Glad you can get SkyNews where you are. I'm just glad to see these camps exposed. The Izzies know where they are and would take them out, level them, if it weren't going to set European opinion on a higher boil.

The problem with the report, was that there seemed to be barely any disgust about what was being filmed. Just another day in Paliland. It seemed to be more along the lines of "desensitizing the public", rather than an exposé.

Hopefully people watching will be rightly appalled, but that didn't seem to be the intent of the report. While not directly slanted toward the Palis, the report nonetheless portrayed the camp closer to a "this is just how they do things" situation, rather than "how can they abuse children like this and teach them to be so full of violence and hate". If there was any outrage to be generated, it was as if we should be angry with Israel, for reducing these poor Palis to using their children in the struggle against occupation. Oh those desperate Palis gotta do what they've gotta do.

It wasn't what was said in the report, but rather what was left unsaid.

Just like no-knock raids and SWAT teams shown on those cop reality shows... pretty soon it all looks normal to the TV-doped masses.
