I try to keep this “G” rated, but when a talking head criticizes Israel for not having parity with dead and injured Hamas invaders, there IS only one reaction.
It’s not pretty. It’s not polite.
But there is no other succinct response.
I JUST WATCHED A “SKY NEWS” video on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/StandWithUs/videos/10155585464647689/) where a so-called “journalist” complained to an Israeli spokesperson “Where is proportion?”(-4:00 of the video). Hamas’ invaders are killed or injured but not Israelis. How rude.
To the obviously blind, prejudiced Sky talking head, Israel should kill and injure an equal number of Israeli soldiers to maintain “proportion.”
Since Hamas is sending children – one was a seven-year-old girl – to face the Israelis, perhaps the Sky employee would like the IDF to take a child out of first grade and put her in the line of fire for “proportionality.”
Not satisfied with that, the mental deficient asked if the Israeli– Netanyahu spokesman David Keyes – doesn’t think “that everybody in the process today are criminals?” (-3:11)
Did the Israelis attempt to invade Gaza behind women and children?
No.
Did the Israelis brings guns, knives, axes, and other weapons to the border to indiscriminately kill every Gazan or every Muslim or even every Arab in Gaza?
Again, no.
Then, in a ludicrous display of lack of historical knowledge, the guy with his head in the sky, tells Keyes that the Gazans simply were “protesting for their right of return.”
RIGHT OF RETURN?
Obviously the bigoted Brit failed to understand that these “protesters” WERE at home; Israel pulled out of Gaza in August, 2005, leaving behind a fully functioning export business which the Gazans quickly destroyed … along with a chance of prosperity.
The people of Gaza, primarily Egyptians, have no NEED of a “right of return”; they are in their own space.
As a matter of fact, Gaza in the 1948 UN partition, was NOT part of Israel. Israel took control of Gaza after Egypt lost it in an Arab-Israel war.
With his head firmly in the “sky,” the Brit ignored Keyes repeated references to Hamas’ publicly stated goal to kill all Israelis. (Presumably that means Israeli Muslims, Christians, Druze, and workers who are in Israel for jobs, not for philosophy: religious or political.)
To his credit, the Sky whatever his job, stuck to his anti-Israel screed and allowed Keyes to respond to the loaded questions and, for the most part, he did not interrupt Keyes.
The really sad thing is that the world is far too ready to believe what the Sky writers apparently believe: the poor Gazans just want “the right of return” and they were trying to exercise that right by sending women and children to taunt the Israelis into shooting them.
If the Gazans want a “right of return,” they should turn around and face Hamas’ guns and demand their freedom from oppression; they should demand that the millions of dollars used to build tunnels and to build or buy missiles to target Israel be used to restore Gaza’s infrastructure, to building electrical generating plants so the people can have power more than an hour or two a day; to develop water supply systems so everyone can drink their fill and bathe regularly. Imagine, instead of paying martyrs and filling the pockets of their despotic “leadership,” they could buy desalinization systems . . . from Israel.
If the Gazans insist on a “right of return,” since most are Egyptians, they should mass at the border with Egypt – not Israel.
THAT apparently skipped the anti-Israel minds at Sky.
The fact that Egypt keeps its border with Gaza tightly sealed also was ignored by Sky.
BY THE WAY, who dreamed up this “parity in war” thing. Is it something out of Star Trek or Star Wars where one combatant world sends a theoretical “bomb” to another combatant’s world and both agree that had the bomb been real “n” billion citizens would have perished. The “victims” are then rounded up by the rulers of the “bombed” world and executed; assuring that the “leaderships” survives another day as the war continues. THAT is the sense of “parity.” It is beneath contempt.
PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
