Focusing attention on the victims of terror and not on those who use it and do it - seems obvious, even trite.
But in today's beleagured news media - with (to name but a few aspects that affect many of them) their misplaced agenda-driven willingness to put objectivity on the back-burner; the inability of many reporters, photographers and editors to actually understand the issues in front of their faces and the history behind them and (as a result) their willingness to follow the pack; and the urge to sensationalize - as well as the competitive pressures under which they operate and the relentless threat from free news on the Web, it happens too rarely
The result is we get serious, responsible, fair analytic and objective news reporting much less than we ought to.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
