Solace of the Shadows

The best news interview i've seen on any news station ever.

"The problem is you don't give a damn, you don't know about the Palestinian families. You don't even know that they exist...You don't even know their names, but you know the name of every Israeli soldier who has been taken in this conflict, because you believe, whether you know it or not, that Israeli blood is more valuable than the blood of Lebanese, or Palestinians. That's the truth, and the discerning of your viewers, already know it."

The frustration has come to a point where each time I turn on the television, only to be fed more and more images of the war between Israel and Lebanon, I am utterly disgusted with what I see. One may ask, why should you be so affected by this? I don't think I could fully express myself well enough to answer that. But I believe this issue extends beyond that of religion, it includes the fundamental principle of truth and what is right.
I am not Lebanese, yet when I see all that is happening, I feel suffocated and helpless. I cannot even begin to concieve how those living in the Middle East must feel, being portrayed as extremists and terrorists so casually and unjustly by the rest of the world. And people wonder why they would end their lives as suicide bombers? They do so out of sheer desperation, because there is simply no other way to end their oppression.
Why is it when Israel invades Lebanon, it is simply deemed a calculated military defensive action. But when Hizbollah decides to counter-attack, suddenly a terrorist nation is destroying the sanctity of world peace? Since when have Lebanon done anything remotely terrorist related?
So at the end of this conflict, if Lebanon decides to return the 2 Israeli soldiers, how will Israel repay the 600 Lebanese (and 4 UN officials) killed innocently by their terrorist army?
Still the world's news media, insidiously controlled by major conglomerates owned by powerful jews, continue to cloud the world's population with lies on the television, radio and in the newspapers. The Israelies are continually depicted as the victims, and yet they continue to live in opulence while the Gaza strip and West Bank remain barren wastelands, Palestinians forced to live amongst the rubble. That is the problem with news, people rely too freely and thus believe too freely in what they see and hear on the news. Because it is NEWS, it is the truth. To believe that would be to be foolish. We can't go to the country itself, so we will never understand the situation there. But it doesn't mean we should be taken in by what we see.
For those who still don't know, Israel is a nation which was only created in the year 1947 by the United Nations who forcefully expelled native Palestinians living in that area from their homeland to make way for an influx of Jews from all over the world. Before 1947, Israel was a country which never existed on the globe. Imagine Singaporeans being kicked out of their homeland because Malaysians believe the land is rightfully theirs and decided to reclaim it for themselves. Ok bad analogy, but that's pretty much how it was.
We have to open our eyes to the truth.
