We should all be troubled about emerging bias of the media and civil rights organizations against Israel. It seems that you can get away with absolutely any lie with impunity. Just look at the recent scandal with AP, when they had to remove about 900 of their Lebanon photos. UN also is constantly preoccupied with the Israeli abuses, while ignoring thousands being butchered in Darfur. I hope HWR would start concetrating on real human rights abuses commited by tyrannical Arab regimes. Even Lebanon's fledgling democracy is not threatened by Isarel but by their own home-grown radical islamists. They are the graetest violators of human rights. Perhaps if HWR workers would be abl to report on the WWII they would definitely blame the US and its allies for the war-crimes without worrying too much about the Nazis and the Japanese. HWR, get real and deal with the real problems.
