Distorting for Israel

To:--San Francisco Chronicle

Re:-- Pro-Israeli bias and distorted reporting on the Gaza situation.

Typically the Chron & US-UK media distort the facts in Israel's favor.

• Abbas and Arabs didn't call Israel's action a holocaust. Israel's own defense minister did; although they then backpedalled saying "holocaust" only meant "a big mess" -- (which is why ADL and AIPAC fought tooth and nail against recognition of the Armenian "big mess" -- right?);
• The article fudges the fact that Hamas was duly elected and has made three truce offers to Israel (i.e. to stop the missle attacks) all of which have been rejected by Israel;
• The article engages in a revolting sophistry by characterizing the Palestinian attacks as a rain of missiles on Israeli communities. The "missiles" are jumbo firecrackers that fall almost entirely on Sderot, on the other side of the Gaza fence. About 3 or 4 israelis have been killed in four years. Compare daily number of Palestinians killed
• The US (including Nancy Pelosi and our reps) are aiding and abetting Israel's war crimes (as per the UN and the World Court). It's time our craven and criminal support stop.
