The toll in today’s Gaza riots
(according to the Hamas) currently stands at around 55 Arabs dead (amongst
whom, say the Israelis, are at least ten Hamas terrorists); that toll may well
rise with further riots threatened tomorrow and the day after.
The people who caused these deaths
are the Hamas themselves. But the people at whose door these dead Arabs should
also be laid are the BBC and those in the rest of the British and other media
who have acted their part in the script the Hamas has written: to cause as many
Gazans to lose their lives as possible, the younger the better, so that the
western media will portray Israel as wanton and disproportionate killers.
The media has duly obliged by
calling what’s been happening at Gaza’s border with Israel, today and
previously, “unarmed” demonstrations or “protests against the US embassy move”.
It was nothing of the kind. As I wrote here yesterday,
by the Hamas’s own lights this is an attempt by tens of thousands of Arabs to
storm the border in order to invade and destroy Israel.
If they do break through, no-one can
be in the slightest doubt that they will massacre the Israelis. In the words of
the Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar: “Tear their hearts out”. This is not a
metaphor.
Facebook pages affiliated with Hamas
are uploading maps that show the proximity of the riots to Israeli communities.
“There’s no other way to understand these pictures than as a threat against
these communities,” says the
IDF spokesman, Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis.
That’s why Israel has built
extraordinary defences to protect its most vulnerable citizens who live close
to the border. And it is a lie to say, as the media continue falsely to report,
that this great mob is unarmed. They are using petrol bombs, IEDs, flaming
kites.
Their tactics have been described by
Israel’s security service, the Shin Bet. Captured Gazans have told them that
Hamas has warned its members to stay away from the security fence during the
riots lest they get shot, while actively encouraging Palestinian civilians —
particularly children and teens — to approach the border. “There is a
prohibition for Hamas operatives to approach the border from a fear that they
will be killed or captured by IDF troops, unless the security fence falls; and
then they must enter, armed, into Israel under the cover of the masses and
carry out terror attacks”.
And surprise surprise, Iran (which
has been funding and training Hamas for some time) is behind this:
“From the information we have, it appears
Hamas is encouraging and sending protesters to the border fence in order to
carry out violent acts and damage security infrastructure. In addition, it was
found that Iran is providing funding to Hamas in order for it to carry out
these violent activities along the Gaza Strip’s border fence,” the Shin Bet
said.
For the media to portray this as a
protest – moreover an unarmed protest – is to perpetrate a lie that is beyond
wicked. Those 55 dead Arabs, and however many more will be sacrificed tomorrow
and the next day as cannon fodder on the basis that the western media will
report this as “unarmed protest”, are therefore being killed for the
BBC and other media who have been dutifully playing their role in this
infernal propaganda charade.
The British government is scarcely
any better with its morally obtuse behaviour. “We are concerned by the reports
of violence and loss of life in Gaza’, said a spokesman. “We urge calm and
restraint to avoid actions destructive to peace efforts”.
Oh really. When did the British
government voice its concern at the threatened invasion of Israel and slaughter
of its citizens? I must have missed it. The British government has a moral duty
not only to support Israel against this invasion but also to tell the British
people the truth about what is happening and why Israel is being forced to take
such action. It has not done so.
Instead, Mrs May’s government
continues to help the Arabs weaponise the issue of Jerusalem – and therefore
delegitimise Israel’s existence – by refusing to accept today’s game-changing
US embassy move to Jerusalem; and furthermore is opposing and undermining the
US-led attempt to neutralise the Iranian regime that daily threatens Israel
with genocide.
Now also we can see the profound
antisemitism of Amnesty International and others. Amnesty tweeted today:
“We are witnessing an abhorrent violation of international law and human rights
in Gaza… This must end immediately”.
What Amnesty means is that Israel’s
self-defence must end immediately. We must therefore conclude that Amnesty
would be unmoved by the inevitable consequence: the invasion of Israel and
slaughter of Israelis. For Amnesty, it seems, Jewish lives don’t matter.
And that goes for everyone else
demanding that Israel now desists from doing what every other country on earth
would do if facing a potential mob of 250,000 invaders bent on conquest and
mass murder: defending itself as best it can.
Not a word of condemnation of the
Hamas for attempting a violent invasion. Instead, Amnesty screams that Israel
is breaking international law. Israel is breaking no law by defending itself.
It is Hamas which is guilty of multiple war crimes in using unarmed Arab
civilians as cannon fodder behind whom it hides its weapons.
An estimated 40,000 Arabs took apart
in today’s riots. It’s being claimed that Israel killed a disproportionate
number. All deaths are to be regretted, especially of the young who are being
so cynically used; but 55 dead out of an attack force of 40,000? That’s a
disproportionate number, all right: disproportionately low.
But here’s the really revolting
thing about the west’s Israel-bashers. What really gets them is that no Jews
have been killed today. They think it’s outrageous that 55 Arabs were killed
and not one Israeli. So just how many Jews need to be killed in order to even
up this debauched notion of equivalent worth?
Jews have died in their millions
over the centuries at the hands of those who simply hate Jews. Hamas are the
latest manifestation of this evil. But in Israel, the Jewish people now has the
means to defend itself; and it goes to enormous lengths to guard every life
because so many have been lost.
Yet these Israel-bashers complain
that this is somehow not cricket, that the Jews need to die – because it’s not
fair that they are killing their would-be killers instead. So they portray the
Jews as the killers and their genocidal Arab attackers as their victims. Just
how disgusting is this?
At times like this we can see how
these parts of the west are signing their own death warrant. Well guess what –
in Israel, the Jewish people said “never again”. This is what that looks like.
Very well said. Thank you
