Of course there was a lull. The lull was widely commented on. Not a stoppage but a lull. Reacting to "lull" as though it conveyed "stoppage" rather than "a temporary pause or decline in activity " is too much. No, karen. There was a decline of about one-third in attempts. What made the "lull" was that the Israeli success rate in stopping the attempts rose from 90% to 100% for those few months. If you are inclined to resent the continued attempt to blow up civilians, and consider it an act of aggression, there was never any lull there. I don't think there's any way to avoid the negative response from readers and viewers but to get rid of the bias, including the bias against axe murders. The media should not be cheerleaders for anything There is always bias, and the media's attempt to get rid of it only results in a stance of neutrality between the arsonist and the firefighter. Since civil society does not happen of itself as a law of nature, but reflects popular attitutdes, attitudes which the media helps shape, I do not appreciate these efforts at objectivity. I want bias for civil society and the rule of law, and against the deliberate murder of civilians. What is an isn't a war crime is a very fuzzy area, particularly over time and venue What is and isn't a war crime is an important stake in the ideological wars, and the WOT is very much an ideological war. That is the point that you are missing when you join the calls for 'objectivity'.
