The story reflects a <br>  <br> deep media bias not unlike that of the embedded <br>  <br> reporters in Iraq for the U.S. war who wrote only one <br>  <br> side of the \"war\" &ndash; really an unprovoked U.S. attack <br>  <br> for the never-to-be-found weapons of mass destruction. <br><br>  <br>  <br> The occupation, fighting, and brutality &ndash; the tearing <br>  <br> down of homes, the expansion, and the murder of often <br>  <br> non-violent, sometimes David-like stone throwing <br>  <br> youth, is experienced in Palestine &ndash; not Israel. This <br>  <br> is instigated by the IDF, the Israeli \"Defense\" Forces <br>  <br> in their unrelenting, continued drive since the <br>  <br> inception of the State of Israel in l948 only to <br>  <br> expand, take more land, more homes &ndash; more lives.  <br><br> Got education?
