Many Western commentators spend time opining "who started it" as if there were no verifiable facts [AFP]
The New York Times and the BBC
have always been reliable mouthpieces for Israel's line of
justification for bombarding Palestinians, and they have not failed the
Zionist state in this instance. However, their so-called liberal
counterparts have scarcely hit a different tone.
Consider two of the loudest cheerleaders for the DNC and Barak Obama's reelection: MSNBC and Mother Jones magazine. On November 16, former spokesperson for the US State Department, James Rubin, appeared on MSNBC host Alex Wagner's programme. During the chummy discussion, Rubin described Netanyahu as a "sharp character" and placed a "huge chunk" of the blame on Palestinians for why there are currently no "peace negotiations" between Israel and Palestine, while carefully displaying his judicious side by ascribing "some part" of the blame to the Israeli Prime Minister.
