Last Thursday, completely ignored by the world�s media, Hamas thugs opened fire on a peace demonstration, killing two people.

Imagine the sustained outrage that would pour out of the media if Israel had done something like this. But Hamas murders peaceful demonstrators, and it doesn�t even rate a footnote in the wire service reports.

If it got ignored, how did you learn of it then?

Or do you mean that it didn't get on the American news?

Oh yeah, sure, the world media is biased. I understand.

they only scream about such things as Israelis running over Americans with their tanks and such.....and not even being jailed. Oh yeah. Terrible media. Bad, bad. They only write about the thousands of Palestinians killed and not the few Israelis - bad media...bad bad....

Bad media.

Hamas didn't do it. Those thugs were actually undercover Mossad agents.









Just thought I'd steal the thunder of certain posters on this board.

Uh, it was sarcasm mate. But I wouldn't put it past one the conspiracy theory nutjobs to make such a claim after posting a link to the Al-Jazeer website.

NPR covered it.

I remember going to a peace workshop. The speaker said
that non-violent protest works because violent people and the
military don't know how to deal with it.

When we broke up into discussion groups I said, "Yes they do.
They shoot the protesters." Nobody had an answer for that one.

First of all, how much bad press does Hamas need? The media is being rather pro-PA or Mahmoud Abbas and anti-Hamas. The Arab, American, and Israeli and European media are anti-Hamas. What is the bias you're talking about? You are making it seem like someone is trying to cover up for Hamas.
