Who are the victims

"What we have here is more clear evidence that the Western media ignores direct attacks on Arab peoples while amplifying and exaggerating the threat of "terrorism" against Israel. Legitimate criticism of Israeli policy is suppressed through journalistic crimes of omission and commission. The public is presented with images and stories of Arab violence and aggression while the notion of Israeli restraint and victimhood is piously maintained. Israeli actions are thus "responses" and never belligerence."
