Selective Reporting from Lebanon and Palestine

The public is presented with images and stories of Arab violence and aggression.

[Curious Me]

1.* "On 19 December, 18 Israeli soldiers crossed into Lebanese territory and abducted two middle-aged men"

"They were released the next day around 3am."

······
2*. "eight Katyusha rockets "aimed at Israel"

"What we have here is more clear evidence that the Western media ignores direct attacks on Arab peoples while amplifying and exaggerating the threat of "terrorism" against Israel."

······
3*. Hopefully, more critical readers will ask themselves why the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldiers was immediately news of global significance, but the 2008 kidnapping of Lebanese civilians has been greeted with a deafening silence.

······

EXCUSE ME...EXCUSE ME!

Please forgive my 'ignorance', as I am not yet familiar with this form of 'logic'.

Will someone PLEASE help me with this interesting bit of ARAB mathematics, because, so far, things, as the "Palestine Chronicle" has presented them, do not seem to 'add up'.

*1. The Palestinian men
(whom you have neglected to prove were without possible cause of suspician).

were released at 3AM, the next day.

*2. This 'interesting' math, of yours, seems to be attempting to 'establish' that,

somehow,

EIGHT katyusha rockets, anyone of which were aimed with the express purpose of MURDERING men, women, and children, without specific targeting,

is a deed that is comparable to the TARGETED abduction of possible war criminals!!!!????

Not just terrorists, but animals who DELIGHT in the killing and mutilation of innoccent women and children!

3*.Again, the Palestinian men
(whom you have neglected to prove were without possible cause of suspician).

were released at 3AM, the next day.

Of the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldiers,

how soon were they released, or were they?

······

This new Arab math sounds a lot more like just another bunch of Arab ABSURDITIES.

I have a personal beef with the news stations and I want you all to do some work for me and my MS-13 gang family and friends here in Langley Park, Maryland. We plan to state a protest and riot to boycot the news stations for mentioning negatives things about us MS-13 gang members here in Langley Park and we plan to go into the courthouses at night to attack and rob the maintenence ladies in the ladies bathrooms to make our point because we are treated badly. We tried to get Casa De Maryland to make them respect us but they treated them badly so we plan to commit crimes on the streets and attack the law enforcement too. We would like you to come to america to help us riot and to commit crimes on the streets and get away with them because we are angry with the american news stations and the american law enforcement and want revenge. We plan to make trouble and we will need the help of Al-Quaida to attack and rob these crappy americans too. Will you help us? We would appreciate it. Thank you!

Looking it over, it seems that "Palestine Chronicle" is just another propaganda front. I wonder who vets these news sources for inclusion in these Topix forums?

THAT is indeed a very good point.

If Topix really wants to be considered a legitimate NEWS MEDIUM, their doing a really CRAPPY job of showing it.
