Snippet:
One thing is certain. As with previous assaults by Israel on Gaza, there
is no proportionality in either the firepower of the two sides, nor its
devastating consequences. So far, over 100 Palestinians have died,
mostly civilians, including women and children, but not one Israeli.
Diane Sawyer of ABC news committed a gaffe in reporting on the conflict,
showing a displaced family among the rubble of what was their home,
referring to it as an Israeli family. But it was actually a Palestinian
family in Gaza. No Israeli homes have been destroyed. Brian Williams of
NBC news, on the other hand, accurately reported on the "lopsided"
nature of the attacks. He noted most of the rockets fired from Gaza into
Israel are shot down by a largely U.S. taxpayer funded Iron Dome which
intercepts incoming missiles. But Israel's bombs are the most
sophisticated money can buy and Gaza has no defense against them.
