Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Yes, we should empathize with people who suffer..like victims of terror, for example. (Carleton never did this by the way). And who says he suffered? He had a quick heart attack and died on the spot.

I never wished Carleton ill. I am just expressing the fact that I am not particularly moved by his death, and wanted to let people know what he stood for, while most news outlets wax lyrical on how great he was. That is not to say I am happy he died, or am celebrating.

My views on the Middle East are not motivated by anger, but by morality, justice and logic.

It is compassionate, to empathise with those who suffer – regardless of whether they did/do us wrong. It is what makes us human.

I lost my homeland to the Chinese but I’d never wish them ill. Life goes on. If you react in anger/war, you are the loser. And in looking at the state of the Middle East – no wonder peace eludes it – the never-ending childish sabre-rattling and tit-for-tat. Enough already.

You’ve too much anger in your heart.

Whilst I don’t like to talk ill of the dead, and always express sympathy over a bereavement, I can’t help wondering about Richard Carleton’s final interview. Maybe its his turn to be interviewed this time. Our judge in heaven will be asking the hard hitting questions of Mr Carleton, like how he has been able to distort history, manipulate information out of context, and lead many mindless television viewers to the conclusion that terrorism against Israel is just legitimate freedom fighting. Maybe Mr Carleton will have to justify why he overlooked the truth and stood on the wrong side of history.

This is BG- hoping that the judgement of this persons reporting history and contribution to humanity will take a mere 60 minutes of trash TV and turn it into an eternal restoration of a much troubled soul – measure for measure. Mr Carleton – Goodnight.

The man was a terror sympathizer and apologist, so just because he is dead, does not mean I will not post about what he stood for.

Besides, there was nothing in my post disrespectful. I only stated facts.

Really, the man’s dead. Show some respect.

If you have an interest in media bias, I host the Mediocre Media carnival (that’s what I entered for the url). Abba Gav (Israel), Dr Sanity (US) and Steve Janke (Canada) are supporters, and a fair bit of the material there includes stuff on Israel.

It tracks media bias, agenda, factual error, etc.

Like you said, no tears for Carleton; it’s a shame the Torah says we shouldn’t take pleasure in the news.

Cheers
