The national and international news media, by reducing the current conflict between the nation of Israel and the terrorist group Hamas to little more than body count, is at best sloppy and lazy. At the median it is a collaboration with the primitive, barbaric and atavistic terrorist murderers that Israel is trying to protect itself from. At worst it is consistent with the vilest forms of anti-Semitic blood libel.
