As the Operation Protective Edge is concluding, it is becoming more apparent that the Media did a horrendous job in terms of reporting the real issues and instead acted as Hamas Propaganda Mouth-piece. Of course, again, as I will explain later, pure global Anti-Semitism had a lot to do with it plus Muslim and Arab population that these Media were catering to in order to grab more viewers. A lot of reporters are speaking out against their treatment by Hamas in Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Operation.
1) "Why don’t the media show the relatively open areas of the Gaza Strip?” He then poses a couple of answers. Firstly, it would reveal that Hamas could be firing rockets and building tunnels in these areas but has chosen not to. Or that Hamas won’t let the media access those areas. In either case, it would be something worth reporting.
2) “Why doesn’t Hamas use sparsely populated areas from which to launch its rockets and build its tunnels?” The answer here is crystal clear: Palestinian civilian casualties would decrease dramatically but the death of terrorist would do the opposite. Hamas uses civilians as shields – which their own battle manual mandates, completely the opposite of Israel. Simply put, this is a war crime and Hamas is therefore responsible for its own civilian deaths.
3) “Why does the United Nations try to shelter Palestinian civilians right in the middle of the areas from which Hamas is firing?” Why not use the sparsely populated areas for refuge? The result of this would be to deny Hamas the ability to use civilians as shields and lead to a dramatic reduction in the deaths of civilians. By not doing so, the UN supports precisely what Hamas intends: to force Israel to attack areas where UN-protected civilians are.

Do you really think the world will buy this? This is not a war of equal arms, if Hamas were to fight from open ground it would be suicide. Desperate situations require desperate measures to make out that the enemy is the satan in the eyes of the world. The problem is that the world is satan so showing satan he is satan is like holding up a mirror, lets hope both side see the refection of themselves in the mirror. All the good people can do is pray hope that both side see it before it's to late.
Ben Kahen: Exactly, or at least make some military sanctions on Israel. If no equivalence in causalities no hope for peace. Hopefully every thing will converge to peace even war.
Whether you put military sanction or not, Israel is producing its arms. At the same time, there is absolutely no reason to punish Israel because Israel is completely justified to protect its citizens. It is Hamas that is endangering and using its citizens for its own gain and it is obvious to everybody.
