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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319844 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
