What is your point here?

My point is very simple here. I only see the news in English. Even so, if you were the average Arab, and saw the goings on in the Western Press, would you trust anything of their sources?

I read the English versions of many newspapers. The western press has maybe the best reputation for being a "free press", but you have to add the interests of the country.

Sure, I am not saying the Arab newspapers are superior in any way, but I am saying what the average Arab mind will perceive on reading the "Wests" news.

Russia and the Ukraine, for example have all sorts of problems with corruption. What do we think of them? Then in their shoes what do they think of us??

I do not feel as easy as you do that all we do is "right".

I certainly do not say prayers "god speed the tanks" in the Israeli situation.

More like "God speed real peace and understanding"

That's my point.
