FlamingOTD, I have enough knowledge to refute many things that you said.
But I do not have the time or the patience to type detailed refutations now.
To make a long story short, you have been listening to the MSM
(Mainstream New Media), which is NOT a reliable source of information.
On the contrary, the Mainstream New Media has been waging relentless war
against The State of Israel, 365 days a year, for more than half-a-century.

�The mainstream media has abandoned all pretense of objectivity.
Whereas in the past journalists viewed themselves as unbiased
chroniclers of the news, their focus today is on manufacturing it
and dominating the ensuing conversations.
A journalist�s influence today isn�t determined by the quality
or accuracy of their reporting, but rather the size of their
Twitter following and the frequency of their television appearances.�

Mark R. Levin (a lawyer and best-selling author) said:
�Unlike the early patriot press, today�s newsrooms and journalists
are mostly hostile to America�s founding principles, traditions, and institutions.
They do not promote free speech and press freedom,
despite their self-serving and self-righteous claims.
Indeed, they serve as societal filters attempting to enforce
uniformity of thought and social and political activism
centered on the Progressive ideology and agenda.
Issues, events, groups, and individuals that do not fit
the narrative are dismissed or diminished;
those that fit the narrative are elevated and celebrated.�
