Media Blacks Out Israel's Aggression

To listen to corporate American media, Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza, its illegal collective punishment of human beings who live in Gaza, and its illegal ground war do not matter.

The only question is will this ground war cost too much: For Israel?

The same timid, unthinking analysis by the American media that led up to the Iraq War (an illegal war of aggression similarly based upon an array of fabrications and distortions) is on display as the 1,000s of casualties pile up in Gaza.

The United Nations Security Council has scheduled emergency consultations to address Israeli aggression: Its relevancy is, well, less than certain. That the overwhelming number of nations in the world, and the UN itself, condemn Israeli human rights violations thus far has not resulted in any anything approaching substantial influence in this sordid affair.
