Top 5 Lies about Israel's Assault on Gaza


Israel’s violation of the cease-fire predictably resulted in retaliation from militants in Gaza who fired rockets into Israel in response. The increased barrage of rocket fire at the end of December is being used as justification for the continued Israeli bombardment, but is a direct response to the Israeli attacks, notes Jeremy Hammond.


Lie #1: Israel is only targeting legitimate military sites and is seeking to protect innocent lives. Israel never targets civilians.

The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime.

Interesting top 5 run down of Israeli propaganda. All of these items can be checked on the internet newspapers.

Israeli activity on the run up to this slaughter included; over thirty Hamas party officials were assassinated during the cease fire,

Palestinian land was being sequestered by settlers during the cease fire,

death zones around Gaza were implemented with automated firing systems,

Tzippi Livni and Olmert were conducting intensive shuttle diplomacy all over the world soliciting support for the bombardment of Gaza from various dictators and Western leaders.

The demise of the Gaza population was decided up on over six months ago. Hamas rockets was an excuse.

So then if this vesion is the real truth, why does Egypt not let them (Palestinians) into their country? Why do the Arab nations allow these people to be sequestered into this area? If these are refugees, where is their original homeland, why can't they be absorbed into the Arab countries???? Just curious

Israel was they're original land.

They had all of the land in Palestine for hundreds of years. It is not abnormal for territories to discriminate other territories. However, Palestinians have been in that area for a long time.

When Israel moved in, they forced Palestinians into a small area, which now borders egypt directly. Before Israel acquisitions of land, Palestinians had more land to scatter about.

Guess it's time to give the Indians back their land. Guess we can just give each Indian left their own state.

You know, I get kind of tired of who owns what land arguments. Nobody owns any land. It's not ours to own. Ownership is nothing more than an agreement between men, of which no agreement here has ever really been reached, only power and submission to it.

Except israel has insisted on taking more than they were given through the UN even to this day...ie illegal which should result in sanctions,those illegal nukes should equal sanctions and they should also be cut off from trade with the EU a large contributor to israel economically..but alas,its israel..they are above international law i suppose being America's little leech and all.I really dont understand this...israeli jedi mind tricks i guess.

Well said, star for you.
It is funny how so many are very selective with the application of their sense of fairness.

The only way to gain land is to be stronger than the opposition. Once your time is up, it's time to give up your land, either through submission or annihilation. That's the way it's always been.

Top 5 Lies about Israel's Assault on Gaza

While we're on the subject of lies, and evidently you've been posting a lot of them non-stop for a week solid, how about addressing the questions below, once addressed to someone with the same agenda as you.



MF

----

1. Are you aware that the Disputed Territories never belonged to the “Palestinians” and only came into Israeli possession as a result of the 1967 six day war in which Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon all massed forces at Israel’s border in order to “push the Jews into the sea”. The Arabs lost and Israel took control of the land. Do you agree that if the Koran-imals don’t want to lose territory to Israel, then they shouldn’t start wars? Do you agree that there is justice that Israel, who as far back as 1948 has always sought peace with her far larger neighbors, should live in prosperity - making the desert bloom - while the residents of 19 adjacent Arab countries who are blessed with far more land as well as oil wealth live in their own feces?

2. Did you know that the “Palestinians” could have had their own country as far back as 1948 had they accepted the UN sponsored partition plan which gave Israel AND the Palestinians a countries of their own on land which Jews had lived on for thousands of years before Mohammed ever had a wet dream about virgins? The Arabs rejected the UN offer and went to war with the infant Israeli nation. The Arabs lost and have been whining about it ever since. Do you agree this is like a murderer who kills his parents and asks for special treatment since he is now an orphan?

3. Can you tell us ANY Arab country which offers Jews the right to be citizens, vote, own property, businesses, be a part of the government or have ANY of the rights which Israeli Arabs enjoy? Any Arab country which gives those rights to Christians? How about to other Arabs? Wouldn’t you just LOVE to be a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, or Syria?

4. Since as many Jews (approximately 850,000) were kicked out of Arab countries as were Arabs who left present day Israel (despite being literally begged to stay), why should Arabs be permitted to return to Israel if Jews aren’t allowed to set foot in Arab countries? Can you explain why Arabs can worship freely in Israel but Jews would certainly be hung from street lamps after having their intestines devoured by an Arab mob if they so much as entered an Arab country?

