Why do you post this story? Can't you let the victim's blood dry before you cast blame towards them? I have been posting on this thread since Sept. I have followed what's been happening closely. Numerous links, reports, opinions etc. You were the guy who talked about what happened 55 yrs ago first, it just doesn't fit with the facts. Propaganda is a tool I can use, I usually know when I see it. Folks on this thread are typically interested in the truth.. I can raise the spin on my arguments to whatever pitch you desire them to be received at however. Solutions are not obtained unless you see clearly the nature of the problem. Propaganda does not help at all in this respect, I would be happier if it was not used.

>Jewish bodies lying in the streets in Israel, but you cheerfully post a story from 55 years ago about some acts that Jews might have done, after surviving one of the worst mass murders in the history of the world. Why do you post this story? Can't you let the victim's blood dry before you cast blame towards them? >> Not taking any sides here. And hate to be talking body counts. But a graph posted by New York Times recently overlay the killing of Palestinians against the killing of Jews in Israel on a bar chart. The numbers of Palestinians kiled were far more on a weekly basis and overall. Only on the weeks of suicide bombing were less palestinians killed. In the western media, the deaths in Israel are covered in greater detail. I believe the Al-jazeera covers the deaths in Palestine disproportionately. That seems to explain partially the perception of the West and the perception of the Arabs in this conflict.
