Mike,

I know that you are passionate about this, but some perspective...

The attacks in Spain were the worst in that country's history, by far. They were Spain's "9/11" if you will. Further, while there have been attacks in the past in Spain, they are not the regular occurrances that they have (sadly) become in Israel. That, I believe, is the cause for the "bias" of which you speak.

Don't get me wrong, even as an American of Palestinian descent, I can see where you are coming from in regards to the world media's coverage of attacks in Israel in general. However I must disagree with you in that when I saw the initial story on CNN.com, it did refer to the attacks as terrorist acts.

To John,
Perhaps the saddest thing about the continued mess in Israel and the Palestinian Territories is that, contrary to what you may see on the evening news, I would guess that about 90% of both Israelis and Palestinians support a peace in their region. It is the fanatic 10%, on both sides, that permeates the problems there.

Just some of my observations.
