Memory lapse?

Remember how many of us in Singapore were taken by surprised that there was actually another Singapore Flyer malfunction on the Dec 4, lasting an hour and inconvenincing about 70 pple? We didn't know because the press chose not to report it, and had to finally bring it up because of the later more major Flyer cockup involving 'spectacular' rescue op that everyone can see from the highway.. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_321148.html

Or how a friend used to complain that the reigning Government uses the press to silence to opposition parties all the time :-p

Well I was quite surprised that many of my friends think that the Palestinians have brought the latest tragedy upon themselves, but that doesn't make sense. The following is a well researched post quoting diverse source on how Israel breached the ceasefire to setup the invasion which was preplanned a long time ago.

Also a good piece titled 'The Facts about Israel’s War on Gaza'
