Could be.  The networks have been accused of pro-Israel bias and anti-
Israel bias at different times.  People go nuts and start shooting even
in a MacDonald's.  

The only thing that inflamed THIS pro-Israel individual was a radio report
to the effect that other Egyptian soldiers had prevented some Israeli
medical students who were on the scene from rendering aid to the wounded
Israelis.  If that's true, it puts those Egyptians in the same class as
the Russian soldiers who wouldn't allow an American sergeant to assist
the American officer they shot in East Germany, with the result that the
officer bled to death.  That would reinforce the idea that the American/
Israeli side is civilized, while our adversaries on the Russian/Arab side
are heartless barbarians.

Any further information as to whether the above radio report was true?
