On the Israel thing

My mom just got back from about a two week trip to Israel a few days before Christmas. Just before Israel started their offencive. My moms first hand impression was quite different then what you probably see in the main stream media on a regular basis.

She said when she was over there that Israel was being randomly bombed on a regular basis. I think everyone (including her) knew there were attacks there but she saw how it was actually much, much worse than what you see get reported. Some of her trip was cut out because some areas were just to hot for a tourist to go into. To much bombing going on, to many innocent people being killed.

Israel was just sitting back and taking it, day after day. Her tour guides and people she talked to knew where (Pretty specifically) the problems were coming from but the guides also knew and openly talked about how as soon as Israel fought back the the world media would be all over them for "destroying homes, killing innocent people and trying to start a war".

Sure enough....
