John,
Your whole thesis appears to be:
1) Arabs/Palestinians are uncivilised troublemakers.
2) Israel is a peace loving nation.
3) There is an international anti-Israeli media conspiracy which distorts
reality.

However, to date, you have produced nothing that backs your thesis as a
whole other than your own biased opinion. In short, you lack all credibility
on this issue.

Despite that, you are welcome to hold your opinions. What I don’t get is why
you hold them? Why do you ignore the truth? It is not even as if you offer a
different perspective on events, you just ignore reality and make wholly
unsubstantiated allegations.
