Some observations on the Gaza campaign

By David Verveer

I know that the subject of the Gaza war is boring, we are already busy with more interesting items such as the weight of Miss Paris Hilton and the sex life of Madonna, but still I have to remind you that there is a war going on, on a small strip of desert, south west of Israel, against a group of terrorists, who keep 1 and half million of Palestinians as hostages, in their attempt to legalize their actions of terrorizing Israel.

I will not go into the historical aspects of this fight, neither the right for any individual to live according his own convictions, even if this is according the Islamic Shariac laws. But what bothers me is the peculiar way; Israel's fight with Hamas is brought to the readers of the free world. Even though, the Hamas organization has been classified as an International terrorist organization, in the free press, the extreme left and extreme right, they (the terrorists) are pictured daily as poor underdogs, suffering from a type of Holocaust brought on them by those brute and cruel Israelis.

I know, we should apologize to the world, that Israel is a stronger military force than a few thousand armed criminals who keep the Palestinian population as hostage and use them as shields, trying to get the sympathy from the World press by creating scenes of suffering innocent bystanders. The reason Israel uses all his available might in destroying the Hamas is obvious, as we can not afford to lose the battle, which would be the end of Israel. But the world does not like a stronger force, irrelevant who it is opposing, it loves the underdog, and in this case, the suffering of the underdog (the Palestinian), are caused by actions of the Hamas, is blamed fully on the Israeli oppressor.

Those wise men of the United Nations Security Council decided a few days ago that fighting should be stopped, Israel told the council politely that it could not adhere to this clever decision, as it would not solve the problem, which requires to eliminate once and for all this dangerous cancer which threatens the entire free world, the Hamas did not reply to the Security council, but the press informed the world that the aggressor Israel refused to lay down their arms, don’t the journalists know the ancient expression of "it takes two to tango".

Than we have the item of Israel attacking UN schools, mosques and public buildings, killing numerous innocent Palestinians, nobody writes about the 5 Israeli schools and nurseries bombed only in the last two weeks, because that was no item, nobody got killed, because we don't use our public for political purposes, our innocent population of children, women and non military people (under fire for the last 8 years) are running for cover several times per day because incoming missiles, aimed at innocent people not the army. Why don't the Governments in our gracious world protest those brave attacks on the civilian population of Israel, are our lives of less value than those of the Palestinians?

But nobody in the West wants to know the truth, what really happened at those schools, who did what and why? Three facts of what occurred really in those murky town streets in the Gaza strip, as can be seen on recorded videos (filmed of course by those lying bastards of the Israeli Defense Forces, during the battle).
1 – "UNWRA School". The school has been closed since the war started; Palestinian refugees were temporary allocated on the school grounds, joined by a small band of terrorists, who fired from the school compound on he Israeli troops. The Israelis returned fire killing the terrorists and the Palestinians in the line of fire. The Hamas reported 50 killed (most children) but failed to provide a list of their names, nor shows the video published by the Hamas, more than 4 children, who were carried into the hospital (the same kids over and over again) without any clue if they were hurt or killed.

2 – "The school in Bet Hanoun". The troops advancing in this town found the school building empty, and camped there for the night, in the morning, a curious Israeli trouper noticed just on time that the school, including a small zoo of wild animals, had been booby trapped, (with more than a half ton of explosives'), warning his friends to run for safety, would they have succeeded in blowing up 150 Israeli soldiers, would it recorded by the press as another aggression by the Israelis against the children of Palestine, or would it have been recorded as one of the heroic actions by Hamas?

3 – The head quarters of Hamas (at least the Military wing) is underneath the major hospital of Gaza, knowing that the Israeli Air Force will never bomb the hospital. This is a known fact; however the Western Press fails to write about it.

The Hamas is using the phrase: "we are doing nothing, but those Israeli cowards are kicking back". But facts are not important, a Super jet bombing tunnels with modern penetrating bombs is not proper Journalistic material, a Palestinian bleeding on the floor sells much better.

I wonder why the same pictures in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq never reach the Press, could it be that we are Jews.

I know, nobody besides my friends reads my blog posts, and my complaint about objectivity is not an item to publish, as everybody knows that it is not politically correct to agree with Israel, specially now, with the economy crisis caused by Jews.
