terrorist attack goes off in Spain and the world mourns and everyone denounces
the terrorists. A terrorist attack goes off in Israel and the world says little
(or blames Israel) and everyone mentions how it's the work of 'militants'.
A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. Doesn't matter if they kill innocents
in Spain, Israel or anywhere else.
NYTimes, AP, AFP, Washington Post and the BBC all have no problem calling an
attack outside of Israel a terrorist attack but can't seem to use the T word
when the attack is inside Israel. Reuters is just as bad, but worse in this case
and it describes the Spain attack as the work of 'guerillas'. Of course, to them
Hamas (who vow to totally destroy Israel and all Jews, even women and children)
are described as 'guerillas' as well.
Should I really be getting so upset? I know that the news agencies lie and
manipulate both words and news to fit their political, moral or whatever
agendas. There is no truth in advertising. There is no truth in those who are
supposed to bring us truth. This is the state of the world.
Truth for sale and everyone willing to buy whatever is being sold, even if
they're being ripped off. The truth being sold is false.
