Case in point - the Israeli's would say that was a result of rocket launches
into their territory not their attack. You've just introduced an opinion
there. Not so easy to state objective facts, check the problems Wikipedia
have on this issue. 

Besides all that though I like the opinions and analysis - I don't want my
news coming to me in the form of pure statistics. Might as well take up
accountancy! I'm quite lucky here though - I get a healthy mix of European,
UK, US and Russian news. If you want a less biased account, get more
sources.
