But the news only choose to report about suicide bombings or assassinations by Israel. I mean come on, schools are being rebuilt, Palestinian kids and Israeli soldiers play with each other often, and most Palestinians aren't suicide bombers. But the damn media only chooses to report the bad stuff.
But I'm sure that if the US was under occupation and there was daily attacks and bombs exploding here and there you wouldn't consider it a mess at all.

According to the FBI 2002 report, a murder is commited every 32 minutes in the United States. That means roughly about 48 murders are commited per day. Is the United States a MESS? Now how many of these murders are on the news? Go to your cnn.com and see if they reported any. How about yesterday? Why not? Is it because it's not attention grabbing?? What would your perception of the United States be if CNN reported each and every one of these murders on its front page every 32 minutes? Think beyond front page news kid.
