TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: The entire media has consistently turned a blind eye to the demolition of Palestinian homes by Israel. The issue is ignored, underplayed and justified by liberals as well. I find this exemption to the principles of liberalism to be very disturbing. This is an issue of human dignity.

Collective punishment is a violation of Geneva Conventions. Demolishing homes for this reason is illegal, but demolishing homes to make room for Jewish settlers is a valid cause of rage among the victims and their supporters. We, the media and the people of the world have to eliminate the Israel public scrutiny exemption. It is the right thing to do! Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
