A Kid's Point of View.

Dear BBC,CNN,SKYTV:

I am writing to you all since you have so much power with the electronic media today. I am an 8th grader, 13years old in Jerusalem, Israel.

My friends were killed in the summer by terrorists of the Arabs, when they were having pizza in Jerusalem.

My cousin,Natasha, was killed by Arab terrorists in Tel Aviv, when she was waiting in line to dance in a disco during the summer too.

My uncle was blown up in the World Trade Center in New York by terrorists, where he worked on the 83rd floor of one of the towers.

My greatgrandfather, David, was burned in Auschwitz.

I cannot understand why you keep referring in today's newscasts about the murder of our Tourism Minister Zeevi by terrorists, as a revenge from the Israeli army's killing of a terrorist chief.
Minister Zeevi was an elected politician. He was a head of his party. He would be like a member of the House of Commons or the US Congress in the 'Western' world. He might have had different political views than most of your left-leaning reporters, who depend on Arab money gifts from the Palestinians here to give their biased reporting, but he was a member of the government's cabinet.

All day your reporters are talking about Zeevi's assassination in Jerusalem, as if he was a terrorist like the ones who killed my friends and cousins and uncle over the past few months. Mr. Zeevi was a former general and military hero. He turned to politics in 1988 when he was first elected to the Knesset, our US type of Congress here.

I wish that when I grow up I could be a reporter for one of your networks. I would not talk or lie like your reporters do today, that Mr. Zeevi's assassination as a politician was in response to the terrorists who murder. Mr. Zeevi did not send out his assistants to kill Arab kids in discos and pizza parlors. Mr. Zeevi did not send out terrorist pilots that worked for him to fly into the World Trade Center to kill 6000 civilians.

I hope that you don't throw out this letter even though I'm only in 8th grade. I know that killing terrorists is OK. Isn't that what Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair are doing today over in Afghanistan? They are not killing or bombing civilian politicians with differing views.

So in the future, if your reporters continue to lie and give deceitful news about the murder of a member of my government's cabinet and compare it to the killing of terrorists in Gaza and Ramallah by my country's army during wartime, I will take my whole 8th grade class and picket outside your offices here in Israel.

I know that this does not scare you as much as those Arab terrorists who threatened your reporters' lives last month when your reporters wanted to release the video footage of Arabs in the West Bank demonstrating in joy on Sept. 11 for their king terrorist Bin Laden, but at least we 8th graders can demonstrate about the truth and not the lies of your media.

I have to go back to my class now and turn off BBC,CNN, and SKYTV before I get too toxic with your falsehoods and anti-Jewish rhetoric.
