Israel - Media double standards...

This is what I mean with how the global media treats Israel with the constant double standard.

Gaza flares as Israel hits back killing four

This is a semi-major headline around the world this morning.

However, not much emphasis (IF any) was given to the fact that it was a response to a direct anti-tank missile attack on an IDF jeep, etc.

Rocket fire follows earlier anti-tank missile attack on IDF jeep

In nearly all cases, Israeli response to Hamas rocket attacks are treated as news headlines (portrayed in a negative light)...with an additional spiel about the Israeli occupation, etc...whereas Hamas terrorist activities often go un-reported or at best as a very small side article.

There is always a constant emphasis upon Israeli military aggression...but with little to no spotlight on the terrorist behavior of Hamas/Hezbollah that created this type of counter response in the first place.

Israeli school children today (in southern Israel) are so 'used' to going into bomb-shelters because of continuous Hamas rocket fire on civilian areas...that it has become second nature.

Nobody ever seems to mention that, or offer much detail about how their lives are constantly being disrupted, and all the rest of it.
