Death of another ethnic cliche'...

...the clever, far-sighted Jews. The attack on the flotilla was the stupidest thing I have seen in my lifetime. THE STUPIDEST. It beats Arthur Scargill playing bull to Margaret Thatcher's matador by a mile - and I never thought I would live to see anything more stupid than that. It makes every Italian politician, inlcuding Pecoraro Scanio, seem like a positive genius by comparison. It is the abyss; if you made it up, nobody would believe you. The enemy lay a propaganda trap a child could have seen through - and the idiot Israelis fell straight into it. Anyone with half a brain would have left those seaborne morons alone. Sorry, I stand with the Jews, but a government that acts with such total folly when its very existence is at stake may well turn out to be too stupid to survive.

Well, that being said, I don't really think it's the norm in Israel. They have paediatrics departments that save premature babies around the clock. It may be a fashionable trend, but I don't think it applies to the majority. Of course if you balance your report, it doesn't make for half as sensational reading...

Too true, being a(n almost graduated) journalist student I do realise that journalists want to “sell” their article(s) and mostly put the focus on the more sensational aspects / parts of the story.