5. Israel resettled and absorbed all of the Jews from Arab countries who wished to become Israelis. Why haven’t any Arab countries offered to resettle Arabs who were displaced from Israel, leaving them to rot for 60 years in squalid refugee camps? And why are those refugee camps still there? Could it be that the billions of dollars that the UNWRA has sent there goes to terrorist groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, El Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, or Hezbollah? How did Yassir Arafat achieve his $300 million in wealth? Why aren’t these funds distributed for humanitarian use?

6. Did you know that the Arabs in the disputed territories (conquered by Israel in the 1967 war which was started by Arabs) and who are not Israelis already have two countries right now? And that they are called Egypt and Jordan?

7. If your complaint is about the security fence which Israel is finally building in the Disputed Territories, are you aware that it is built solely to keep the “brave” Arab terrorists out so that they can no longer self detonate on busses, in dining halls or pizzerias and kill Jewish grandmothers and schoolchildren? Why are the Arabs so brave when they target unarmed civilians but even when they outnumber their opponents they get their sandy asses kicked all the way to Mecca when they are faced with Jewish soldiers? Why do Arab soldiers make the French look like super heroes?

8. Please explain why you are so concerned about Arabs, who possess 99% of the land in this region and are in control of the world’s greatest natural resource, which literally flows out of the ground? Can’t their brother muslims offer some of the surplus land and nature’s riches to the “Palestinians”? Or is it true that Arabs are willing to die right down to the last “Palestinian”?

9. Why do you not exhibit the same level of concern for say, people in Saudi Arabia who are beheaded, subject to amputation, stoning, honor killing etc.? What about women who are denied any semblance of basic civil rights, including the right not to be treated as property for the entertainment and abuse of her father, brothers, or husbands? What about the Muslims in Sudan and Egypt who are still enslaved, or the women there whose genitalia are barbarically cut off? How about the oppression of Shiites by Sunnis, the gassing of the Kurds by Iraq, or the massacre of “Palestinians” by Jordan (Black September)? Why doesn’t this concern you?

10. Did you ever stop to wonder how much better off everyone in the region would be if Arabs stopped trying to kill Jews and destroy Israel? What would happen if the Israelis gave up their weapons and disarmed? Would they live to see the next day? But what would happen if the Arabs completely disarmed? You know the answer: They would all be AT PEACE! And if there is no war to rile them up, the Arabs would be forced to look at their own repressive, pre-medieval societies. Why would they want to do that when there are Jews to kill?

11. Have you heard “People who define themselves primarily by what they hate, rather than who they love, are doomed to failure and misery”? Can you see the parallels to the Arabs, who are blessed with land and oil, but still gladly train their children to kill themselves in order to kill Jews? Have you heard Golda Meir’s words to the effect of “There will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours”? Why do the Arabs hate so much?

You know what? If the natives ever took there land back by force I'd honestly think they deserved it. You say America should "give", whe isreal "took". I think there is no problem people taking what they think is theirs (within reason...liiike, say if you lived there before e.g.). The fact is, the natives can't, so they don't try to.

If this is the case the Israeli's have no right to shove the Pals out of Israel.

WHY is there yet another thread on this?

Thread after stink'n thread. And they all say the same damn thing.
And all the same people spout the same rhetoric.
And when countered with facts - the rhetoric spouters don't listen.

WHY DO WE HAVE DOZENS and DOZENS of these threads?

:shk:

Because the election is over and 2012 won't be here for a few more years. This is how we do things. We take up sides and make thread after thread after thread after thread about it.....

Because they want something to complain about. I don't know. They're bored?

Israel will wake up one day and realize, it is its own worst enemy. Israel’s use of a stacked deck ( i.e. cheating ) when playing with the lives of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, will someday come back to haunt them. The timeless laws of creation hold sway. Willful participants in the act of wholesale genocide inevitably become fettered to an incurred karmic debt. Anyone, who in their heart supports / participates in cold blooded murder, is sooner or later, up for serious cosmic payback.

I personaly blame masonwatcher or the tinfoil templar as someone called him the other day. (if you find that offensive mason let me know and ill take it down)

Pretty much the same reason no one in the USA as suggested the solution to illigal immigration is to give Texas back.

Egypt have said if they let women and children leave every time isreal attacks then soon the area is empty and isreal has won, they, like the whole arab world, don't like the idea of a unified isreal because the way they see it when isreal is safe it has no reason not to attack them.
