That was not fabricated at all.
In fact, even Al-Jihad news reported that Hamas were firing rockets and mortars into Israel.
In fact I can provide as many news agencies as you want all saying it is truth and not fabricated.

Firstly, I think Israel responded in a way that is appropriate for the violence being used against them. Force must be met with force after a ceasefire has been in place and been broken over a no of days by one party of the 3 parties involved (Hamas, Israel and Fatah)

Secondly, please note that Israel is not attacking Palestine - the West Bank being ruled by Fatah is not under attack - why because it has kept its truce.

Using "blanket" attacks is hardly justifiable and then go on worldwide tv that there were no civilian casualties.
It is obvious that Israel is using this blanket assault policy and calling it a right to defend themselves.

It would be different if the Hamas had airplanes, missiles and tanks and had launched this kind of attack against Israel. But that is not what happend. Hamas did launch primative rockets into Israel and did not even come close to causing casualites as this right to defend ourselves genocide has done. Now they are prepared to move in with tanks and ground assault teams.

It is outright genocide. If some want to call it retaliation to feel more comfy to the reality of whats happening, thats fine. But there are alot of us who clearly see what is happening, and it isnt simple right to defend themselves.

I have noticed lately that ATS is strongly anti-Jewish / anti-Israel, whatever you want to call it. Truth is that if you if you believe that Israel is "oppressing" the Palestinians, you only know half the story, and that is the Palestinian's version of things. They are masters of propaganda, which is perhaps their biggest weapon.
