I'm not giving an opinion of what side is right or wrong. I'm just questioning the position of this journalist, as someone that presents himself as siding with the "righteous" side, and failing to point out what it is obviously the same on the other side. As I said in my original comment: both sides won't look at the other side as humans, ... they both purposely dehumanize their enemy. So the guy is accusing Israelis of dehumanizing the Palestinians, but the Palestinians are doing the same. Again, this is not new, and it is a very typical situation in ethnic conflicts out of mutual resentment. It is also the struggle of the conquered.

I don't think this journalist is a hero for standing up and speaking. I just think he is purposely? ignorant.
