OF THE
TIMES
Oh you're talking about... oh first of all maybe we have a discussion about who is a journalist and if you'll allow me I will elaborate on this. There is the al-Aqsa station, which is a station that is a Hamas command and control facility, just as in other totalitarian regimes; the media is used by the regime for command and control and also for security purposes. From our point of view that's not a legitimate journalist.Al-Jazeera's correspondent then followed-up by asking, "So what are you saying? That a local Arab journalist life is any less than an internationalist journalist?" Apparently for Regev, yes, in Gaza there are no legitimate Palestinian journalists, only targets.
WeightAre we supposed to believe that rockets which are more than 6 meters in length and which require a 10.45 meter launcher, and weighing some 16,000 kg (including the system), have been smuggled into Gaza through the tunnels? Gaza is under seige and under constant Israeli surveillance. How big do you imagine smuggling tunnels to be, and how easy do you think it is to carry supplies through them? Even if the rockets were dismantled, how many of them do you think could be succesfully delivered, reassembled and launched, and how much manpower and time would that require?

Comment: You know, some writers and think tank warmongers might be shocked. There are actually countries and peoples whose only strategy is to be happy, safe, comfortable and secure. They do not blood-lust or sit around hating and plotting strategies how to overcome, murder and pillage others. Is that too difficult for governments of the West to imagine, or are the Western governments and their financial sponsors the ones sitting foaming at the mouth seeking ways to make it look 'humane' to rob, butcher and kill their way to more wealth?
For a recent and fair analysis of Western media's way of making talking points to control the direction of peoples thinking have a look at this:It's Palestinians who have the right to defend themselves
So while there are people in Lebanon who do hope and pray for Gaza and the Palestinian people, the reasons they likely do not seek to get involved in a war with the 4th largest army in the world, can be seen quite easily. 1. To try and keep things stable. 2. Hope that things will calm. 3. Prepare for the worst, as the whole house of cards may come crashing down any moment and bring on human suffering and misery on a scale not seen in this century.
It's as if the media's writers and analyst seek butchery with their way of telling things, sneaking bias directly into peoples minds.
