1) In the Middle East, it's always the Arabs that are the bad guys and attack first, while Israel always defends.

2) Arab Palestinians and Lebanese don't have the right to kill civilians, that's terrorism. Only white nations (U.S., U.K. and Israel) kill for good of the world.

3) When Israel kills civilians, the western powers ask them to be constrain themselves. This is what we call a 'Reaction from the International Community'.

4) The Palestinians and Lebanese don't have any right to capture any soldiers from Israel, even if the amount doesn't surpass 3. This is kidnapping helpless people.

5) The Israelis can capture as many civilians where they want and when they want. Even if the current amount is 10,000 (from that 300 are children and 1,000 are women), it doesn't matter. They don't need evidence. All the evidence they need is by calling them a terrorist. And before I forget, they can keep them prisoner for as long they want.

6) When you speak of Hezbollah you must somehow put "supported and financed by Syria and Iran" somewhere in the same sentence.

7) When you mention Israel, you mustn't say, "supported and financed by the U.S." because that could give the impression that the conflict isn't fair and that Israel isn't in grave danger.

8) Never talk about 'occupied territory' or UN resolutions. Don't forget, never mention of human rights or international violations, or the Geneva convention either. This might upset the Israelis and the Western world, especially those who watch FOX, CBS, CNN, and BBC etc etc.

9) The Palestinians, as well as the Lebanese, are all a bunch of cowards. They are so much that they hide amongst the civil population that doesn't want them there. They sleep with their wives and families, in their houses. This is true coward ness and sheer evil. Israel has every right to destroy all the neighborhoods where they live. This shall be referred to as a 'deeply heroic surgical strike'.

10) The Israelis speak better English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese etc than the Arabs. That's why themselves and those who support them are interviewed more and have more opportunities than the Arabs to explain and talk about the rules I just mentioned above. This is what we call journalistic neutrality.

11) Here's the most important rule: Anybody who disagrees with the rules mentioned is automatically an anti-Semitic terrorist who is highly dangerous.
