Israeli, Palestinian media show different sides of Gaza story

Accusations of media bias are frequent in the current conflict in Gaza. Israel banned foreign reporters from the war zone, adding to communication difficulties.

Martin Savidge speaks with two Worldfocus producers about their background and knowledge of international media. Mohammad al-Kassim is a Palestinian-American raised in Jerusalem and Yuval Lion is an Israeli citizen who has family remaining in Israel.

In the first part of a series of discussions, they share what they are hearing from on the ground and discuss media coverage of the Gaza war, both internationally and in Israel and the Arab world.

@TheDetective6

did you ever read hamas convention ?

if you support hamas than you are blind.

If the Israeli aspirations were fulfilled, there would be no single injured child in Gaza. If Hamas' and their's supporters aspirations were fulfilled God forbid, there would be not a single living child in Israel.

There are the ones who know how to protect themselfs from the terror on civilians, and there are the ones who know how to put the civilian under the fire on the terrorism.

These are the proportions.

You are not even making sense. What I am trying to say is you are so wrapped up in your belief you will believe anything anyone (who holds the same beliefs as you) tell you. You are being ignorant to think that all Israelis want paletinians dead. That is like saying palestinian children are terrorists....it just isn't true. Let there just be peace. They stop bombing, israel will leave them alone.

[TheDetective6]

SHUT the FUck up !!

All these Chilldren Are they also terrorists or ? go home and sleep man , fucking Zionism

[oregongirl1983]

Are you kidding me?...You are a victim of propaganda. You will never hear an Israeli say, "We want all palestinians dead." All Hamas wants is Israelis wiped from this earth. Israelis only want peace and the ability to live in a democratic and open society.

That BIG BITCH --- Tzipi Livni She Says

We Want Peace ..

At the same time when she kills the child in Gaza ..

Witch peace ?

Zionism does not want peace.

they want to remove Palestine and wants to kill all Palestinians so that no one will be here tomorrow and say,''I want to take back my country''

That is what they are afraid of,to hear the truth

But I say, and everyone says that we Will take Palestine back ..

(((( Free Palestine Long Live ... <3 ))))

[vistavision2]

gamlejeppe, your conclusions are all wrong

Fire boming of both Dresden in Germany and Tokyo were Laws of War Acts of Reprisals which are acts that would be a War Crime but are acts taken to force compliance with LOAC of International law

Same for Hiroshima & Nagasaki

[vistavision2]

naststank, of course it did:

1944 assassinated Lord Moyne UK Minister to Egypt

Bombed King David Hotel the UK's HQ

Assassinated UN Mediator Bernadotte

Initiated the inhabitants to seek refuge by massacre at Deir Yassin where 248 palestinians wer killed and then announcing in loudspeakers that that is awaited the rest

where 600,000 [Netanhyahu's #]sought refugee

1956 invasion of Egypt with France, and UK

1967 Attacked a UN post-UK Obervers

Israel violated truce
