Only on the Leonard Lopate show can Gaza and it's kids can be discussed with Lenny bringing up suicide bombing in a vaccum.
Hey,!!!!Lenny Gaza is under seige.It's being starved to death by the Israeli army.400 items are being denied entry into the Gaza Ghetto by Israel.Air,water,and borders are sealed by Israel.Before that extra judicial assasinations,home demolitions,arrest without trial deoportation .land and water theft,ect...was routinely conducted by Israel.Israeli army directive allowed it's soldiers to kill kids over the age of 13.

re: bruce
It is a two-way road. It is also the minority faction of Muslim Leaders that thrive on provoking the US & West. Being at war with the US allows them to expand their fundamental ideology and maintain power.
What is great about Ms. Amanpour's reporting is that she is going beyond the radicals (who are influential) and looking at average person. Leaders will never agree, but I'm sure if you put an average American and an average person from a Muslim country in the same room they would find they have more in common than not.
Ms. Amanpour's reporting on the mideast are certainly not the norm in US media.After being railroaded into the disastorous Invasion of Iraq,in which American media was certainly complicit,alarms are not going off when the same crowd wants a war with a third Islamic nation.Just what the US taxpayer needs!!Radio hosts,WNYC not an exception never fail to intersprese,"mideast terror","9/11","Islamo Fascism","Iranian WMD" in the discourse.The question is will the minorty faction keep the US at war with a Billion Muslims?
