Why Israel Is Losing the American Media War
In this conflict, we are seeing the Palestinians less as terrorists and more as they see themselves — as ordinary people living in often impossible circumstances.

All the american media wants is sensational news stories that will sell- #hamas knows this and is exploiting it

Exactly. #media #hamas https://twitter.com/...

This goes back to the same rhetoric of the media war- focusing on what is going on in Gaza and forgetting everything else. #Syria http://www.theatlant...
Obsessing About Gaza, Ignoring Syria (And Most Everything Else)
Trying to understand why Syrian deaths no longer seem to matter.

I think this Administration and by extension the media has always been anti-Israel. Why they are against our only ally in the Middle East is beyond me...
Kelsey Mulcahy
@Matt_Manni While Obama is widely considered the least pro-Israel president, I don't believe that's connected to the media. Media (both American and world-wide) is driven by sensationalism, which #hamas is eagerly exploiting in this case.
Matt Manning
True. "Despite the lack of accurate information the media has been reporting unconfirmed casualty figures without mentioning the context in which Palestinians civilians have been killed, often while being forced to act as human shields"
Matt Manning
While its hard to justify war and death, I think Israel needs to continue to put its foot down with Hamas. Thoughts?

While I would love a humanitarian cease-fire, the last one granted by Israel was broken by hamas firing rockets within an hour...so I don't blame Israel for not granting it

Humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza collapses | News | DW.DE | 20.07.2014
Israel says it has resumed combat operations after a two-hour humanitarian cease-fire in a Gaza City neighborhood was broken by Hamas. Since July 8, the conflict has killed more than 400 Palestinians and seven Israelis.
Matt Manning
"Hamas...has reportedly told people throughout the territory to ignore Israeli warnings and stay in their homes." Hamas trying to play victim in the media. To think that they are really the instigators in this conflict is just sad
Matt Manning
And willing to use their own citizens deaths/injuries to pull off a political stunt is so messed up
Kelsey Mulcahy
@kelsey_mulcahy yeah it goes back to the media war that hamas is winning- so sad
Tami Mulcahy
Hamas sacrificing their own people…evil or desperation? Driven to evil or just evil? It’s all sickening and please let it stop. Israel has a right to defend itself. The people of Gaza have a right to living a human life. @Matt_Manni

Well said. The world can certainly be a crazy place

Israel is not backing down despite widespread international criticism. They hit Gaza's only power plant, a mosque, and the home of a Hamas political leader.

It's certainly not a new debate, but the controversial topic has picked up steam again- especially in Germany: Where does political criticism of Israel end, and where does anti-Semitism begin?" http://www.dw.de/cri...

It's amazing how much persecution the Jews have received throughout history. All because they have different views on religion.

Six Reasons Why Americans Should Care About The War Between Hamas and Israel
Hamas and al-Qaeda are of the same ilk. Brothers in arms, both Islamist terrorist groups are funded by Iran and theologically motivated to wage a violent jihad, or holy war, against the West.

Palestinians killed: more kids (129) than militants (86). 4.7x as many civilians as militants. http://t.co/1p4dsslN... http://t.co/NeJahDfi...

so sad, my hearts to all the civilians and innocent lives taken away from the war

I really hope both sides settle on a cease fire soon. Life in Israel is chaos with sirens going off twice a day. What needs to be done before both sides decide on peace?
