Israel - Palestine Update Thread. No hate. Just updates.

Haaretz fair and balanced?

Israel's 'right to self-defense' - a tremendous propaganda victory

www.haaretz.com...

One of Israel's tremendous propaganda victories is that it has been accepted as a victim of the Palestinians, both in the view of the Israeli public and that of Western leaders who hasten to speak of Israel's right to defend itself. The propaganda is so effective that only the Palestinian rockets at the south of Israel, and now at Tel Aviv, are counted in the round of hostilities. The rockets, or damage to the holiest of holies - a military jeep - are always seen as a starting point, and together with the terrifying siren, as if taken from a World War II movie, build the meta-narrative of the victim entitled to defend itself.

Those pictures make me feel very sad. I wish this would all stop.

RT has a news conference It's about the cease fire...which so far there isn't one. They are still working on it but so far again breaking, no cease fire yet.

So...US block action on Gaza/Israel, but then demands Russia and China give in to Syria. These are the world leaders playing with the world's lives. Absolute travisty.

From CNN: 'Israel official: "We are trying diplomatic ways to end this."

Diplomacy at work I suppose?

US media so eager to show feed of Tel Aviv...I don't recall any of them showing a live feed of Gaza this time around. They were all about using Ramattan's feed in 09. Guess if they can't mooch off of someone they won't show one.

NBC standing guard


LIVE VIDEO — Watch a live picture from Tel Aviv, which has been targeted with rockets fired from Gaza as violence escalates.


I thought I read on their twitter account they were trying to concentrate efforts on areas/regions that matter the most to the western audience.

Kudos to them

PS:very good image and feed quality.

Lots of smoke on the RT feed
