in order to have efficient appeasement.

Where is the UN now???

Day in , day out, the titles on Ynet are the same....Minister of such and such takes this and that step while politicians are more concerned ( like our Arab cousins) about their own interests and their own political future ( Israel is such a samll country that their will not be enough portofolio for everone , right ? ) The situation has NOT changed compared to July 06. the goverment still has a tepid approach of the situation and NO real solution available to regain the upper hand. Right now, Hamas has the upper hand. Although they are criminals, engendered by other criminals, they have one thing that the Omert government does not : guts ! Let's not use the term " war", this could be bad PR for Israel. Arn't there any other bad PR to take care of , such as the 1.6 million Israeli living under poverty threshold ( an inheritance from the old labour days !) Come on folks, we are at war against terror. the times of David against Goliath are only used by Rabbis as an example. There is probably more gun in Gaza than what the "military establishement" has estimated ( we all know the value of the military establishment judgements and estimations , cf July 2006 !) Decisions, decisions...stop messing around !

And then Hamas says things like "We'll stop when Israel stops!" As if WE are the guilty party! Why isn't there a press conference for all the media in Israel??? To explain to them the situation!!

soon we are coming to liberate all of our land from spain to china, you zionist bil bil bil bil are running away from our brave ski masked heroes we are coming hani inshaalla we are coming

So much for the rumor of the media being controlled by Jews. As poster #4 pointed out, the only time the world's media gets upset is when Israel *defends* itself. Jewish casualties from Arab terrorist rockets? Not worth reporting. One injured terrorist? That's an affront to humanity! Maybe it's really the Arab world that controls the media. That's why the reporting is so one sided.
