Two stations from two parts of the world had displayed the recent attacks in a very different manner. On one end the IRINN, the Islamic Republic News Network had a special 24-hour report about the Palestinians deaths and struggles with sad images, along with poems and songs for the Palestinians and the Muslims to get involved with the issue. The poems and songs were about the children and mothers to allow their kids to become Martyr. The emphasis of the news channel reporting and “advertisement” was to increase the hate and encourage fighting to the end. The images were mostly kids crying and mothers screaming by their young children bloody bodies. Men were carrying their young kids rapped around white sheets while crying and hitting their head and the entire neighborhood behind them yelling “Allah o Akbar”.
The other side of the world, things seem much more quieter. There were some lines coming across the news channels saying that the US government has asked Hamas to stop its rocket attacks. The images of the Palestinian buildings under the Israeli attacks were shown with some men calmly smoking cigarettes while walking through the rubbles, but they did mention that there were some casualties and dead people. The focus however was on the Israeli side that some smoke was coming out of an area that Hamas had hit with their rockets.
Some interesting point is that the Iranian TV had emphasis their dislike for the Egyptian government and I believe IRI would begin their plea to the Arabs to demand change of direction for the Egyptian government. According the IRINN and their interviews with some Palestinian officials and reporters, the Israelis could not attack Gaza if it wasn’t for the green light from the Egyptian government.
