There is nothing more nauseating than watching Palestinian Muslims in the Palestinian Authority and in Hamas occupied Gaza celebrate as rockets are being fired toward Israel from the Gaza Strip. The same Palestinians took to their roofs and joyously celebrated when America was attacked on 9/11 by Saudi Arabian Muslim terrorists.
Pallywood: child killed by Hamas displayed as victim of Israel |
Almost predictably, the Hamas terrorist regime in Gaza is winning international sympathy as a result of its manipulation of the international media with alleged civilian deaths; many caused by its own misfired rockets. Pallywood is the name given to the Palestinian version of Hollywood make believe.
Other watchdog sites have exposed the fact that the boy died after one of Hamas’ own rockets misfired and exploded in Gaza. The IDF also stated that there was no military activity in the area where the boy died. And the head of Hamas and the visiting Egyptian prime minister both knew it was a macabre stunt to demonize Israel and a wonderful propaganda gift to bamboozle the ever gullible international media.
For instance, CNN reported a heart-wrenching story on the death but did not correct its report after the pretense was discovered.
Hamas uses private homes, hospitals and schools to store its weapons and place its missile launching sites. This cowardly tactic leaves many terror targets free from retaliation. For instance, an Israeli pilot aborted his attack upon a deadly Iranian supplied Fajr missile because he saw children playing near the rocket. Later, that same missile was fired at Tel Aviv with the intention of killing Israeli civilians including children.
The Israeli attempt to explain Hamas’s strategy has had little effect on foreign media such as CNN, the BBC and The New York Times. The NY Times on Monday headlined that Israel was bombing civilian sites but later changed it to read “government offices.” These buildings are used by Hamas for terrorist activities and as command and control centers.
Foreign media has repeatedly called the counterterrorist operation “deadly” and “relentless,” only occasionally mentioning the enormous barrage of lethal missiles hitting Israeli civilians and without noting that the attacks on southern Israel have continued for many years with limited Israeli retaliation. Indeed the Jewish state has endured thousands of missiles raining down on its people and the world has remained deafeningly silent. Israel has turned the other cheek time after time when no other nation would have tolerated even one missile upon its people and land.
Hamas has repeatedly expressed its love of death, encouraging Gaza residents, including women and children, to carry out suicide bombings. The ancient Israelites were confronted with pagan tribes who worshipped the death god, Moloch, to whom the pagans sacrificed alive their children in fiery ovens. Today the Israelis are confronted with a Muslim enemy that also glorifies death and it too sends its children to be sacrificed alive.
