A former Israel Broadcasting Authority news editor admits: “We slanted the news towards a withdrawal from Lebanon - because we had sons there.â€I had a reaction, but "Maine's Michael" says it better:
[...]
Dr. Chanan Naveh, who edited the Israel Broadcasting Authority radio’s news desk in late 1990’s and early 2000’s, ... mentioned, with no regrets, two examples in which he and his colleagues made a concerted effort to change public opinion:"In our newsroom, three of the editors had sons in Lebanon, and we took it upon ourselves as a mission - possibly not stated - to get the IDF out of Lebanon... I have no doubt that we promoted an agenda of withdrawal that was a matter of public dispute.â€-- Hillel Fendel, Israel National News
...They fail to realize that they are not living in the US, or Scandinavia, or Spain or any other country that is not surrounded by far more numerous mortal enemies that want them not only dead and gone, but mutilated into the bargain.
These idiots are blowing on a house of cards.
It would be an interesting study to see to what extent some sort of psycological defense mechanism is at work, wherein at some level their minds start thinking magically, that if they think and sound like LLL's of powerful, secure, western countries, that must mean they are living in a powerful, secure western country.
It's craziness.
