Breaking News: Gaza Missile Hits Israeli Bus, 2 Injured
April 7, 2011 15:45 by Pesach Benson
An anti-tank missile hit an Israeli bus outside Kibbutz Saad in the Shaar HaNegev area, critically injuring a teenage boy and the driver.
Residents are being instructed to remain in shelters as additional mortars were fired.
Let’s see how many papers cover this attack. I bet the MSM will give more emphasis to the Israeli response.
Post a comment on how this is covered in your area.
UPDATE 6:25 pm: It didn’t take long for BBC to revert to form:
The Beeb’s inverted background info is even worse. Israeli security measures are stated as fact, while “bouts of terror and rocket attacks” are attributed to something “Israel said.”
Last month saw some of the worst violence since Israel launched Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in December 2008.
In one week in March, at least 10 Palestinians – including several civilians and children – were killed by Israeli attacks.
In the same period, militants in Gaza fired more than 80 rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel.
Hamas had pledged to try to restore a ceasefire that ended on 16 March when an Israeli air strike killed two of its militants in the Palestinian territory.
However, Israel said it had suffered “bouts of terror and rocket attacks”.
See HR’s latest media critique on the Goldstone Report, which covered Israel’s efforts to defend its citizens against Palestinian rocket attacks.

To Nursecrd:
You preface some of your remarks with “IF Syria or Iran get involved.”
Please understand: THEY ARE INVOLVED. Deeply!
Today’s massive Hamas barrage was ordered by Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad in Lebanon. The former is under absolute Syrian control; the latter is simply the cover name for Iran’s “Revolutionary Guard” stationed in Lebanon.
Intelligence sources in all countries are fully aware of these “hijabs” or “jilbaabs” which these two terror groups wear to cover their true identities.
Despite this, when Israel finally awakens and tries to stop the attacks on its civilian populations, our amateur president will invoke his “protection doctrine” and send the military to protect “innocent Arab-muslim civilians” who are being used as human shields by the terror groups — just as in Libya. It is coming.
You read it here first.

Yes, these two countries are involved but if their involvement becomes more open, then you are correct, it is a whole other ballgame.
In Gaza, there are no innocent civilians. Everyone has been poisoned by the hate of Hamas and their teachings and since most are willing pawns of Hamas, then it is time that Israel see them for what they are and preemptively get rid of them by any means possible.
As the amateur idiot in the White House, I hope he gets his in 2012. We have enough liars and backstabbers in Congress, we do not need one in the White House.
If O’butthead sends U.S. troops to protect people in Gaza, then G-D help the U.S. troops.

I agree that Israel will never get a fair shake. They’ve got to be twice as moral to be judged half as moral as every other nation. Sadly, most of these judgmental nations don’t realize that, as far as world jihad is concerned, Israel is the canary in the coal mine. If they realized that, they might cut Israel more slack.
Elio, while it is obvious that Iran and Syria are (sneakily) involved, it remains to be seen if they will openly send troops against Israel. If they do that and get Tehran and Damascus reduced to rubble, their regimes will suffer repercussions, and their leadership knows that. I don’t see Obama ever sending troops to help the Arabs against Israel. The American military admires Israel, for the most part. I don’t even think there’s a good chance of American troops engaging in any peacekeeping operation, alongside UN troops. We’re too engaged elsewhere.
Obama should start efforts to eliminate the madrassas in Pakistan, if he wants to promote peace in the world. By the way, did I ever tell you my fantasy about Israel dropping a fuel air bomb on a meeting of all the ruling Iranian mullahs and Ahmadinejad?

You can complain forever about the slanted news reporting Israel gets and that will continue, but when have you and th e hasbara office in Israel along with the many zionist organizations and created impacting media- TV,Radio, outdoor billboards, ads on buses and transit stations. These are areas the hate Israel proponents are covering and we are not. You cant change those who desire to hate, but you can sure teach the american public who knows little about Israel to educate them creatively about all of Israels accomplishments. As yet nothing is done and american remain ignorant.

First, anyone who would not vote for Obama because of his insistence on Israel attempting to make peace with her neighboring states is putting their necks on a chopping block because the result would be a Republican take over of the United States and the elimination of the rest of the Middle Class.
Jew Hate is the oldest hate in the world. Benjamin Franklin said, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” There is NOTHING that we can do to change the world’s mind about us. In Haiti Israel opened the first full hospital. That ought to have gotten us good press, yes? Instead we were lambasted by idiots who said we were there to steal organs. No matter what we do, we are going to be responsible. WHY? Because we do not kill those who disagree with us as do the Arabs.
The “press” can’t really tell the truth for being assured that they will be murdered in cold blood. I am not saying that is what we should do, heaven forbid, but when reporters lie about us, they ought to lose their right to exist in Israel, carefully documenting wha tthey said that got them expelled from the country.
The reason for all of this is because we won’t let the world do what it wants: Revert to paganism.

Most of what you say is accurate. I remember once hearing Peter Jennings, the former ABC anchorman and a former Mideastern correspondent saying that when he was reporting he could say anything about Israel because it had press freedom, but if he said anything negative about the Arabs it would, at the least, result in losing his ability to report and, at worst, put his life in jeopardy. Other reporters have stated that their editor in the U.S. do not want to hear any pro-Israel or even balance stories because they have decided to play the Israeli-Palestinian story as a good guy – bad guy conflict and have chosen Israel as the bad guy and will run all their stories to reflect that viewpoint.
While you’re correct that we will never change anyone with a true anti-Jewish bias, there are still many Americans who do not have that bias but are either uninformed or misinformed. Our efforts need to be geared and directed toward those people. You would be amazed how receptive many Americans, especially those in the Midwest, are toward pro-Israel information. When the Republican candidates (other than Ron Paul) all made their strong pro-Israel statements, they were not just appealing to the Jewish voters, they were also appealing to the many more pro-Israel Christians. We need to remember that and keep giving them the positive messages about Israel which will keep them on our side lest they start believing all the anti-Israel propaganda which can weaken their support.
