1. Hypocricy?
tiki ,   belgium   (08.10.14)
It's an international MEDIA POGROM on Israel, the JEW under the nations! The demagogue for the international masses of hate, lead by CNN, BBC & al Jazeera! If Israel wouldn't be so strong, the Arab lynch mobs would be inside their houses already, armed with guns, knifes & axes! Therefore they point their hysterical fury on the Jewish diaspora!
2. Very well expressed, concerned people

Very well expressed, concerned people should distribute this article (citing the source an linking to the URL). It would be interresting to see how most part of the lies spread by the media find their source in a little known magazine "Eurabia" edited in France in the '70s. There anybody can find the seminal work of blaming the Jews and Israel for any and all evil happeming in the world. Before that muslims stuck whether to their homemade religious antisemitism ("if a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree, the rock and the tree will shout to the Moslems, come and kill him" you can find it in the ....) or to the "anti imperialist" rethoric assorted with '30s fascist propaganda. Both of them too gross or too foreign to appeal to the averagely "reasoneable western citizen". The 1984's "newspeak" is the product of that think tank born from the european-arab agreements following the Yom Kippur war, and nobody seems to realize that the arab violated their own Ramadan in order to start a war... Maybe it would be more appropriate talking about the russian wars on terror like in Chechnya, showing pictures of Grosny looking like Dresden in 1945. I believe that antagonizing too much the West isn't really in our interest.
3. Israel have to learn how to ignore them!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (08.10.14)
Moral sickness in the world media is buying moral decadent of pure Islam. They love to keep such events of wars to keep themself busy. They have the market of 800,000,000 muslim viewers base who are living in denial!!! So sick as they themself see reality yet they preach that true Islam do not hurt anyone(muslim victims of isis) Pure Islam isis supported by sunni general public is also preaching Islam across the world media. European world is control by Germans in power and influence not to forget they supported the Kla muslim in Kosovo. In fact they manipulated the Serbian refugees from Kosovo falling into the trap to punished Serbian because of the partisan victory and courage. If there is any reason for the European to support hamas moral Amin al Husseini connection with the Germans have its common roots.

5. US "Leadership"
Dave Blevins ,   Deer Park, USA   (08.10.14)
Well, I have been sick of the "press", and their uneducated & extremely stupid journalists for years. But ya know what, you just can't shoot 'em lest you end up in prison. The U.S. is in very bad condition under the rule of their current government of Barak Obama. And even the liberal media doesn't want to cover him anymore. Absolutely the worst leadership we have ever had. Heads up to all of the citizenry in America. Get out and do something for your country by removing incompetent political "leaders" who couldn't lead a gnats' ass.
6. comment from yossi levy
Petra Edut ,   germany   (08.10.14)
living in germany and following the news on different television stations in germany and cnn concerning the situation in the middle east, I can agree to more then 100% with Mr Levy. The truth that Hamas is hiding behind civilians and the IDF is doing what ever possible to safe civilians life, nobody want to hear and it is in the media just a small note. Showing hurted children gets more attention on the different tv chancels. An example I didnt hear anything in the media from the last executions on their own people in Gaza.
7. Same standards?
Jim Howland ,   Athens, GA, US   (08.18.14)
From an American: Why the emphasis "on every Gaza casualty while ignoring civilian deaths in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, Libya and Kenya"? Because Israel is our friend. Because we support Israel with our money and with our influence in the UN and around the world. If Bibi and Likud wish to be held to the same standards as Assad, or Boko Haram, or ISIL, that's their choice, but who thinks America will continue to support Israel under such circumstances?
8. Western media bias
Neil ,   Canada   (08.24.14)
Great article. The media in Europe report whatever will help support the position they predetermine.
