I finally managed to watch the entire program "Pathfinders: Into the heart
of Afghanistan" on Sky from end to end.
 
In the context of the Gaza operation, I can't help contrasting the admiring
and respectful treatment this British news channel rightfully gives it own
men in uniform, with the often harsh and critical treatment it dishes out to
Israel's armed forces.
 
A visitor from another planet would find it difficult to believe that both
armies are battling the same fundamentalist Islamist terror, with Israel's
fight taking place on its own doorstep!
 
Do prejudices still run that deep, or are they trying to distance themselves
from Israel's troubles and still keep one foot in the Arab/Muslim world?
