What's great about it? That it contains so many factual errors and omissions?
The mainstream US media covers 80% of the incidents in which there are Israeli deaths, but less than 20% of those in which there are only Arab casualties. Unbalanced reporting, yes, but not slanted in the direction the poster suggests.
That the admirably restrained actions NCDTV describes on the part of the Israelis still somehow result in approximately 3 times as many Palestinian deaths.
That he doesn't know his history? The Balfour Declaration of 1917, proposing that a Jewish Homeland be established in Palestine, was the start of large-scale Jewish immigration and also the start of constant terrorist activity by BOTH sides. That went on for 30 years before the United Nations finally decided to split Palestine in two, making a state for the Jews and a state for the Palestinians.
The UN solution was swept aside when Israel independently declared the State of Israel. In the brief war that followed, 50% of the Palestinian population was either killed, driven out, or fled, leaving Israel in control of 80% of Palestine. The promised Palestinian State was never established.
Israel was my home for 10 years. I married an Israeli. I used to write regularly for several of the national daily newspapers. In Israel itself you would never, ever, read such a biased and uninformed piece of writing.
