The reporting of this conflict has been atrocious.
During World War 2 the British moved their children out of London to keep them safe. Similiarly, Israel has moved its children out of harms way for the current conflict. By contrast, Hamas deliberately brings children into the line of fire, to use as shields to fire behind, and as propaganda for the media photos and video clips. The UN allows Hamas to fire from within their "safe zones" directly putting children at risk.
All of the reporting of events inside Gaza are provided by the people there. This means that they all have a bias against Israel. The mainstream media has been spoon fed these materials and like good little puppies they obediently report things as given.
For some reason it is OK that Israel has rockets fired upon it but not OK of Israel to respond. Tunnels can be built to supply weapons and materials to make rockets but it is bad to try and bomb these.
It was reported that Israel attacked a UN hospital. It was later found and reported by observers that there was indeed rocket position set up within the UN 'safe haven' and rockets were indeed fired from that position.
No one took the UN to task over this. No one strongly condemns the policy of Hamas to use children as shields but they do complain when children get killed. When rockets from Gaza hit a kindergarten there is little comment from the media. The focus, as always, is on the Pallywood style set shots of the grieving parents and the children laid out for the perfect camera shot.
The Red Cross complain that they cannot get to the injured but you see shots of the Red Crescent attending scenes. News flash the REd Cross is not allowed into Muslim controlled areas, the symbol of the cross is considered insulting hence the creation of the Red Crescent. This is standartd misdirection, easy to research but never mentioned.
