'The Gaza Crisis Is Underreported' - Blogger Haitham Sabbah

I've been blogging since before the blog bubble burst wide after the American war on Iraq started. From there onward and especially after 9/11, I noticed from the American blogsphere how effective this media can be and found it to be the only available way to express my political opinions. My main objective behind blogging is bridging the gap between the West and East, educating Western people about the real history of the Arab/Israel conflict and exposing the lies that are sometimes spread in the media.- Blogger Haitham Sabbah

NVDL: Interesting to get this side of the story.

clipped from english.ohmynews.com Besides the images we see on TV, how is the situation on the ground with ordinary citizens? Is there a sense of hopelessness, loss or fatalism? Have they mentioned on your TV that Israel is using depleted uranium and phosphoric bombs? Do ordinary citizens you talk to feel this war was uncalled for, or was unavoidable? What is their judgment of the crisis? Most, if not all, knew that it is coming. Not because they did something wrong as all believe in their right to resist, but because they knew that Israel needs some blood for its coming elections. Has the mainstream media been objective in their broadcasts? Israel stopped mainstream media from entering Gaza. They know that once they do that, the whole world will see the war crimes they are conducting there. CNN reports focused on the causalities on the Israeli side and the projectiles fired by Hamas from Gaza and ignoring the massacre of more than 300 Palestinians in Gaza -- more than half of them were civilians.
