So, Who's Crueler?

Gaza Under Attack! Gaza Under Siege! Those are the words which catch your eyes in every piece of newspaper. Precisely, those words catch your eyes in almost all the English papers which you can find throughout Malaysia. But have you get yourself a chance to have a glance at how Malay newspapers describe the incident in their headlines?

"Kejam! Kejam! Kejam!"

There it goes... Those are the words which I could see from one of the Malay newspapers' headlines. Very apparently, those publishers concerned indeed are very upset regarding the current war between Israel and Palestine. Spiritually, they share what the unfortunate Palestinians experienced. Some of the rakyat even weep and mourn for them. At the same time, they chant words of Israel's cruelty while implementing anti-US campaigns.

But sadly, news reported that Palestinians were the one who launched the attack on Israel first hand after the cease-fire agreement has ended. Preventing to be labeled as a wimp, Israel reacted and showed their true guts by counter-attacking.

Some news also reported that, the radical tribe from Palestine, Hamas, is actually intentionally evacuating innocent Palestinians to sites where Israel troops would probably launch series of attacks on, so as to show Israelites are merciless people by slaughtering, achieving ethnic-cleansing effect brutally. As a consequence, all the newspapers are therefore reporting how devilish Israel could be. How true is this? Well, there are just some points to ponder, since Palestinians are attacking the Israelites at the same time, why are the newspapers showing only the pitiful faces of the Palestinians who lost their beloved ones to the war, but not showing any of the pitiful faces of Israelites?

Apart from that, some hearings revealed that within the few months long of cease-fire agreement, Hamas members were digging routes underground, which could lead to the country of Pharaoh. What are their intentions? Furthermore, Lebanon, a country which got involved in the mess reluctantly, was launching attack on Gaza as well. News reported that those were the doings of some Palestinians who are currently dwelling in that country.

But well... primary school teachers and my mama always used to tell the kiddo Phantom that, when a person hit you intentionally, and in any case you hit that person back, both of the individuals are pleaded guilty. Israel just seems like the country which carries the role of hitting back, thus causing such terrifying aftermath.

So, who's right and who's wrong? There's no answer to this million-dollar question. But all we know is both countries are cruel, they are all Hitlers of the new generation who lengthen the suffering period of the globe.

Who knows but it does seem like the press always shine a light on those who think might win favor with the public.

I guess since the war is engaged in Gaza, so in the eyes of public, the crueler party would be Israel. But as a matter of fact, no one really knows.. Haiz..

It's indeed that there's almost no press freedom in Malaysia. And I see that most of the time when something happens, the press is one of the tool to build up the indoctrination...Sadly, most Malaysians are influenced by the paper......So, that's why we actually need to think, think, and think and to see things from different dimensions. I'm learning to do that too.
Apart from that, I still strongly agree with the saying that:"The only way to peace is through peace."

Press freedom? Do those words even exist in Malaysia?
You cannot count on the newspapers to discover what's happening backstage.
The only way for us to discover the truth is through selective websites as well as blogs.
But very sadly, ISA seems to be the most powerful autocratic noun when we are seeking the truth.

Israel is sending reservists into Gaza.. Expect more bloodshed moments.
