Here's a story you won't see in the US media. Some Israeli soldiers have come forward and testified that they were ordered to kill six random Palestinian policemen after six Israeli soldiers were killed. This is what we call indiscriminate, folks, and proves once again that Israel does not have the world's most moral army.
Here's a piece of the testimony, available in full at www.breakingthesilence.org.

Some terrorist arrived at a (our) checkpoint and killed 6. That evening we were rushed off to a room. Suddenly our (Naval) squad commander came from some two-minute long briefing saying ‘Listen….we are doing…our action is a revenge. We are going to kill 6 Palestinian policemen somewhere, revenging our six they took down’.
Turns out the story has made headlines in the US media, but I haven't seen it on any of the cable news channels...

Well, it's not like they don't have U.S. news to cover. They can't cover everything that comes out of Israel or Palestine.
