First there's more than enough of this kind of thing going on on BOTH sides of 
the line in Israel. From what I understand getting news about Israel from The 
Guardian or BBC is like getting news about Democrats from Fox, so I'd like to 
get the full story. An unbiased source would be nice but I'm pretty sure 
there's no such thing when it comes to Israel.

>And this is a country that HAS nuclear weapons (and refuses to declare
>them and have them inspected).

Yeah....the only source of that is a potentially (bordering on probably) forged 
document from South Africa. There's more evidence that Iraq has nukes (and we 
all know they don't by now).

Also the idea here seems to be that these commandos were highly trained special 
forces. More likely they were people serving their required two years in the 
IDF (as every Israeli citizen is required by law to do). Likely their training 
consisted of basic training. Granted Israeli basic training includes one of the 
most badass martial arts on the planet, but it's still basic.

Also consider that no matter what Israel does they're always painted in the 
worst possible light. If Israeli snipers took down a suicide bomber before they 
can blow up a crowded building the headline would read "Israeli Snipers Kill A 
Man On A Crowded Street". Basically my point is that any news about Israel's 
'aggression' should be taken with a grain of salt. 

I'm not saying they aren't overly aggressive at times. I'm just saying there's 
no such thing as balanced reporting when it comes to that particular topic. 
Either you've got the pro-Israel people talking about how they were justified 
and ignoring anything they did wrong or you've got the anti-Israel people 
talking about how Israel is the devil nation. There's no in between.
