Israel at it again

[CFH]

Jesus Christ man, I don't think we needs pictures of dead and badly wounded people to understand that what's going on it fucked up.

I don't agree. I don't think people have a clue what's going on over there every day.

When people read that one woman was shot in the face and that two girls were killed, they have a pretty good idea of what's going on. Perhaps the general public does not, but no one participating in this thread doesn't know what violence looks like.

Those pictures are only anecdotal evidence anyways. I'm sure you could find images of dead Israeli soldiers and civilians and of Arab's doing things comparable to what those Jewish kids are doing in the other picture. It adds very little to the argument IMO, and it drives people like myself away from these types of discussions. Maybe other people feel differently or that I'm a pussy or whatever, but that is my opinion. And for the record, I firmly sympathize with the Palestinians.

In which western newspaper did you read that two girls were killed and one was shot in the face?

I haven't read any newspapers for a while, I've been busy with school. However, people are killed in Gaza, and in Israel, on a fairly regular basis and it's common knowledge. Furthermore, I think the majority of people realize that the Israeli's do the bulk of the killing. I don't find it all that surprising that such things would often get little or no attention in western papers (if that is the case), it's a regular occurance. Do you expect the killing of every person in arguably the world's most volatile region to heavily covered by all media outlets? When exceptional things occur, like the raid on the ship in which the casualties were widely reported, it is more heavily covered.
