It’s only a scratch.

Thousands more Arabs died at the hands of Arabs in the same time period as the Israeli defense strategy. They just didn’t have camera crews ready to stage gory photos to post on Facebook.

The so-called “news” media is in the tank for the terrorists.

CNN Poll: Majority of Americans side with Israel in Gaza fighting

I have read that younger people do not support Israel. Makes you wonder what they have been taught in school.

From 2005 onwards, Israeli Apartheid Week has hijacked (pun intended), and absolutely DOMINATED the discourse on college campuses, as well as many high schools. Most of the young people have been exposed to a steady diet of trendy Anti-Semitism and pro-Jihadi propaganda since then.

Even before ‘05, the groundwork was already laid with the ‘documentaries’ ‘Loose Change’ and ‘Zeitgeist’.

Israel is use to it. They will no more get fair, accurate coverage than conservatives will get in the US Media.

Goes with the territory.

Correction: Media coverage of Israel’s victory in Gaza once again reveals the anti-semitism harbored by many in the world.

Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Wounds are painful, but ultimately easier to live with, as opposed to self-imposed, bipolar amputations, staged, filmed and marketed for effect.

The media coverage isn’t going to kill any Israeli’s. The tunnels might. I’d say they still came out ahead in the end.

"...very little attention paid to whether or not Hamas’ assertion that most of the dead are women and children"

I have abandoned many forums that have suddenly become dominated by hate-filled anti-Semites. I stand with Israel and the Lion of Judah.

I can agree to disagree with people on most issues....But support Hamas over Israel and I’ll want nothing to do with you.

I know a couple of hardcore leftist Jews who suddenly find out that the Marxist douchebags they so admired are actually jew-hating asswipes under their berets.

They honestly were shocked to find out that international socialists despise Israel and it's people. And they feel slighted by Obama/Clinton/Kerry like their actions haven't been entirely consistent over the last decade or more.

Liberals can barely tolerate Jews and they despise Israel. You can only hit a dumb mule with a 2x4 so many times before he realizes you are not his friend - the smacks over the last few weeks finally opened some eyes.

Well, maybe there’s some hope for the truth.

There is much to what you said there. That's why the "badly wounded" phrase in the posting title is correct.

Many of today's US senators are older folks who are sympathetic to Israel. They understand the plight of the Jews. Eventually that will change. Then Israel will truly be on its own.

There was never any doubt as to who would win the war. Who would win the peace, is what is at stake.

Nothing useful or practical in any subject, these days.
