Operation Take Back the Media
...
I was sitting in the middle of lecture when a professor said, “You know, I’m surprised that a Palestinian movie won a Golden Globe since we all know that the Zionists control the media.” Hold up. I laughed out loud. Except, it wasn’t funny. Because everyone around me was nodding their heads in agreement. “Oh, hell no. He did not just say that,” I said in my not-so-sotto voce.

Let me break it down for you. Over the last 24 hours, our cousins in Gaza have hurtled 70 — 70! — rockets at us. (Now, lucky for us, their aim sucks and we have Iron Dome, but that isn’t the point.) Here’s the point. No one is talking about it in the mainstream global media. No one.
So, help me understand. When an Israeli soldier so much as sneezes on a Palestinian it’s worth a special report on the BBC. When Israel — FINALLY! — retaliates after getting smacked upside the head by missile after missile, it’s splashed across CNN.com. Zionists control the media, my ass.
Meanwhile, families are ripped from their homes in Ashdod, fleeing under heavy rainfall to shelters, knowing that the whoop whoop whoop of the missile siren will terrorize their children for years. And no one outside of Israel is talking about it.
Meanwhile, schools are closed all over the South because no one wants their kids to come home in a body bag. And no one outside of Israel is talking about it.
