Then why don't I ever see it in articles against Israel? There is no "apparently" when they ran 3 days of a girl being shot. It was Israel's fault. That was the story, flat out. No questioning what happened or how. First blaim Israel and then find out that there was fighting in the area. I'd like to see some balance in their usage of words that are designed to show doubt. "Apparently", "Allegedly" both designed to throw doubt onto the reported situation. As for who's to blaim, we know who's to blaim. The terrorist groups who have offices in Syria (they're only news offices). The terrorist groups in Egypt now talking about how to co-ordinate their attacks (not end them as some papers will tell you). The countries who are funding these scum rather than trying to help out the Palestinians through education and enhanced livelyhood. The political system that are teaching the Palestinians that death is great if you take a Jew with you. I don't see a lot of greed there. Just people who need to be removed from existance. And the media is just as much at fault for putting their own 'spin' on it. Moral equivilance. Moral justification. BS
