Hi Haim R. Branisteanu; Re: "Carl, did the US let Journalist enter Afghanistan to report on the US WAR on terrorism??" They did, but under US control. That wasn't enough, so journalists went in under Northern Alliance or Taliban control. The journalists that went in under Taliban control put out propaganda for the Taliban. But there's a big difference between Afghanistan and Palestine. Afghanistan was a war and wars are about killing people and breaking things. The Israeli / Palestinian situation is, by comparison, quite peaceful. The conflict instead of being about killing and destruction is instead about propaganda and the difference between right and wrong. Re: "... Israeli lesser rights than the US Army?" The situation has nothing to do with the rights of the participants. What it has to do with is US (and world) opinion on the justness of the actions and motivations of the participants. I'll let the rest of your post stand on its own. -- Carl
