What nonsense are they talking. The only coverage that i have seen on the TV is that defending the Palestinians. The media group that has shown some form of fairness in the whole time the fighting was going on was Al Jazeera. Everyone else condemned Israel for what they are doing and yes granted it is not a nice picture, however all you have to do is to look at history and you will see how this whole thing started. None of the Arab countries are interested in taking in the people from Gaza. If you look at the Palestinians that are living in Israel, not only have they been fully integrated into Israel, they can vote like any other Israeli, something that is not possible in any of the Arab countries.
Now before everyone comes down on me for the above, I'm not Jewish, however I know unfairness when I see it. If the media would actually go do some homework and not just jump on the hype bandwagon, we will get much better unbiased news coverage. Half the problem regarding the recent economic meltdown in the world is due to the media, once again jumping onto something and making it even worse instead of trying to keep a balance.
Anyways, there is nothing we can do about the past – what’s done is done and we must just try and learn from our mistakes - something the human race really have a hard time achieving.

I think the article was mainly in reference to American media.
@Burny1: What do you mean fully integrated? So being sent to live in a designated area = fully integrated. Nice. So during apartheid everyone was fully integrated.
Maybe we will never know the real truth about the conflict. I think at this point its too late to trim any bias. What do also know is that there are things going on in this conflict we don't even know about, stuff no mainstream media covers.

Ghazi - i think you are making a mistake trying to compare the ghaza conflict with apartheid. As far as i know there was no integration of our black / coloured and indian brothers and sisters into previously white society - that was the whole point of apartheid. Having said that, you are absolutely right that there are more going on than what we know and being told by the media. The point i was trying to make was that this specific youtube clip was talking utter nonsense and the reason i can say that with reasonable certainty is that i just can from the states having spent 2 weeks there and having spoken to some of my friends and what they are saying in the clip is not true, unless they are referring to media coverage somewhere in the deep south. In New York, Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati and even a small town called New Bremen, we heard the exact opposite as to what they where saying in the clip.
Anyways like i said before nothing we can do about it - we can only try and learn from it and not repeat it.

Yeah so biased they used an avowed communist for a perspective of what's happening inside Gaza 
Xarogs idea of DNN's Israeli bias is giving repeated interviews on whats happening in Gaza with a marxist Norwegian doctor who supported the 9/11 terror attacks claiming they were justified.
I might also add he appeared on BBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, The Independent, Sky News, and the New York Times. None of whom felt the need to inform their viewers of his clear bias.
