The Media Coverage of Israel Fighting Hamas in Gaza Is a Lopsided War in Itself

LOPSIDED ? ? ?

Sam Dealy isn't so interested in taking his journalistic 'objectivity' to compare the casulites on both 'sides' . . . he 'forgets' to mention the Israeli censorship of the carnage in Gaza . . . and the endless refuge camps . . . and the medical supply-withholding blockades . . . and the absolute fear of US government reps to EVER speak out against Israel's proud history of brutality and racism. Lopsided, indeed.

To the person below

(israel controls the images of its nazi killings,like the nazis did years before,israel have turned into nazis,with building blocade walls and cleansing gaza,think warsaw cleared by the nazis,all we dont see are the gas chambers,but if the world stays silent like they did in germany they will follow)

You my friend are as blind as the Nazi's in Germany.

Supporting the Hamas terrorist's is simply the mentality that they want you to think. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Finally!!!

Thank you for writing the truth the world needs to hear. The world doesn't get it because the media isn't saying it like it is, like you are, Sam. Most of the world that is aware of what is going on in Gaza today has never even heard of the rocket attacks on Israel even though they have been going on since 2000 and have been over 8,000 rockets and mortars fired into Israel to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible! There should be NO question about Israel's right to wipe out a terrorist enemy like Hamas.

Eilat to Learn

I feel sad for most of you that you will never experience the wonderful country and people of Israel because of either your prejudice and/or ignorance. There is one and only one democracy in the Middle East-Israel. One country in which jew, christian,muslim,druze etc...can practice freely and be a government official-Israel. Once country where women, gays, handicapped etc...are not subjugated and are considered as equals-Israel. One country which sends doctors to Thailand during the Tsunami, Turkey during the earthquake, India after the Mumbai attacks and countless other countries over the years-Israel. There is almost nobody in that country that would not choose to live in Peace-they are clearly a people that cherish life but as their past FEMALE PRIME MINISTER Gold Meir once said,"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

What About Egypt...of NC

You NC are saying nothing about Hamas wanting to destroy Isreal completely...and I mean wiped them off the face of the Earth...Wow,what a coincidence,just like Iran.

Now, why are you not calling down Cairo for the blockade on the Palis and why are the Pals that suport peace not getting blown away. You arguement is empty just like Iran saying they do not help Hamas...but the rockets they shoot at Israel has "Made in Iran" on them.

"Could you please inform your readers as to the numbers of Israeli children and civilians killed by Hamas over the last six months?"

Irrelevant. None died but millions of Israelis are dodging rockets, hiding in shelters, and have been terrorized since they were born.

What you Dont know

Palestinians are living a humanitarian crisis like the Nazis. During the peace or the Israeli "cease-fire", the Israelis used thsi time to coin the phrase "we dont have to occupy them, but we can control them from outside and stave them to death" The Israeli Zionist government has put its own people in danger by starving the palestinian people through their control of all their borders. They've engaged in assisination activities throughout the entire peace-treaty and continue to kill them. Does the value of human life go down when you are born poor and arab? Let's make this clear, they are committing genocide and they are terrorizing the Palestinian people.

God Has The Only Solution - It Is The Hope Of All Nations

United Nations, Middle East Quartet, EU, US, Israel and Hamas have power for this solution. Many of the problems arise from fear of religion and from misunderstanding human rights.

God promises greater conflicts and destructions UNTIL we choose His ways or be destroyed. The primary message of the Qur'an is to follow the whole Bible. Jesus said to live by EVERY word of God. That is what God told Moses. (Matthew 4:4) (Leviticus 26)(Qur'an, Ahmad.Numbers, 5.68, 69; 42.14-16; 3.56; 2:54; 21.49; 40.54, 55; 62.6; 2.137; 3.85; and in older Qur'an 7.158, 159.)

All must follow what is written, not what the religious leaders say, or destruction is ahead. (Signs of a super volcanic eruption at Yellowstone,) God's word is truth and it will come to pass.

The 7th day Sabbath of no work written in stone as part of the Ten Commandments is what God calls His sign between Him and us that He is our God. Jews, Muslims and Christians are commanded to follow that in their holy books. Other religions are commanded to live by verified scripture.

God’s human rights are obey and be blessed or disobey His word and be cursed, nothing more. Pray for God's peace, His lifestyle, and trust Him. (Leviticus 23, 26; Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5:29)

There must be a trial for us to overcome with God's word to see who will be obedient and receive the greater blessings and who will receive the 4 x 7 curses so we understand we are going the wrong way and we understand God is true to His word no matter how horrible it sound. The Bible is a history of how God dealt with people and rulers of nations according to their treatment of His word.
