Hi Mephisto, I watched the Hebron segment of Frontline. It is perhaps the most honest look at the vile and despicable Israeli genocide that I've ever seen on U.S. TV. It's a sad commentary on the attitudes of America's decision makers that we can watch a show about the plight of journalists in the West Bank while they gloss over the fact that the journalists are there by choice and can escape the terror. The Palestinians are prisoners in their own country, being overrun by a fascistic and genocidal alien culture. To put things in perspective, last year a handful of journalists were murdered by the IDF, the Israeli army. In Columbia 55 journalists were murdered by the various factions at war there. There are advantages to living in the relatively peaceful U.S.A. For instance, we can enjoy fantasy at its finest on our TVs. We see "Saving Private Ryan" during a slow moment of the Iraqi War and have a pretty soldier turned into a heroine by a phony production company operating out of the Pentagon. In the meantime, a humanitarian like Rachel Corrie is run over by an IDF bulldozer and the media in essence buries the story because it isn't convenient to the myths of Israel and America.
