Comments on: The BBC’s Bias On Hamas And Israel http://www.anorak.co.uk/media/war-on-terror/181429.html Tabloid news for broadsheet readers Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:05:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Karen http://www.anorak.co.uk/media/war-on-terror/181429.html#comment-244301 Karen Mon, 03 Mar 2008 04:15:08 +0000 http://www.anorak.co.uk/war-on-terror/181429.html#comment-244301 The sick fact is - Israel loses the propaganda war because it's backed by America and it can't afford to lose any Israelis (due to the demographic war being more important than any military action) - where as the Palestinians have the numbers and in terms of publicity and the recruitment of militants they benefit from their people being killed. It's just a shame that there's no political or ideological structure that can integrate both sides in to a peaceful, prosperous, secure country. As it is, Israel is in for a long lingering death and whatever future state the Palestinians find themselves in is likely to be as corrupt and clannish as every other Arab state - only no one in the West will care, so they'll lose vital connections to Western scholarships and Aid - they'll be like the Yemen (which no offence to anyone from the Yemen, they're a lovely people, is full of oppressed minorities and chronic poverty).
