Israel's Bleeding Wound

Though many of the articles I've thus far read about the recent happenings with the Israeli conflict have been pro-evacuation from the Gaza Strip, this article is interestingly enough biased in the other direction. Instead of viewing the evacuations as a step towards peace, it sees it instead as a sign that Israel is all but defeated. The nation of Israel is simply weakening itself because it is so tired of the bloodshed, so tired of fighting, and instead of achieving the goal of peace, Israel has simply made Hamas and other Palestinian groups hungrier. The article claims that Palestine sees this as a step toward victory, towards one day overtaking Jerusalem and becoming rid of the Jews forever; it sees that terrorism has worked thus far, and therefore can expect to use the tactic further to win more.

This was a very interesting take on the Gaza Strip evacuations, and I think it is probably a good thing that it is different. One does not necessarily realize what one is reading is biased, unless his eyes are opened to the opposing viewpoint; by being a discerning reader he can then see through the biases of both sides and better understand what the truth really is.
