2/7: Man vs tank

I would only note that, while Israel is roundly condemned in the US and UK media for human rights violations, the PA and the surrounding Arab regimes- dictatorships, every one- seem to get off scot free in most of the media's eyes. Ain't no angels here, sadly enough.

Note that Tom gets almost all of his information from the aforementioned US and UK media.

Consider the media source at all times- all media is biased in some way or another,

That was the first thing that came to mind when I read AI's report--"A little biased against Israel." The one thing that concerned me was that I saw nothing about Palestine against Israel, but Palestine against their OWN people. And quite frankly, no one can tell me that Palestine (or other Arab countries) have not committed atrocities against Israel during the past 53 years.

Don't worry, Adam. I just happened to read that info and thought of Tom first. If I find some ammo for you, I'll send it along. :-)

Also, how ironic that Israel is attacked by media in the US (Israel's banking specialist) and the UK (Israel's former colonial power). Although, it seemed like the US was pro-Israel for the longest. Only recently has the balance shifted against Israel...at least from what I've seen.

Not that there should be bias anyway...
