Re: Putting things in perspective
by alparis
All Israelis and Jews should be grateful that you took the time to get to the bottom of this story. One could only wish that your post would get the same number of hits as those trying to make us out to be barbarians. However, this is very unlikely and a lot of damage has already and will continue to be done. Just like the al Dura video, people who want to believe the worst will eat it up. Regarding your point of how Israeli media does not show gory photos of dead people, I can tell you as one who reads the Arabic media on a daily basis that this is certainly not the case there. Most of the Arabic sites I've seen have been showing graphic photos of wounded and dead children. I'm still shocked every time I encounter this. A perusal this morning of the Arabic media turned up Al Jazeera calling the city of Karmiel a mustawtana or a colony and disgusting caricatures published in Al Watan (Qatar) and the London-based Al Quds Al Arabi. See: http://www.al-watan.com/data/20060720/index.asp?page=cartoon.htm and http://www.alquds.co.uk/index.asp?fname=2006\07\07-20\xa42.htm&storytitle=ffالحريري%20وقلب%20الأولوياتfff. Thank God there are people like you to counter those who poison the minds of millions with hate. Bravo aleki habibti Al
