Think about it. How many mainstream U.S. media groups really present a Palestinian as a suffering human being, rather than just a "unit" or some terrorist thug with face covered in Hamas green, holding AK-47 & RPG weapons?
And just how many images, streaming videos or simple pictures, do we see of the other terrorist thugs at work--those noble fellows garbed in Israeli military green, using U.S.-funded automatic weapons and chemical WMD's to deliberately slaughter civilians at will??
Not a whole lot, as it turns out. And there's a very significant reason for that.
Amazing things happen when one party in a conflict has a well-engineered stranglehold over the hearts & minds of the key targeted audience (which the U.S. military-industrial complex tried and failed miserably in Vietnam.) They get away with murder.
Quite literally. War crimes pulled off on a grand scale, in fact.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Does it?
