How come, eg, so much of their land has been occupied? I viewed a map of the diminishing land of the Palestinian people and frankly, any people whose land is occupied like that will and has a right to fight for it.
Something is wrong here. I would like to see some honest, truthful coverage of this situation on our own media, but all I ever see are Israeli spokespeople speaking not just for themselves, but for the Palestinian people. I find that insulting frankly.
Peres, last night on Piers Morgan eg, spoke about the Palestinians as if they were children. I know he probably did not realize it, but that is how it came across. Let them speak for themselves here or let neither side speak on our media. It is disturbing to see the attitude towards an entire people on our media. From the few Palestinians I have heard speak, they have impressed me as extremely intelligent and perfectly capable of speaking for themselves.
Our media is not only doing a disservice to the Palestinians with their very biased coverage, they are doing a disservice to Israel, making it look as though they are silencing the Palestinians because they have something to hide.
