Rowan Dean, an Australian Sky News presenter, presented during today's broadcast (Wednesday) a single image from Operation Guardian of the Walls, which he said tells the entire story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past 70 years. What are your chances of winning a duplex? And why is your dream closer than ever? What do you say about white chocolate with cookie crumbs? And what about a tasty snack? Dean chose a photo showing rocket fire from Gaza (right) in contrast to the Iron Dome interception (left): "The story of the last 70 years in Israel is presented in one photo - a small, technologically advanced democracy that constantly has to defend itself from brutal attack, under the auspices of the Arab regimes and Islamist fanatics who surround it." Dean mocked statements that the Palestinians are the victims and pointed to figures such as singer Roger Waters, who claimed that Israel attacks Palestinian victims and said of it: "What nonsense." He referred to the Israeli message, from the mouth of Tzipi Hotovely, who is heard asking: "What would you do if they bombed London or Paris?" - and to mock her biased interviewer.
