You present that cut and paste as if you believe "only" 20 Israelis have died?

I am sure the United Nations Third World Reichstag will impose a resolution upon the Jewish State, and instead, they enjoy the Idea of the Arab Moslem states to kill off Jews now day, Palestinian‘s , this is a good propaganda starting point.

Remember our very own K9 Rudd Has sent 60 odd million dollars of Tax payer’s money to help fund this little Jewish genocide;
OOOO yes Prove to the Australian Tax payer; none of this; “AID” money was actually spent on rearming the Socialist / Moslem terrorist offensive?
It certainly did not do much for the Education, or provide any economical benefit out side of Russia or Iran.
And a few others Bank Ballance.
I suppose K9 Rudd is directly involved in funding terrorism ?

And us , as The Tax payers are implicated.

This is complementary info about

*the study of the media manipulation to decrease the deaths of Palestinians and increase the Israeli figures
*and how the Israeli PR works in USA

The first one is around half an hour. I suggest you view this first

And this is a 4-5 minute trailer (of not the one above) of another clip. I suggest you view this after watching the background clip above)

"You can go to jail in Australia for giving money to Hamas, he writes, but it’s not an offence to give money to Israeli causes. He calls this stance hypocritical."

Absolutely hypocritical, after all most of the land of Palestine was Palestinian before 1948, it then got invaded - a Jewish book called the Bible's Old T claims some God gave it to them - and the natives whacked, thrown into refugee camps ... and for resisting they still get labelled terrorists.

I find it hardly surprising that after 60 years of abuse, and ever smaller pockets of Palestinian land in the Gaza/ West Bank due to ever more settlements and other land grabs - w/o mentioning the rest of the mandate of Palestine for a moment, that it is legal in Australia to support the occupier, but not the oppressed.

Something is seriously wrong alright, and it is not just in Palestine.

Zionism is Hamas, only difference is Zionism so far has had better backing, better strategies and better tactics. One day they will pay for outrages committed in the lead up to 1948, and since then ...

Hanna,
I watched the first of your videos. Fantastic. I have never trusted the media for the last few years. Especially when it comes to such things as the Israeli situation. I knew someone a few years ago whose mother was Polish and spent time in a concentration camp. She stated that within the camp the jews did many terrible things including only giving out medications to fellow jews and thus allowing non-jews to die. She said to others never to trust a jew. I found this most interesting as it came from someone who was actually there, not some biased book written by a Jew, with a pro-jewish slant.
Anyway it would be nice if we could somehow hold the media by law to report in a fair and unbiased manner.
It seems that the Israeli's are not allowing foreign journalists in, so they can just kill whoever they want. Judging from the video it seems the jews are mainly up against a few kids with sticks and rocks and others with home made rockets.
I hope the death toll evens up a bit, although I am almost certain it will not.
One last point which I think has already been mentioned, that is to check who the author is before reading the article.

Meredith, Bren Carlill's point is that the media is biased against Israel. He says that for "eight years Israeli cities were brutalised by Hamas rockets" but that the media ignored the issue. This is patently untrue, surely I'm not the only one who has seen endless media reports on rocket damage in Israel?

Carlill then argues that the media "took notice only when Israel responded", that "simple logic" supports the Israeli attacks and that anyone who disagrees with Israel's actions is guilty of "hypocritical fallacy".

I found it curious that Carlill didn't actually quantify the number of Israelis killed by Hamas rockets, so I went looking for the actual number (having a vague recollection that it was about 40) and stumbled on an actual list. And yes, I'm guilty as charged, of "cut and paste". But where is the list of Palestinian dead?

My point was that the extensive coverage of Israel's dead gives the lie to Carlill's shrill accusations of hypocrisy and bias. If this is really the best that the AIJAC can do to defend Israel's actions, then Israel has a serious PR problem. A problem that has nothing to do with media bias.
