Albert,
If that is what jewish-influenced means than I am ready to apologize. My understanding of jewish-influenced is completely different.
Maybe you are more paranoid than others. <g>
One thing that is undeniable is that the participation in media by Jews is way out of proportion compared to general population (my WAG, I live in New York). My guess is that Gottfried tried to say that the coverage on Mid-East issues is slanted in favor of Israel because of the disproportional participation of Jewish people in media. (with which I disagree)
My opinion that these Jewish journalists are mostly liberal and very naive about the real world. Even if they did try their best to help Israel, they would fail. They were falling over each other about this alleged "peace process", they were crazy about the Ehud Barak character, who brought Israel to the brink of self destruction.
The only real friend Israel has in media is Charles Krauthammer washingtonpost.com (IMO). Whether the 99 bimbos vs. 1 Charles Krauthammer are jewish or gentile makes no difference.
Both Palestinians and Israeli's want peace but because of the few radical groups it is almost impossible to achieve.
That's what the bimbos of supposedly Jew-controlled media are saying. I disagree.
Palestinians don't want peace while the talk is of them having only a piece of Israel. They don't want a piece, they want the whole thing. Israel is willing to give up a piece for peace, but they are getting nowhere since there is no middle ground. No matter how big a piece Israel is willing to give up, it will never be big enough, since Palestinians want the whole thing.
If Israelis wanted peace over everything else, they could capitulate, pack up and go elsewhere (New York?). Otherwise, there will never be peace.
What makes things worse is that Palestinians think that they have a chance of one day really getting the whole thing. That's what makes them crazy to the point of blowing themselves up to pieces in order to kill Jews.
This is different from for example Mexicans may have a desire of one day getting Texas through California back to Mexico, but they have no expectations that this will ever happen, therefore, don't spend a minute of a day thinking about it.
Anyway, while I think there will never be lasting peace in Israel / Palestine, there may be truce, if the expectations of Palestinians are altered. This sounds like a plan for that: nypost.com
