Its no big news that paying attention to the wording of description of recent events will be crucial in understanding the agenda of different sides. However, the media's claims are getting more and more outlandish recently:
Calling the rockets that Hamas that been sending into southern Israeli communities "homemade rockets." This rocket doesn't look like someone made it in their basement.
CNN described the bombing in Jerusalem as " a 'terrorist attack' - Israel's term for a Palestinian strike."
Even Obama said "I condemn in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in recent days, there is never any possible justification for terrorism."
This is just another reminder of how careful we need to be when choosing our media outlets.
