Looking at their pictures left me grieving as if I had lost a family member . I'm hoping that some good came out of it because even CNN briefly returned to the barbarity of Hamas. Nevertheless I remain astonished by the media who never miss a chance to attack Israel and the United States. Since Viet Nam all military action by us has been seen as villainous. So it is not a surprising that Israel, with the addition of anti-Semitism, has been scorched by the Western coverage. The death of Palestinian civilians is tragic. But not more so than the million Muslim who lost their lives in the Iran-Iraq war. And then they used poisonous gas. Somehow white people killing brown people brings forth an outrage that we cannot ignore. The daily reporting of Arab casualties and the demand for a ceasefire is a distorted point of view. Of course civilian deaths is a horror. Who can be against ending their suffering. But 350,00 to 2 million German civilians were killed in the defeat of Germany. If the dead German civilians, led to a cease fire before the Germans capitulated, it would have left Hitler in power. It never occurred to us to consider stopping because there wasn't the same kind of war coverage, day after day reporting not on the progress of the war but on innocent civilians dying. Back then our media presenting this perspective would have been considered an attack on America's defense efforts. We were rightfully frightened by Hitler, and while the tragedy of innocents losing their lives is never irrelevant, focusing on it would have turned us into villains and ended our ability to go after Germany.
Israel must eliminate Hamas. Hamas has been calling for its extermination for decades and regularly sending missiles and rockets. Would America allow even one missile to attack us and ignore it. After Hamas invaded Israel and slaughtered its citizens they bragged there would be many more October 7s. Israel is 38 miles wide. America had 2 oceans to insulate us yet we properly felt frightened enough to unleash whatever damage we could at Germany. Our media understood this then and stood behind our military. Making Israel a villain by again and again focusing on Palestinian dead women and children is only possible because we have forgotten what it is like to feel unsafe. I have written an article in the May Commentary along these lines which develops these points further
