Three days and 350+ casualties later, it is still hard to find an opinion piece in a major newspaper that is anything but praise for Israel’s pounding of Gaza.
But those selfsame media outlets employ selective (and grossly untrue) reporting when covering the India-Pakistan conflict; reports on India are about a bellicose nation that is mounting its troops along the border with Pakistan, while those about Pakistan are of a peace-loving nation desperately trying to balance its commitment to the United States in the war on terror while having to protect its sovereignty from a bullying neighbor.
While Israel’s right to protect its citizens cannot be denied, it is worth pondering how much more effective its methods are, given the cushion of a well-oiled propaganda machine that India lacks.
