocutor of the truth. But here is the problem...
You see I fancy myself an honest observer... And listening to your so overwhelming biased presentation of the 'facts', you come off more as a propagandist/partisan than someone serving up a valid unbiased perspective...
It's kind of ironic that you're lecturing me on the bias of 'the media'... No amount of wordsmithing is going to cover up the fact that it takes two to tango... and in an 'asked and answered' sort of way...
It's already been covered that the Egyptians and Jordians must be a LOT smarter than the 'Palestinians' cuz they seem to have figured it out... and achieved that most illusory of things referred to as peace.
While on the subject of 'figuring' things out... In your honest opinion, what would it take for the 'Palestinians' to figure out that you do things like shoot rockets, kidnap/kill Israelis that there might be some kind of reaction from those over-subsidized 'J000S'... more than likely not peaceful.
In a happy smiley face world, the fact that 'Palestinian'... YES... children! Are being killed is happening MOST EVERY DAY and that shouldn't be happening... Wouldn't it just seem that if 'Palestinian' society was a responsible institution that they wouldn't be initiating attacks essentially using civilians as human shields.
You probably right. I just can't seem to get my arms around some of the core issues... You know like where you shoot rockets at, kidnap/kill people in areas containing the largest employer of 'Palestinians'...
Do you think I have any chance of getting a handle on this?
