GLOBAL PULSE: Gaza Media War (1/13/2009)

(January 13, 2009) Israel and Hamas are fighting on two fronts in Gaza - a military battle, and a battle for public opinion. People around the world are being confronted with horrifying images of war, as well as all sorts of spin from various sources in the ongoing Gaza tragedy. As the combatants attempt to control the message, the media sphere is also crowded with self-promotion by secondary players.

Hey vatossan you moron. What are you talking about Israel doesn't want to hurt civilians. Why are the borders of Gaza closed then? It would be easy to say whoever wants to come out can do so. Then Israel can claim they are trying to avoid hurting civilians. To get out of Gaza you must have a foreign passport. So STFU you moron. How about I come to your country, take your land, kill your family and then call you a terrorist when you start to defend yourself... Stupid motherfucker...

The dome of the rock Is the adbomination that causes desolation as written in revelation. Mohammed is the false prophet, and islam the false religion, with allah the heathen god. their evil desicration sitting upon solomon,s holy of holy's. DESTROY THE DOME. Thus sayeth the lord " you shall have no other gods before me" therefore the heathen allah desicrates the holy mount and causes desolation throught the world.

This is what Israel did in Gaza killed the kids, were massacred and tortured women, the elderly and demolished houses .. Where are you my conscience of the world??? Where you are the backbone of humanity and human rights and Mazel aggression continues, but we should do something for them

just reading Old Testament books and the rampant carnage and oppression of one group of people against another....and the story continues.....who is the oppressor? Don't know....lots of bias from all sides

how about love all. nothing else is working,right? Love understanding+the will to do=peace.

[ModerSverige]

no no no...

Fuck Israel

[srbosjek]

Why were there suicide attacks? Because of 50 years of oppression, theft, racist policies and murder. "FORCED" you cannot be serious. What does a person say to that. Yes they were FORCED by living in despair for generations. FORCED by Israel because peaceful requests for justice bore no fruit for 50 years. BTW If you read my post in context you will see that I was talking bout the current onslaught and the ridiculous statement that Israel is trying to avoid hurting civilians.

It is so weird that this is a minor story in the US! And remember Cheney's recent trip to the Mid-East...makes you wonder.
