Response to Daily’s Offensive Cartoon 1-16-09

January 2009, Response to
Daily’s offensive cartoon
Your
January 14 cartoon is a classic example of media bias. Contrary to Sentinel’s
depiction of the conflict, are the searing images (see BBC and YouTube) of
murdered children juxtaposed with their dismembered parents in boxes
accompanied by the wailing sounds of grief stricken residents in the world’s
largest man-made concentration camp. This is a testimony of Israel’s war of
terror.
It
speaks volumes of our own media bias that these images are hidden from the US
public. Israel and we, as suppliers of these weapons of mass killing, have
violated all norms of civilized conduct. The terror raining down on Gaza has
little to do with Hamas and everything to do with Israel’s messianic zeal
for territorial gain. It is telling that we in the US never hear a counter
argument to “Israel has a right to exist.” Do not the indigenous people who
were driven off their land have a right to exist?
