It's not that they all want to do it...and same w/ politicians. Some may not be aware they are doing it. But it's political suiced to oppose Israel in ANY fashion...and pretty much the same goes for media. The Israel lobby is VERY powerful. They have people watching the media like hawks and have organized efforts to attack any outlet that is at all critical of Israel. So it's simply easiest to not criticize Israel. Besides more AMericans could care less what happens to a bunch of 3 world people on the other side of the planet anyway.

As for Politicians...if you run for say congress someone from the lobby will visit you and see if you will be a friend or foe of Israel. If they think you will be against them in ANY way not only will you not get their support, but your opponent will get it. So again, most just go along w/ it...because who cares about Muslims on the other side of the planet.

It's not a conspiriacy...the lobby is ran the same way other lobbies are, it's just that this lobby is so well ran and powerful that it has a great influence. THere is a great book on this subject by 2 professors called "THe Israel Lobby". VERY GOOD book. and like I said earlier...the religius right is a big part of the lobby.

Just google "hamas breaks truce" and you'll find about a hundred examples. Of course you can tie those instances to Israeli activity, which can in turn be tied to Arab activity. It's a never-ending mishmash of retaliation.

And the search engines will point you to the same sources that incorrectly translated Ahmadinejad's worsd on Israel.

If you say it long enough while censoring opposing POV, most will believe it to be true.

Jus like religion.

Start with CNN, then include the rest.

Hell, Haaratz is way more critical if Israeli policy than any mainstream US media source.

So the BBC is not to be trusted? CNN? ABC? FOX? CBS? It's pretty easy to find articles from about two dozen sources citing Hamas breaking truces. Same goes for Israel breaking truces.

Do you have any links from any of their sites that show Hamas breaking a truce? Do you want to have a legit discussion on this or not?

No, let's have him provide a link to a CNN or any of those listed, article on it. We can then chekc it out and see what happened.

How does CNN and "the rest" censor our news to favor Israel? And what is their motivation for doing this?

I am trying to have a legit discussion on this, but when you can't take your conversation partner's point as fact without links and articles that you can find on your own via simple search, which I did for you no less, it's pretty pointless. There's nothing to be gained in having a conversation with you if you ONLY adhere to the stance that Israel is bad and their Arab counterparts are good.

What would it matter if I posted a link to a BBC article about Hamas breaking a truce? Is it not a fact prior to the posting of that link? Insistence on this makes no logical sense.

Serious question... do you believe that these search engines censor our certain sources?

I have no proof they do or do not. I know it is possible. Do you believe that google is steering us away from information on how bad Israel is?

"when you can't take your conversation partner's point as fact without links and articles"

It's weird to me that we are expected to believe whatever fact you throw out. It's not like I'm asking you to provide links over and over in the thread. I asked you to back up one claim you made. I then even looked at the 1st two nonjewish links in your google search and the go against what you claimed. It's basically a wild goose chase that you've made and it just relects on the substance of your claim.
