I think that the American media has always been playing with the news. It has always showed us everything but the truth ;and has always been protraying the American government as the strongest and the most mercyful of all.
Today, I was watching the news about what is happening in occupied Palestine and I was really angry at what I saw, or should I say what I did not see. Women and children are dying by hundreds being killed by bombs thrown at their houses while they were peacefuly sleeping or playing. Buildings and mosques are being destroyed without mercy by the Jewish occupation under the shameful excuse that these mosques were used by Hamas movement. Unfortunately everything that is described above was not shown by the American media but by some European and Arab unbiased media that show you all the massacres via sattelite-live- as they unfold. You cannot tell me that those media are biased because all they do is show you the events minute by minute as they happen directly from Palestine. They cannot modify them and they cannot fabricate them because it would be just too hard to do so. How can you fabricate a picture of a grieving father who is kissing his baby son the last kiss before burying him? How can you fabricate a picture of grieving mom who lost five daughters all at once while in their sleep? How can you fabricate the sound of a grieving grandfather crying and screaming for the loss of his grandson? how can you fabricate the sounds of bombs being thrown at civilian neighborhoods and then fabricate dead bodies on the streets after these same bombings.
I just think that enough is enough. Everybody should know that Israel is not self deffending itself. Israel is attaking civilians under the excuse of attaking Hamas movement. Israel is the one occupying Palestine and not the opposite; and when someone occupies your country, you react by defending yourself with whatever you have in order to free yourself from the force that is oppressin you. Why most Americans don't understand that Palestinians are just defending themselves from the oppressors? Is it that difficult to understand that when somebody attacks you , you automatically react by defending yourself? It is not that hard come on; all it takes is see the truth with your eyes and BRAINS through unbiased media, through travelling and seeing how people around the world are struggling daily to survive, and by reading about the history of Palestine from 1948 to present. It is not that hard; it just a click away on your laptop by viewing International media, books, stories told, and most of all your own unbiased research.
To this day certain news media are still talking about the Haulocost and how the jews were massakered but they seem to easily forget about the genocids that happened in Rwanda, in Chechenia, afghanistan, in Irak, and the recent genocid that is still going on in Palestine. What about them?
