Two Serious Issues That I Don't Think We Adequately Appreciate the Horror Of

Last week, Hamas declared the end of their year and half long ceasefire with Israel because of a the killing of Mohammed al Dura, on the beach in Gaza, said to be blown to bits by an Israeli rocket. An innocent family was also killed.

Well, now it turns out, after an investigation, that it was not Israel at all, but rather an accident - possibly by mines laid by Hamas to prevent an Israeli commando invasion.

Why is this significant? Well, for one, instead of admitting the mistake, Hamas and the PA are refusing to allow anyone but themselves to investigate the issue. Second, they are purposefully lying in order to stir up anger towards Israel both within the Palestinian community and the rest of the world. Three, they same groups have perpetrated the exact same scheme before, in the "Jenin" massacre, which wasn't a massacre at all.

Do we even fathom how wrong this is? It's an upside down, 1984 vision of the world. The Nazis did stuff like this. How dare we sit back and give credence or validity to any suggestion that the Palestinians have a right to land, or much less the right of return, when their political structures are based upon lie after lie...it is truly a horrific state of affairs, for the entire world, but mostly, for the Palestinians themselves.

The second issue is almost even scarier - the idea of the symbiotic relationship between the Media and Terrorism.

Turns out Zarqawi had as part of his strategy, "To use the media for spreading an effective and creative image of the resistance."

I watched the news after terror attacks. News organizations make money when terrorists blow things up. CNN was the distributor for the real life reality TV show of 9/11. From an economic standpoint, the news media and terrorists are complete bedfellows. This is a topic worth thinking about...
