Blogs About Israel

    We get it.  Everyone hates the Jews and Israel.  Its unnecessary for people to blog about every little anti-Israel and Anti-Semitic thing said in the Media.  Or even the pro-Israel things said.  We know who our friends and who our enemies in the media and in politics are.  Glen Beck supports Israel.  The NY Times generally doesn't.  The Itamar massacre was horrible.  Many More people died in the Tsunami and there were bigger reprucussions from it thats why it got more covereage.  Deal with it, not everyone cares about Israel nearly as much as we do so dont get your panties in a bunch if the Itamar massacre or the bus bombing doesn't get as much press as the impending nuclear meltdown in Japan or regime changes in many Middle Eastern countries.  I love Israel as much as the next YU student but we get it blog about something else.

    Sure, there has been a great deal of blogging about Israel, but i wouldn't say thats a bad thing. If that's what is truly important to people then why can't they talk about that? Also, i don't think the majority of the Israel posts were "little things." Some very significant things have recently happened there.

    I disagree with the notion that a person shouldn’t talk about something just because he knows where others stand. The whole purpose of blogging and open debates is to share opinions in the hope of influencing others, or at least raising awareness about issues that you feel are important.
    For an American that doesn’t really know much about anti-Israeli bias in the media, regular citizens who point it out could in fact be the only way that they’ll become aware of the biases. Just because we, in our insolated Jewish community here in YU understand the world is not always fair in its representation and coverage of Israel, it doesn’t mean people elsewhere are on the same page as us. So I do think it’s important to make our voices heard.
