One thing I've noticed in this new century is the use of TV such as Fox and CNN to whip the public into a frenzy so that war is looked on as a good thing and we start cheering like we are watching a sports event.
Thanks Vulcan - Like I said, I don't agree with everything in the video, but some people believe that everything is happening in a vacuum, that Israel/US can do no wrong...

By reducing everything to polar opposites, black and white, it removes any opportunity for true debate and compromise...once both sides have a little empathy for the other's position, is when there will be true movement to peace.
