More unbalanced reporting - The two dead soldiers

NAHARIYA, Israel - Thousands of Israelis prayed and cried at funerals Thursday for two soldiers whose return from Lebanon in black coffins touched off a nationwide wave of anguish.

My heart breaks for that nation of sensitive souls that is so anguished over the dead bodies of state soldier-terrorists "Udi and Eldad". What noble cherishing of human life, what sensitivity and empathy that the entire world must be made to watch the drama of this funeral while just a few kilometers down the road an entire nation is systematically brutalized and massacred. Alas, you never hear the first names of "Palestinian Terrorists" in Gaza, Nablus, Jenin or the rest of occupied Palestine. The cronnies at AP and other new agencies continue to validate the bitter reality that an Israeli life is worth more than a thousand Arab lives by placing such phoney news as front page stories on the AP wire. Where are those truth-seeking journalists and editors when it comes time to documenting the coffins of slain Palestinians (please, lets just call them non-Jews, because being an Israeli is not sufficient for exalted status, you have to be a Jew)

Do you know the name of this 8-year old girl? Please look for the news of her death in the press because this link will tell you that she was killed by an Israeli Apache helicopter a month ago that targeted this child terrorist. Along with her are hundreds of civilians that are still being killed by the Israeli genocide machine.

I challenge the brave journalists of the free and not-so-free press to be equitable in their reporting of the news of deaths of Arab and Jew alike.
