Why Is Israel Always Shown As The Aggressor?
I’m seeing story after story about the renewed conflict in the middle east involving Israel. I see headlines like “Israeli Gaza strike kills more than 200.” Those headlines, and the way the media in general has covered this story, makes it sound like Israel gave its enemies a holiday present by launching an unprovoked attack and killing hundreds.
And yet, the truth is that Israel was under attack from Hamas for days before responding. Hamas was firing rocket after rocket at Israeli targets, and yet there was no widespread reporting of Hamas’ truly unprovoked attack. No pictures of the people killed, the damage done, by Hamas’ attack.
The double standard is disgusting.
