The Tel Aviv bombing on Monday received intensive,Virtually all of these Israeli government, military and settler crimes

pictures of pieces of human flesh shredded by

went unreported. BBC viewers were told that Israel would 'retaliate' for
the Tel Aviv bombing: we are seeing more of the collective reprisals,
themselves war crimes, that Palestinians are used to. The Islamic
Jihad bomber was not shown as 'retaliating' for any of the thousands of
shells Israel has fired into Gaza in recent days; killing children.
Viewers are left with the impression of a motiveless, irrational
violence, probably caused by hatred of Jews.
Is killing people with high explosives a crime only when the perpetrator
doesn't survive? If they go home for a cup of tea afterward and watch TV
with their own children, does that make child-murder any less of a crime?
Tony Blair and the BBC certainly think so.
The list that is linked to above is amazing in the absolute horror it evokes.
Think about living with this kind of mayhem, day in, day out.
