Israel is Guilty Until Proven Guilty


Remember those Magic Eye posters, the ones where you had to stare and lose focus on the obvious picture and a 3D image would appear. It takes a lot of work to see the image, most of the time you just give up.

Finding the truth in the news is a lot like that. What is presented to you en masse is a deception. There are elements of the truth, sure, but the big picture you come away with is entirely false. It's a lot of work to glean the truth and, unbelievably, most people don't seem to care much unless it effects them directly. And still many would rather go with the deception. It's easier? More fun? Maybe they just don't have an inner compass to point them in the right direction. I don't know. Why do some people lie when the truth would suit them better? I guess they are so comfortable in their lies that they can no longer recognize the truth. Whatever. I prefer reality.

The Israel situation. I don't think it takes all that much to figure out what's up here. I guess if you're already wrapped up in the deceptions of the world it might be tougher, you probably think you already know. I don't think the "news" is ever more deceptive than when it is reporting on Israel. There is a template that is followed every time - Israel bad, terrorists...what terrorists? Tea Partiers are terrorists. Are they in Israel?
