Israel has a elaborate media filter structure to cast the country and it's "occupation" in a favorable light around the world. These filters include Owners of media outlets(who conform to the political elite), the political elite, a PR ministry dedicated primarily to western influence(plus allied with the most influencial American PR firms, and finally and last line of media filtering are watchdog groups such as CAMERA. Israel will always be cast as "defenders" or "retaliating" on US airwaves although they are OCCUPYING foreign land. Also, the influx of Jewish "settlements" on occupied territory will alway be mentioned as "neighborhoods." I'm not Jewish or Arab, I just beleive the truth be told w/o spin. I loathe misinformation on our public airwaves.
