Why do we never see palistinians being killed by Israelis

[rainy]

but, always see Israelis being killed? It is horrible what each side is doing to each other but we only see one side on the news.

1. I know you mean that as a rhetorical question because

it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

2. There aren't as many reporters living in the occupied territories

It's that simple.

3. This thread will be locked....

I can almost guarantee it... :eyes:

Good question though.

4. Palestinians are not killed by Israelis

They reportedly die as a result of routine military operations in refugee camps during periods of calm.

5. Because we sell the Israelis the stuff they kill Palestinians with...

Hmmm...didn't we just sell them a bunch of F-16s?

6. Well, watch some European TV.

But please remember, when a suicide bomber blows up a bus, the INTENTION is to achieve maximum publicity.

You do them no favors if you wish for less coverage.

As to all those Palestinians being murdered daily by the mighty Israeli army.....how many would that be, exactly?

Think it might stop if they stopped blowing up busses?

Or is the real story that you want to pretend that the Palestinians are sweet innocent victims and no busses were harmed in the making of their story? Is that what this coverage complaint is about?

8. The complaint is about the fact that most suicide bombs are in

response to Israeli violence. Palistinians are made second class citizens in the land they once owned but is now occupied by Israel.

9. Why are we not getting the full story from watching the new?

That's what this question is about.

If the news is lopsided in showing one group's casualties over another - then is ceases to become news and becomes propaganda.
