Some people say that Mussolini's fascist government made the trains run on time. But they cannot disguise or excuse the ugly nature of the regime and what it stood for.

Ever since the Gaza war, biased journalists have been looking for ways to whitewash the terrorist Hamas regime in Gaza. The latest example comes from Susan Taylor Martin, Senior Correspondent for the St. Petersburg Times who conveniently ignores everything that Hamas stands for during a visit to the territory.

Taylor Martin's piece lacks vital context, creating a positive image of Hamas, a terrorist organization whose own charter promotes anti-Semitism and genocide against Israel and Jews.

While acknowledging that Israel launched Operation Cast Lead to deal with rockets falling on Israeli cities, the article states:

It has been nearly two years since Israel destroyed thousands of homes, schools and other buildings in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip during a three-week war

Did Israel really destroy civilians targets in Gaza out of a primitive desire to punish the Palestinians or simply for the sake of it?
