Here's an interesting article about the media coverage of the conflict.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/3829967.stm
So basically you know nothing and are posting from the BBC and hoping that will be correct?

"The June 15 BBC Radio 3 'Night Waves' program focused on misleading media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The program includes three guests: two BBC editors, and Professor Greg Philo of Glasgow University, who recently produced a study claiming anti-Palestinian media bias in news coverage of the conflict. (Philo is a notorious anti-Israeli ideologue, whose biggest fans seem to be John Pilger and Noam Chomsky.)

The BBC editors defend their work against Philo's claims, but the show provides no legitimate counter-voice. A prime candidate for such a counter-voice, London attorney Trevor Asserson, has produced no less than three influential and exhaustive studies on BBC anti-Israel bias (http://www.bbcwatch.com/), but Asserson informs HonestReporting that he has never been asked by the BBC to come down to a studio and appear on-air."
