Several weeks ago, the number of U.S. & allied air strikes into Syria passed the 800 mark I believe. Since then there have been countless more of these air strikes into Syria and Iraq as mentioned in the links - thank you once again Mr WNU for all the brilliant work you do and I apologise for hijacking the thread with a rant.

We occasionally hear a comment on the BBC news (and other world press) when a certain ISIS individual is successfully hit. Yet we are shown nothing which is really happening.

Where are:

-images of destroyed buildings?

-the images of injured, crying children?

-the images of weeping & wailing women holding their heads in grief?

-the images of the wounded lying in hospitals?

-the stories of little children suffering?

-the ranting mobs in the streets?

-the protest marches of the misled, media-fed, brainwashed crowds around the world?

During ‘Operation Protective Edge’ in Israel July/August 2014, our T.V. screens, Newspapers and social media around the world were continually full of repeated images of civilian casualties.

If the world really cares about collateral damage during war time, the world press would be clamouring to get our attention, now....

However, it would not look good for America and their allies to be seen causing grief to civilians; so it is withheld from us. (Surprise, surprise hey!)

If you do take the trouble to actually search for information, some details are findable although it's limited I have found...

It is therefore clear that the BBC, and others, ARE completely biased against Israel. (Again, surprise surprise hey!)

Any opportunity to bash Israel through any means is always seized upon whilst everyone else seems to get a free pass. Clear and unbiased information is ignored, and never sees the light of day.

It is for these reasons we see the atrocities committed against Jews in France and other places around the world.

It is the main stream media that stands in the centre of it all...
