A different war
I catch a few glimpses of US TV coverage of the war and it does not look like the war that I am watching live on Arabic TV stations. The US media are covering a different war where a mighty and terrorist Middle East army, called Hamas, is attacking a defenseless little entity called Israel. And the Israeli population is helplessly suffering from Palestinian attacks on them. And the Israeli army is merely attacking terrorists in Gaza: and Gaza is presented as a large military base where only Hamas terrorists reside.
