I think this signifies a failure on Clinton's part. Throughout the campaign you couldn't swing a dead horse without hearing her carp about how we need "preconditions" before entering into negotiations with non-compliant countries. In this case, she fell short of getting Israel to agree to a pretty important ( to the Palestinians/region/world community) precondition. Without full cooperation on this one very important issue peace talks will inevitably be impotent. She is posturing. "Not backing down to Palestinian pressure" is code for the other guy (Israel) won't back down to me so I gotta look tough on someone. This is absolutely backpedaling, like every other Secty. of State before her she is letting Israel get away with simply ignoring U.S. mandates and rewarding them with all that "free propaganda" she hated so much during the campaign. All I gotta say is #epicClintonFail.  View

I actually somewhat agree with John Hannity in that last clip. We should TRY to be as objective as we can as a nation--showing preference to one side is only going to hurt us at this point. Now, obviously under the Bush admin, there was a huge preference given towards Israel over Palestine. So, I do think the U.S. needs to show sensitivity in its dealings and perhaps try to repair any damages caused by the Palestine exclusions. Still, ideally, this country does not want to alienate either one but rather work with both of them. Sadly, that is the most difficult step.  View

Kudos to Goldstone for standing up against the injustice of Israel .It takes a great courage to stand up for what is right.This guy has a big heart and i trust his findings.The world needs to know the truth and not the one sided,biased tired line' israel has a right to defend itself'.Yes they do.So as palestines but killing innocent civilians and trading their body organs is just Gross and a new low for the Israeli government.  View

Goldstone is a low and small man Blinded by world hates and driveng by the world crimes Israel as the right to respond to any terror org Hamas is a terror gaza based org  View

Yo it's crazy! Every one knows Iran has nuclear capabilities. And that it's main mission in life is to blow israel off the face of the earrh. It may be Israel's only defense to strike first. They r delaying larger sanctions. And the UN is getting on my frigging nerves...acting all clueless someone needs to invade Iran and make those Shiite Muslims disappear before they do something really stupid like start WWIII  View

First of all, I hope your site succeeds - I think it has the potential to be an amazing tool for teachers who work with media and current issues in the classroom. Second - Overall, this is a great overview of how the different media sources are portraying the story. As someone who is Zionist and fairly left wing by Israeli standards, I felt that the clips you chose cover every valid angle that can be taken about the story. Third - A couple of comments about the anchor's script. the anchor says the following: "The two states" (in reference to the Israelis and Palestinians) - right now, there is only one state, and the territories that are in dispute. The stated outcome of the process is to end up with two sovereign states. Both sides would disagree with the assumption that there are already two states. "Palestine and Israeli Conflict" - this is a strange turn of phrase in all sorts of ways. As per the note above, there is currently no state called "Palestine," although I hope there will be one soon. A better phrase is the common "Israeli-Palestinian conflict," or "Conflict between Israel and the Palestinians." I myself am comfortable with the term "occupation" to refer to what is going on in the West Bank, but the word itself is pretty loaded. Thank you for providing such a useful service.  View

Like most Americans I don't know or understand much about the pUighur/Han ethnic/political conflict or even the Darfur crisis as the liberal mass media concentrates it's propaganda/brainwashing on the sham so-called Palestinian myth/lie about "stolen" land in Israel. wAnyway, wwwhat  View

Well, it looks like this is another sell out of American support of one of the USs few allies. I am surprise that Israel hasn't already struck Iran's nuclear facilities. God help the United States if our annointed one(president Obama)should pull the rug out from Israel.  View

Israel didn't "annex" the region from Jordan in 1967, there was this little matter of a war... Israel cannot categorically refuse to allow Palestinians a right of return when their own courts have set a precedent allowing Israeli's a right of return.  View

Even if the land is Israel's, they can't just kick people out like this. It's not fair for them, especially when they have lived there for 50 years. It's their home! What are they going to do without it?  View
