Actually, until I read this piece, I didn’t realize how far Turkey had gone in recent weeks, either.
I read a whole lot of material from everywhere every day, and what’s been going on with them just hasn’t been reported.
It isn’t just the lying crapola this media establishment publishes that makes them so dangerous, it’s what they hush up or ignore.
To whatever extent we’re still relying on them we’re susceptible to being ill or misinformed.
You make some real solid points here. It is quite important to note what we are not informed about. I think it’s much easier for Israel to look like the bad guy, when you consider that the attacks against it are played down like they are.
Was the public told about Israel coming under rocket attack every day for years? Were they told that the average day saw hundreds of missiles raining in?
No wonder Israel looks bad when it takes violent measures to react, even if they are measured.
What if St. Louis had to put up with thousands of rocket attacks each week? Would it’s mayor just shrug his shoulders and roll over? Would his constituency let him?
People need to think of Israel as their home town. Would they put up with what it has to endure?
And yet, there are some people who just don’t get it.
Turkey sure doesn’t.
