IRISH MEDIA ARE TELLING LIES ABOUT GAZA

The Irish media is not giving a truthfull account of the War which the Israeli Army (the IDF) is fighting inside the Gaza.

This is not new but we must find a way to tell the truth.

This is not about the Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by terrorists (Not Militants the word used by the BBC)

It is because since Israel pulled every Jew out of the Gaza area the "Palestinian" terrorists have stepped up their war on Israel.

I search in vain for any real truthful assessment of this war on Israel in the Irish Media.

So I turn to another source to try to find some truthful facts and some sense.

This is an article I have just read and I hope it addresses the balance to give some facts to the ordinary Irish reader.




A View of Gaza From Jerusalemby Naomi Ragen

July 14, 2006 from Arutz Sheva

(This is an important website)


I am sitting here in the center of the maelstrom that has once again hit my little country, drowning in the blah-blah of hypocritical world leaders and my own confused government and military.

First, a clarification is necessary. Last week, the official military arm of the democratically elected government in Gaza, headed by Hamas, which is on the official list of international terror groups recognized by the US and its allies, crossed the internationally recognized border, entering the sovereign State of Israel by tunneling under a fence, and attacked an IDF military outpost with explosives and machine guns.

Two soldiers were killed, others were injured and one, Gilad Shalit, was forcibly abducted.This unprovoked attack followed months of missiles fired into Israel towns, which Israel has ignored.

Here is the list of the number of Kassam rockets that landed in the western Negev by month (from an article by Ami Isseroff): 12 in September 2005; 8 in October 2005; 4 in November 2005; 16 in December 2005; 1 in February 2006; 49 in March 2006; 64 in April 2006; 46 in May 2006; and 89 in June 2006.

According to all international conventions, these are continuing, escalating acts of war.

The current conflict is not about the release of an Israeli soldier, may God protect him and watch over him and return him safely. It is about acts of war. Even should Gilad Shalit be returned, God willing, two soldiers will never return.

This act of war must be met with a declaration of war and an all-out offensive that will destroy the enemy.Media outlets like the BBC play it both ways, saying Shalit was "captured", not "kidnapped." If they wish to confer legitimacy on the gangsters of Hamas, then they cannot use the argument that this attack was not an act of war, to which Israel must not respond in kind.

The US saw fit to enter Afghanistan and Iraq following a terrorist attack by Saudi nationals that killed thousands of Americans in New York and Washington. American forces bombed cities and killed civilians who were not directly involved, who have no border with the US and who have not formally declared their intention of destroying the US.

Nevertheless, the US administration now sees fit to suggest to Israel that it exercise "restraint" when its borders are violated by those who publicly declare their intention to wipe Israel off the map.

The foreign ministry of Switzerland was silent in the face of death and injury to thousands of innocent Israeli civilians at the hands of Palestinian suicide bombers during the last five years - in direct violation of the Geneva Convention on Human Rights.

Yet, the Swiss saw fit to declare on July 3 that Israel is in violation of the Geneva Convention in responding to the Gazan act of war with its reasonable, most circumspect and, so far, overly cautious and highly ineffective campaign in Gaza.

Naoimi Ragan goes on in her article to point out that the IDF is taking as much care as possible not to harm Palestinian civilians.

Yet I have seen none of this in the Irish media.

But it is a war and it is very well accepted by now that the Hamas and Fatah terrorists always operate from among civilians.

And it is also a fact that these "Palestinian" "civilians" are very much in support of the terrorists.

Not every civilian of course but the vast majority.

This is the result of the culture of Jew hatred which exists in "Palestinian" areas.
