Yes, they're pro-Israel. They say they are, so it's not like they're misleading anyone. They're dedicated to watching out for biased reporting against Israel, which is all too common. Personally, I think they're fantastic.

Weren't those "7 innocent people" part of Yassin's entourage? How are they innocent, then? The bodyguards of an arch-terrorist...not exactly pure of heart. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

And, here comes the "old man in a wheelchair". [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] You know what - his being in a wheelchair didn't stop him from murdering hundreds of Israelis.

This might cause more attempted attacks in the short term, but in the long run, it will be only for the better.

So Hamas people said, "The gates of Hell have opened"? Yup - and they've got wheelchair access [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]</STRONG>

Elisheva, I didn't say that what they're saying is false, but they're biased media too, just like the medias they're fighting against. They're saying the truth, but from their point of view (you know that truth is a multiple-edged sword, don't you?).

While I thought that the article posted by sum1 is quite accurate actually, there were others stuffs that I read in the past that were obviously biased and would be considered opinions, not facts by pro-palestinians. They always correct things that are biased against Israel but 'forget' to correct things that are biased against Palestine (and I've read some good one).
BTW, I'm neither pro-Israel, nor pro-Palestine, to clarify everything.

And I didn't bring the good ol' myth of the 'Man in the wheelchair'. I'm one who think that Yassin was a dangerous man and certainly didn't think he was impotent. I just stated that since he's in a wheelchair, maybe they could have killed him another way. The guy can't move. That's why the 'wheelchair' thing was brought up.

Among the 7 people that were killed too, 2 were his bodyguards, and the 5 others, mere people who came over there to pray. Do we know for sure that they were innocents? No. Just like we don't know if they were members of the Hamas either. They were near him when they died, so that makes them Hamas members too?
Shoot, unlucky men if that wasn't the case, they were in the wrong place, in the wrong moment. Looks like it's okay to have lots of collateral damages and just labeled them 'terrorists' too when we know nothing of them.
