The real issue I see here is how easy it is to manipule media and so change people beliefs and opinions in any way you want. No one is free of it cause we all watch tv, read newspapers and so on.
Question is can anyone trust any information they are getting nowadays?
No way! I never hear quantities expressed in terms of barrels. The news always uses gallons, dude. They use gallons because the quantity is higher than barrels. makes it sound much worse than it is. Which I dn't understand because there is no reason to make it sound worse. It's already a lot worse than any of use realize at this pont. Wait until the oil stuck in the sand and sitting at the bottom of the ocean floor gets counted. So bad for the environment and the people living there. They are going to be dealing with this for so long.
As for the "refugees". Israel successfully absorbed tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who were forced out of their homes and hadf to leave their belongings in Arab countries. Therefore, justice and logic demand that the Palestinian refugee problem be solved outside Israel's borders.
Steve Horn's piece on the Gaza Flotilla debacle is very alarming given that it contains so many factual errors.
It fails to acknowledge any link between IHH (the Freedom Flotilla) and islamic terrorist organisations - as established by independently by Turkey and the EU.
It shows a very naive and false understanding of international law.
It says IDF descendied on the ship shooting first. This is not true at all and IDF only fired a shot after they were mobbed, beaten with weapons, pushed off balconies and then eventually shot by activists on the ship.
The article fails to note the significant cache of weaponry found by IDF on the ship or that there is around a hundred indepenednet videos on Youtube showing the peace activists on the ship prior to the boarding, chanting songs about destrying every Jew in the world via martyrdom.
On camera when asked how he felt as they neared Gaza, one fo the activist leaders says ity is a very happy day because they will either get to Gaza or die as Martyrs.
The article fails to note the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of aid that Israel sends into Gaza each week.
If PR Watch is not an anti-zioinst and antisemitic media outlet, it should acknowledge these points in its coverage.
I honestly didn't know about the oil spills in Nigeria. Of course, I am sure most people don't.
"Shell blames the constant spills on attacks from "rebels".
Of course they do, why would any oil company take the blame for what they are doing?
