This is about murder in Israel and its reportage by CNN(controlled by a mr
levin ).
The quote at the end is interesting.

Dear Friends,
At around ten p.m. last night, twenty-year old Shlomo Elyakim of Netanya was
driving home with his seventeen year- old girlfriend, and three other family
members: two girls and an eighty-two year old grandmother.  They'd spent the
day on a picnic in the blooming Galilee. The road they were on was Wadi Ara,
a main highway that connects Israel's coast with its North, the Sea of
Galilee, Safad.
It is a heavily traveled road, no where near anyone's concept of a Green
Line (which today gives any young man with a gun the right to execute
civilians, a right particular to our part of the world. In any other part of
the world it's murder).  A young man flagged down the car and asked
directions to the nearby Israeli Arab village of Uhm El Fahum.
When they provided him with helpful directions,(and he thereby ascertained
they were indeed Israeli Jews), another car pulled up alongside, took out
automatic weapons and sprayed the car with bullets. Mr. Elyakim was
murdered. The women injured, one of them badly.  How did CNN report this
horrendous crime against humanity, this violation of the Geneva Convention
on human rights? This shooting in cold blood, in the back, of a grandmother
and teenage girls, and a young, unarmed boy?  "An Israeli soldier was
killed." That's all you will hear about it from CNN.
Mr. Elyakim was not in uniform. He was not killed because he was a soldier.
He was not in combat. All of this is the distortion we get from CNN's
wording of this incident. Like Goebbel's, CNN's reporters and editors are
master craftsmen of this kind of propaganda.  Ben Wedeman, another CNN
reporter, interviewed Arabs waiting to cross into Israel from army
checkpoints.
He listened and showed the terrible plight of these people who have to wait
four hours to get into a country in which they are often the perpetrators of
cold-blooded murder. And when one of them said, what else can you expect us
to do, but become terrorists after being treated this way?
Mr. Wedeman, his kind heart bleeding, nodded in goodness and compassion.  It
takes four hours to get into Disneyland, Mr. Wedeman. Are you suggesting
disgruntled ticket-buyers bring Uzi submachine guns to express their
legitimate outrage at such terrible suffering? And what about the wait of
those going from Spain to Gibraltar? And that's part of the European Union!
Also hours.
Like Goebbels, CNN, the BBC, and Sky News, all have their insidious agenda.
None of this, my friends, is an accident. A coincidence. My own theory is
that they are busy preparing the world for the next Kristallnacht. They want
to be sure all of you out there understand that those militant, horrible
Jews have it coming to them, just like their relatives in Berlin. Poisoning
wells, destroying the purity of blood lines....and torturing the
peace-loving Palestinian people, who only want to drive the occupiers from
their land (and our land, remember the U.N.  vote? But hey, to whom does
that matter these days?) Below, I bring you a passage from The Rise and Fall
of the Third Reich. I found it very instructive. It convinced me we have to
keep fighting them, keep exposing them for what they are.
P247, Life in the Third Reich
"I myself was to experience how easily one is taken in by a lying and
censored press and radio in a totalitarian state. Though unlike most Germans
I had daily access to foreign newspapers, especially those of London, Paris
and Zurich and though I listened regularly to the BBC and other foreign
broadcasts, my job necessitated the spending of many hours a day combing the
German press, checking the German radio, conferring with Nazi officials and
going to party meetings. It was surprising and sometimes consternating to
find that notwithstanding the opportunities I had to learn the facts and
despite one's inherent distrust of what one learned from Nazi sources, a
steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain
impression on one's mind and often misled it. No one...can possibly conceive
how difficult it is to escape the dread consequences of a regimes'calculated
and incessant propaganda. Sometimes one was tempted to say as much, but on
such occasions one was met with such a stare of incredulity, such a shock of
silence, as if one had blasphemed the Almighty, that one realized how
useless it was even to try to make contact with a mind which had become
warped and for whom the facts of life had become what Hitler and Goebbels,
with their cynical regard for truth, said they were." The Rise and Fall of
the Third Reich, William L.
