She praised the brave military of the IDF and then said your welcome for the Iron Dome System.

It was really good. There is probably a tweet or youtube of it up already.

"Preparing the ground for the big Iranian operation"

www.haaretz.com...

Many people have been tempted to link the Gaza operation and the upcoming election. Even though war is sometimes a way to avoid dealing with domestic problems, the smoke that reached the Gaza sky this week wasn't connected to the Israeli election. Instead, one could view the attack on Gaza as part of a new plan, a master plan that turns its eyes east to Iran's nuclear program.

Yeah.... they probably said that to counter this news:

BBC Monitoring says Hamas' Al-Quds TV has confirmed that "the occupation forces have broken into the station's transmission in several locations in the Gaza Strip and broadcast hostile messages against the Palestinian people".

There seems to be a ton of tit-for-tat propaganda going on.

I dont think so. Not yet anyhow.

besides, the programming suck big time. It needs to be changed.

Al Quds TV

Interesting article in the Guardian explaining that the responsibility for this is not solely at the feet of Hamas...

most western media have echoed Israel's claim that its assault is in retaliation for Hamas rocket attacks; the BBC speaks wearisomely of a conflict of "ancient hatreds".

In fact, an examination of the sequence of events over the last month shows that Israel played the decisive role in the military escalation: from its attack on a Khartoum arms factory reportedly supplying arms to Hamas and the killing of 15 Palestinian fighters in late October, to the shooting of a mentally disabled Palestinian in early November, the killing of a 13 year-old in an Israeli incursion and, crucially, the assassination of the Hamas commander Ahmed Jabari last Wednesday during negotiations over a temporary truce.

My guess is that transmissions on the same frequency are going out over the airwaves over Gaza. They hit the transmitters and then broadcast their own message on the frequencies.

I think they just boot the door in then go inside and jack into the system with a lappy. Hit play and let the fun begin. Neilson ratings go way down when this happens though. Oh well, cant have it all.

No cease fire yet..

This thread allows opinions, just no hate. Its impossible to watch this and not take a side.

That like watching a bully kick a downed opponent in the head repeatedly and stand there saying nobody take a side, just report the number of kicks.

Now. don't respond with your opinion because its "not allowed".

nvm

I agree with you, but if you want to debate the rights and wrongs of Israel or Hamas there are plenty of other threads to get into the same back and forth (which is endless and helps no one, by the way).

This thread is for the reporting of news and updates on the conflict. Go elsewhere to voice your opinions on the Israeli regime or Hamas.

There seems to be a ton of tit-for-tat propaganda going on.

Maybe this has been mentioned already, but the BBC is being accused of pushing propaganda and has video footage of faked injuries, faked deaths, pictures of dead children from Syria, etc. Even reports of a BBC reporter's child being killed. Not saying the reporter's child wasn't really killed, but have to wonder why his home may have been targeted when his first name is Jihad.

MASSIVE AIRSTRIKES OMFG!!!! RT OUT RT OUT

HUGE explosions VERY close on RT.
