There are millions of people like you the western world over who have been hoodwinked into thinking that Israel is just an ordinary democracy going about things in a decent way, with some troublesome Islamic neighbours getting in the way at times. That is the picture presented by a media that is either biased (aka Murdoch et al.) or suppressed by the Israel lobby. We want to hear the unvarnished truth, and we don't get it

So we are prevented from hearing the "truth."
Who do you blame for that Steve?
