| 83. The media doesn't hate Israel. |
|
The media and world public opinion focuses on whoever is suffering most. When America was hit on 9/11 the vast majority of world opinion was sympathy for Americans. But after "shock and awe" and the killing and torture of tens of thousands of Iraqis that sympathy has vanished and replaced with disgust.
Although Israel has more legitimacy to go after Hezbollah that doesn't excuse collective punishment in the court of world opinion.
