"Israel Attacks Gaza, Silence from Mainstream Media about Israeli Violations of International Law"

Now that's just utter crap. Does nobody remember when Israel was dragged through the mud by the media over the legality of its security wall?

Israel is CONSTANTLY accused by the mainstream media of human rights and international law violations. That guy's a conspriacy theorist nutjob if he thinks the view that Israel is violating int. law is being suppressed.

If there were gross violations of international law on Israel's part, I'm sure *someone* other than the Arabs (in other words, a third party to this conflict) would have denounced it already within diplomatic circles.

All I've heard has been 'justified, but perhaps excessive, force'.

It's hard for Left-wing Zionists like myself to respond to this conflict. On one hand I see Israel's right to defend itself against a terrorist organization. However, it's impossible to not feel for the innocent civilians that are dying. What's pissing me off the most about this, are the people on both sides over-simplifying the situation and simply taking a side. This includes most of the American and Australian Zionist-Lobby who will simply support Israel whatever the case.  As well as Leftist organizations such as the Socialist Alternative who have no hesitation in calling Israel's action a war crime without actually understanding the reason behind the conflict. It's also difficult to know what to beleive considering the varying news reports and both sides accussing the media of bias.

I remind AQ that unfoundedly accusing a country of ethnic cleansing (I.E. wishing to wipe out gaza) and making racial slurs are violations of the code of conduct.

*** A MUST SEE documentary if your interested in the israel-palestine conflict . this is a VERY GOOD and informative documentary, i recommend watching all 11 parts of the documentary

but i tend to be leaning towards palestinians and condeming israel for their occupation of the palestinian land
