THE Western media has had a high old time bashing Russia.

Russia has not killed anyone – separatists perhaps – but what about Israel?

It is guilty of a multitude of war crimes but is protected by America. Israeli soldiers can kill Palestinians with impunity.

If they were killing the Hamas militants they may be justified, but no – women and children are being slaughtered.

Are there no depths to which Israel will not sink?
