it. CNN said what it was.
I'm not speaking on the rights or wrongs of the situation in Israel here.
I'm speaking on how news agencies are presenting it. I see a distinct
difference between a strike on a millitary complex and one on a civilian
resturant. Most news agencies don't.
I've said it before and will say it again. If the killings against Jews
stopped, the incitement to murder ended and the desire for true peace
existed, most Jews world wide would back the Palestinians for a fair
settlement. All Arafat has to do (if he is a leader or even in control) is
stop the terrorists rather than pay them.

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.

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.

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.
