16 Israelis dead, and there is practically no TV news coverage of the event.

When I first saw it on the internet, I check out CNN, FOX and MSNBC. They were all doing normal stories. I even began to wonder if the story was real.

Either I slipped through some weird scheduling crack and just happened to check in during breaks in coverage, or the US media is scaling back on its Israel news...

Force evacuate everyone from Jenin, then level the entire town. Another bombing, then another town.

There is no excuse in this world for Israel sitting back and tolerating this insanity. The only way to cure this type of mental illness is to wipe them out. Unfortunately, the innocent Arabs will be punished with the guilty, so my advice to all of them is to leave, since they cannot control their brethern. I know, I know, no one else wants these savages either.

Actually I just watched several minutes of coverage by FNC. But you're right, I flipped to CNN and MSNBC after seeing your post(about 3 minutes past the hour), MiSrepresentNBC was back onto homeland issues, CNN blathering about the Westerfield case(perhaps a much more direct threat to CNN news people, given their 'morals' and proclivities).

FNC did give a good sense of the horror of the scene, with stark images of the charred bus frame, volunteers sifting through ashes looking for body parts(so all victims are buried properly within Jewish customs), and explanation that the bus was blown up in front of a prison holding Palestinian terrorists.

I say(with no sarcasm) pulll out the jailers and blow up the jail.

The American public has a short attention span. And it is hard in general to sustain a high level of outrage.

One benefit of frequent attacks, from the Palestinian point of view, is to numb the population of Israel's chief ally.
