    Protests in Atlanta, Outside of CNN TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT GAZA

     
    Today nearly 1000 protesters marched from downtown to CNN's headquarters to protest over the media's pro-Israel bias. This is what American media WILL NOT tell you: In June 2008 Egypt brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Per the terms of this ceasefire Israel was supposed to lift its blockade on Gaza and Hamas would cease rocket attacks. Hamas stopped its rocket attacks but Israels blockade continued, violating the ceasefire. In November the IDF raided parts of the Gaza border, killing several members of Hamas. It was not until December 18th that Hamas declared the ceasefire to be over. Since then over 800 Palestinian people have been killed. In several instances Israel has bombed UN-chartered schools where civillians took shelter. The IDF first claimed they were fired upon from these schools but later privately retracted those statements when it was outted that the video they provided of the attacks were from several years ago. In another, over 30 people were told to shelter in a house by the IDF, which was hours lated shelled by the same soldiers. There is one term for it: WAR CRIMES. And it will continue to be supported here, unlike in the rest of the world, until our media decides to tell the truth.
