Early Sunday morning, five Katyusha rockets were fired from south Lebanon, two of which landed in northern Israel near the town of Kiryat Shmona. Israel launched some 20 artillery shells at the source of the rocket fire – a firm yet limited response. So how then did Israel’s limited retaliation morph into these headlines?
This from the Irish Times:
And from the Los Angeles Times:
With headlines like these, is it any wonder that Israel, even when it is exercising its legitimate right to self-defense, is regularly portrayed as an aggressor employing “disproportionate” force?

The LA Times is trash. They always make Israel the aggressor and the escalator, for no other reason than to raise the ire of their readership so that they leave mean and nasty, hate filled rhetoric in the comments section. Click bait, as they say, meaning quite simply that the Times makes money by exaggerating about Israel. They have not one shred of decency.
…anyone will find anyway to beat-up on Jews ans Israel anytime all the time…don’t expect fairness.especially from the Brits and their relatives.
It should be disproportionate. That’s how wars are won and lost as the allies found in WWII and we found in the Falklands etc etc
Alas, the truth may not make good fodder for biased headline writers. We live in Los Angeles and cancelled our subscription to the LA Times some time ago. The editorial pages just got too nauseating and distorted. When the Times offered a 52-week special for the Sunday paper at $1 per, we took it. We trash everything but the entertainment and sports sections. When the year is up. We’ll cancel again, until the next special deal.
antisemite marxists run the media.
