I'd Like to Understand

Why is it, when the Israelis kill a bunch of murdering terrorists, the headlines on AP and Reuters and AFP read something like "Israel Shoots Dead Three Palestinian Militants."

But, when the murdering terrorists murder Israelis, the headlines on AP and Reuters and AFP read something more like "Israeli military says Palestinian militant kills 2 Israelis." Apparently, the Israelis are simply not be taken at their word, while the Arabs are.

Oh, and instead of the press admitting a "truce" with Hamas would just be a quiet time to allow Hamas to re-arm with no interference (as has happened before), the press blames Israel for not being open to a truce: "Israel downplays Hamas offer as UN says shortages hurt peace."

In other words, not only is Israel rejecting a truce and possible peace, but Israel is to blame for shortages in the Gaza Strip, because apparently, no matter how badly Jews are bombed, hurt, or killed, they have no right to defend themselves and close the borders between them and enemy territory...

Hey, world and world press. Please check out this Open Letter to the World (or, if you're too stupid or lazy to read it, you can ilsten to it here), and after you've checked it out, please F**K OFF.
