On CNN a few moments ago, Christiane Amanpour, in the midst of an otherwise completely warped report on the Gaza war, said that over the past year only two Israelis were killed by Hamas rocket fire. Her point in the segment was to intimate that Israel is overreacting to Hamas attacks that have been largely harmless. In order to do that, she had to abstain from mentioning important facts and context, such as that Hamas' attacks in 2008 more than doubled - to 3,278 from the the 2007 number. And this figures in the six-month "lull" period, during which "only" around 100 rockets were fired. She also didn't mention that the range and deadliness of Hamas' rockets increased as well, putting around 15% of the Israeli population within range. The "disproportionality" fetishists also never get around to noting that Israel has conducted less than a thousand air strikes in response to over 7,000 Hamas rocket attacks since 2005. Amanpour's "errors" always seem to work in one direction, don't they?

>>>Has anyone noticed that CNN has a number of Islamic apologists for terrorism?
Nope. I don’t watch that garbage.
If poorly made, poorly aimed rocket bombs were heading to the Amanpour bedroom, would they be harmless?
According to liberal doctrine, we’re supposed to be friendly and negotiate with the terrorists and then hate Israel. It’s like the liberals have their own “gospel,” and they expect all to follow it or something.
Gee, it's hard not too since almost everyone is they have on air
Amanpour has always been one
Yes, the war slut has always been a muzzie lover and not so secret Jew hater
What rock have you been living under for the past two decades? What do you expect to find while you are supporting liberal media?
I was hoping Christine Amanforsure would get the personalized tour of the Iraqi shredding machine facility by Uday or Qusay.

Seems to me that if some doofus neighbor down the street daily and indiscriminately lobbed lawn darts directed at other yards than his with nefarious intent, things might develop into a situation.
War can be defined as, “When you kill one of mine to start it, I will kill ALL of yours to end it!”
The “War Whore” with her hair helmut - has never recovered from being a very priviliged Iranian under the deposed Shaw..
I'm sorry, but if you shoot at me and miss, I'm treating you just like you shot at me and hit me. Further, my retaliation will not be aimed at exacting similar damage. It will be precisely aimed at assuring that you are TOTALLY UNABLE to shot at me again, since you obviously can't be trusted to come to that decision on your own.
MEASURED RESPONSE is just another BS euphemism created by the looney left.
I noticed too that when CNN claimed that both Israel and Hamas had broken the cease fire, they pointed out that Israel’s attacks had killed Palestinians, but Hamas’ had resulted in no Israeli deaths.
I have heard claims that Israel broke the truce first, but that was from a link on this site and the woman who was making the claim had an Arabic or Muslim surname. I don’t trust any reporters, so I take her claims with a huge grain of salt.
Propagandists ought to face consequences.
I say that: “War is hell.” Is only half the quote. The other half is, “When we are at war it’s our job to make war YOUR hell.”
Christiane also fails to note that those "only two" persons killed in Israel were everyday citizens going about their everyday lives. (Like the 2000 innocent people killed in the WTC.)
...while most of those killed in Gaza are murderers, or people complicit in murder. The innocents who are killed in Gaza sadly have been placed there as human targets by their own murderous fathers.
Remember when that Hezbollah guy held up the dead body of a baby? Come to find out these tough guys launch missiles into Israel then run and hide behind women and babies. Never mind that they have killed Israeli's. It's just so sad to see an American news station try to make this something other than it is. Israel has had to live with threats of annihilation every day for 60 years.
The only thing I regularly watch on CNN is the Lou Dobbs’ show. But I occasionally channel surf to see what the “enemy” is up to.
