So broadcasting people's suffering is media bias? Notice how no American media channel broadcasts any American caskets returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. Would you consider that media bias?

...and here we have Hamas' willingness to use their own people as human shields in a number of large secondary explosions due to large ammo supplies in civilian areas.

Name one area of Gaza which isn't densely populated. Gaza has 7000 people per square mile. WTF do you expect?

Where do you expect them to fight you idiot.
I mean, you could apply this same argument to the French Resistence during WWII.

When it's slanted in one direction, definitely. And don't act like American media is all righteous... all they do is show doom and gloom because sensationalism gets ratings. They may not show the caskets, but they show murder and rape stories about 1000x more than positive stories.

Why is reporting from the Gaza Strip slanted in one direction? Who is getting bombed and blockaded here? It isn't Israel. In fact, Israel has not allowed any foreign reporters into the Gaza, so in fact, Israel is the one slanting the news coming out from the war zone. Lucky for al-Jazeera, they already had a few reporters in the war zone before it erupted, so they are the only ones broadcasting from inside Gaza, lucky for them, and lucky for their viewers who get to see the reality of war, without it being censored in the interests of Zionist aparteid.

when a third party newspaper shows an Israeli woman in a state of fear because of rocket alarm right next to a palestinian women who lost 5 children and tries to equate their suffering, how is this bias on the palestinians favor. I am using this example because it is the run of the mill portrayal of the situation.
Israeli comedy pointing fingers at the BBC, when their own government wont let their own journalists inside...and yet you people eat it up.
what Clovis said is absolutely true, and the sad thing is is that the Israelis know this.
Ban Ki Moon has already condemned Olmert/Livni/Baraks' actions, and the Rogue state of Israel wont do anything about it. They have proven their invincibility with recent events.
I motion to disband Israel of their nucleur weapons stockpile, since they have no regard for the UN, the UN and all affiliate organizations should have no acceptance of their stockpile.
As for what Krypton said, i know there are 2 reporters + crew for the english channel, they scared less right now, Israel might just wipe them out and say it was collateral damage.
nonetheless it seems that they are in a once in a lifetime opurtunity to report, thats what journalism is all about imo

Israel has killed more of Hamas's top figures in the past few days.
Anyone issuing a fatwa on the state of Israel won't be spared.
Go Israel! Show the world how to properly combat global terrorism :gsmile:

this will not end well.... and its sad that the "rotten to the core HATE" that has invaded both sides is going to win out and many will die....and why again?? Whats the core Reason Why??

Once there's a big enough stranglehold on the terrorist-loving Iranian government perhaps some of the hate will go away.
The Arab countries have been trying to put forth a ceasefire while Iran is constantly encouraging for the battle to rage on: http://www.asharq-e.com/news.asp?section=2&id=15396
"Ahmadinejad said, “It is unfortunate to see a number of Islamic and Arab governments in the region condone this unprecedented genocide with their silence and smiles of satisfaction”. But the question here is: what has Iran done for Gaza? Its Supreme Leader issued a fatwa against any suicide bombers going to Gaza and Saeed Jalili pledged that Hezbollah would not get involved in the battle.
Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad’s Syrian ally has his own land occupied and shares a long border [with Israel], so why hasn’t it been opened so that Iranian suicide bombers could be dispatched from there? In actual fact, the Syrian said on Wednesday that he agreed that weapons should not be smuggled into Gaza and that there should be a halt to rockets being launched, so how can Egypt be accused of treachery? And why haven’t the Qataris closed the Israeli trade office in Doha?
That was not enough for Ahmadinejad; he published a letter to the Saudi monarch on his website saying, “It is expected of you to break your silence on the catastrophic events and on the murder of your children.” All I can say is look who’s talking!
It was King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz who brought the Palestinians together in Mecca whereas Iran and its allies are the ones who pushed Hamas to violate the agreement and carry out the coup in Gaza.
It was King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz who told the Palestinians in Mecca, “Do not destroy yourselves and destroy us,” whereas Ahmadinejad and his allies destroyed the Palestinians, divided the Palestinian rank and caused the split. They are responsible for the bloodshed of innocent people in Gaza." They are responsible for the bloodshed of innocent people in Gaza.
