I’m disgusted with the media coverage in this country over the conflict in Gaza. You’d think just by watching these guys that Hamas is a big, cuddly, stuffed teddy bear that has done absolutely nothing to deserve the beating Israel is dishing out.
If you ask some dumb-fuck college student, who shares the media’s biased views about the conflict, you’ll undoubtedly hear that Israel is the oppressor and that this whole conflict is Israels fault and that their mission was completely uncalled for.
If you do your research though and bring it into discussion with the aforementioned college student, that Hamas has been launching rockets at civilian Israeli targets for over six months, they’re shut-up.
Some of the facts that the media did get correct is that Israel is launching this offensive to protect 1/3 of it’s population. If you were to think of this in American terms, this would be, in effect, us protecting the population of Los Angeles.
How long do you think we would stand while someone launched rockets into a city center the size of Los Angeles?
Aside from the disgusting media coverage in this country, there is some significant good news, despite all the reports. Israel is accomplishing much; destroying convoy tunnels, rocket launching targets and key Hamas militant personnel. Israel’s attack is swift and true; no doubt they will have success against a political group that does not see Israel’s right to exist.
Prayer’s for Israel. Peace through strength and may peace come to those innocent in Gaza.
