124. We might not see Israel's side to it presented on DU, but it is presented

By the media, again and again, and often the huge events that Israel precipitates are swept under the rug by that same media. For instance, most Americans have no idea that Israel's "incursion" into Lebanon in 1982 resulted in at least 20,000 civilian casualties.

I can remember from forty five years ago, when there were problems between the Israels and the Palestinians, that Chicago newspapers always spoke of "Israelis being killed" with the word "murder" sometimes being interjected into the news article, while the Palestinians simply "died."

I too hope that both sides will someday live in peace. Over the years there have been twenty or more moderate organizations that have sprung up, inside Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or inside the Palestinian ghettos. And the moderate leaders are always gunned down, with the PLO being blamed (back in the day), and now of course Hamas. But cynics among us believe that it is likely that the murderous end of some of the organizations has to do with Likkud, as well.
