The article was about how the media “downplays the real threats” in the Middle East when it comes to the Israeli-Arab conflict. The article was more pro-Israeli than pro-Palestinian. It states that Israel is actually trying to make peace and that news sources are not getting enough different sources to state a position on the issues. There are also other threats involved in the issue that the media doesn’t express enough. Palestinians are not necessarily the most anti-terrorist group of people. They are teamed up with a lot of the Arab terrorist and their countries like Iran. Iranian, Palestinian, and other terrorist have weapons-caches, and bases in areas like the Gaza Strip and West Bank. This is where many attacks on Israel are made from. If these terrorist are not stopped than the terrorist will not only kill Israelis but may threaten the rest of the world. There isn’t really a lot of information missing in this article since it makes statements from both sides of the Israeli- Arab conflict. The one thing that it is missing is the details of the occupation of the territories where the Palestine. The article doesn’t mention much about the level of oppression on the Palestinians that pro- Palestinian articles show.
