Re: jerusalem

Well done! You chose a really unbiased site there, Morty.

Remember: there are always two sides to a story.

Re: jerusalem

And you were that quick to jump you didn't bother with my second link... where's your impartiality?
The object of the exercise was lost on you wasn't it.
Both sides are killing each other. Both sides are making victims of each other.

The first story was overloaded on the web with various news outlet. I picked any old one.
The second one I had to ferret about a bit for.


the first link from other sources.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.af453d16a176

From The Jerusalem Post.
Surveillance camera footage shared on Twitter shows a man running at soldiers with a large object.

One soldier then shoots the man, who immediately falls to the ground. Subsequently, a group of soldiers restrain the man, while beating him with their weapons and kicking him.


Happy now?

Re: jerusalem

No, not really.

Again I say, there are two sides to every story. You choose to believe whichever you want. I prefer to keep an open mind.

Re: jerusalem

But you have no trouble believing everything you read that supports Israel?
Even though it is contra to what many Heads of State and the UN have to say?

That's not open-mindedness. You support Israel wholeheartedly and unconditionally. Which of course, you can do.

Re: jerusalem

A little sad humour .

: An Israeli is on vacation and is visiting a zoo in England when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside his cage, right under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The Israeli runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the Israeli brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him profusely.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter says to the Israeli: ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve ever seen a man do in my lifetime.’
The Israeli replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little girl in danger and acted as I felt right.’

The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page. So, what country are you from, what do you do for a living
The Israeli replies, “I’m from Israel I'm in the IDF.
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the Israeli buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
ISRAELI SOLDIER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.”
And that pretty much sums up the media’s approach to Israel

Re: jerusalem

I am appalled to see on another thread expressions like send Jews back to the countries they came from in regard to Israel .
This is anti semitism much as it masquerades as anti Zionism .
As intended it is also ignorant and offensive

Re: jerusalem

Thank you. Very kind of you.

Re: jerusalem

That's taken completely out of context muddy, and you know it.

Re: jerusalem

Hi

I have to say I agree with Morti on this one.

She has a clear rational approach to the subject.

Re: jerusalem

I don't agree
The link given the Jerusalem Post is very biased and pro Palestinian.
I have no doubt there are some brutalities but we all know the Palestinians have great Pallywood production teams in order to garner international sympathy .
