prevent independent journalistic access to Gaza – it will do so until there is
a ceasefire and even then, if Israel remains in control of the territory, I am
not sure we will be allowed in.<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-right: 132.0pt;"><i><span style="color: #2a3c42; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't think the Israeli forces
are worried about whether we are safe in there or not – I think there are
things they don't want us to see and that they want to master the media
battlefield. So they are fighting on all fronts and controlling the media is
one of them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-right: 132.0pt;"><i><span style="color: #2a3c42; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you look at Israeli TV, it is
focused 24/7 on Gaza of course. But what you don’t see is Palestinian
suffering. You see troops, the home front, constant reminders of what happened
on 7 October. You see the pain of the hostage families.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-right: 132.0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span style="color: #2a3c42; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">What you do not see are stories
of individual Palestinians, nor the colossal scale of the damage going on in
Gaza.</span></i><span style="color: #2a3c42; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

this down.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

borders with Gaza are shut. Period.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Foreign
journalists were previously able to enter the Gaza Strip through the Erez
Crossing, which has been closed since October 7 after Hamas destroyed it..
There is no “business as usual” for passage between Israel and Gaza for
anyone, including journalists.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
international media do, however, have the ability to attempt to enter Gaza
through the Rafah Crossing on the Egyptian side.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But Bowen believes that Israel
is preventing foreign media from entering because “there are things they
don’t want us to see and that they want to master the media battlefield.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
</ol>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">”It is arguably not to Israel’s benefit that foreign journalists
are not in Gaza. Because Palestinian stringers and agenda-driven Arab outlets
such as Al Jazeera are currently the only ones supplying all of the coverage
from inside the Strip.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<ol start="5" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="a">
<li style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Despite
a steady flow of damaging footage from Gaza showing injured women and
children while suspiciously never showing Hamas terrorists, Bowen still
believes Israel is “controlling the media.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
</ol>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But is Israel also controlling its domestic media in the cause
of ensuring its people don’t see any Palestinian suffering? Israel’s government
may wish it had some semblance of control over the country’s newspapers and TV
stations but the reality is that Israeli media is fiercely independent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Israel is a country still traumatized by those events and for
Bowen to expect Israeli media to be broadcasting the same sympathetic content
on Gaza as his own BBC or other foreign media is both unrealistic and meant to
portray Israelis as somehow immune to the suffering of ordinary Palestinians.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">How dare Bowen make such a judgment. Israelis are still
processing and trying to come to terms with October 7 and the resulting impact
on the country. Israeli TV news is now broadcasting footage of the funerals of
Israeli soldiers, many of whom were reservists who left their families and day
jobs to defend their country. Many may have lost their lives because the IDF
has used ground troops rather than airstrikes precisely to avoid causing
Palestinian civilian casualties.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jeremy Bowen is correct: there is a media battlefield. Israel
has every right to fight on that battlefield especially when foreign
journalists like himself weaponize their news reports to assault the Jewish
state.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

correct all along about Hamas’s nefarious mode of operation began to pile up
soon after the IDF began its offensive.
For years Israel has said that Hamas conducts its ongoing campaign of
terrorism against Israel from within civilian sites in Gaza: homes, businesses,
schools, refugee facilities… and hospitals.
And it had always been dismissed by the international community as
paranoia or disinformation.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

Hamas that forced Israel to declare war against the terrorist government of
Gaza was launched with the declaration that Israel, once and for all, was going
to do something about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The evidence

R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari revealed an underground Hamas command center under Gaza’s
Rantisi Hospital that contained not only suicide vests, rocket-propelled
grenades, and a variety of weapons, but also signs, such as baby bottles, that
Hamas had held Israeli hostages there. He also noted that an IDF robot found
additional terror tunnels, which were powered by electricity being siphoned off
from the hospital for use by the terrorists underground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 132.0pt; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">That prompted US National Security Adviser
Jake Sullivan to tell CNN, “You can see even from open source reporting that
Hamas does use hospitals, along with a lot of other civilian facilities, for
command-and-control, for storing weapons, for housing its fighters. Without
getting into this specific hospital or that specific claim, this is Hamas’
track record, both historically and in this conflict.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

Shifa Hospital, long asserted to be the location of a Hamas headquarters. On
Wednesday, the IDF brought The Jerusalem Post and other selected media outlets
to view Hamas’s terror infrastructure, including its several-hundred-meter-long
tunnel network.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

on his eyewitness visit that next to the Qatar facility within the Shifa
complex was a vast amount not only of Hamas guns and grenades – which the IDF
found hidden throughout the hospital – but also rocket-propelled grenade
launchers, large and small advanced drones for delivering explosives, and a
variety of sophisticated intelligence platforms.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

“used the hospital as a refuge for its terrorist forces and even brought
Israeli hostages there who were kidnapped during the day of slaughter. A
pathology report confirmed that soldier Noa Marciano was murdered on the
grounds of Shifa Hospital.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The IDF and

more it is discovering about Hamas’s web of evil and its cynical use of

actions. The world should be coming
together to back Israel’s actions and encourage it to continue its efforts to
uproot the terror that has held Gaza captive for close to two decades.</span></b></span></p>

wounded when the total number of hospital beds in all medical facilities
in Gaza, including UNRWA clinics, did not exceed 3,000. So, where exactly
are all the 30,000 wounded? According to PMH reports, there are already
more than 13,000 Palestinians dead. If that casualty number is accurate,
where were they buried?<o:p></o:p></span></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FEFEFE; color: #0a0a0a; margin-right: 145.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in left 958.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Titillium Web"; font-size: 14.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></b></li>

manipulations, we offer an alternative analysis to help determine an
objective measure of casualties in Gaza. It starts from a number of dead
and wounded which is about half of the number reported by Hamas, although
it is possible, and even with high certainty, to assume an even lower
number.<o:p></o:p></span></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FEFEFE; color: #0a0a0a; margin-right: 145.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in left 958.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Titillium Web"; font-size: 14.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></b></li>

probably Hamas members, whether armed terrorists, whose identity is
disguised as civilians by Hamas, or members of the Hamas establishment. A
significant number of the “children” reported as killed or wounded are
young people aged 13-18, who were in Hamas facilities or even took an
active part in the fighting. (Israeli Minister Ron Dermer, in an interview
with <i>Sky News,</i> reported 3,000 Hamas members killed.)<o:p></o:p></span></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FEFEFE; color: #0a0a0a; margin-right: 145.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in left 958.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Titillium Web"; font-size: 14.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></b></li>

Palestinian dead and injured resulting from nearly 1,000 failed rocket
launches that landed short must be subtracted, such as the one that fell
on the al-Ahali hospital. From the remainder one must subtract all the
Palestinians who fled northern Gaza for the safe zone in the south and who
were killed by Hamas.</span></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FEFEFE; color: #0a0a0a; margin-right: 145.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in left 958.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Titillium Web"; font-size: 14.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></b></li>

unarmed civilians who were regretfully and unintentionally killed by IDF
attacks. But compared to every other war in the last hundred years, the
collateral damage caused by IDF is low compared to other Western military
campaigns, particularly by the UK or U.S. military.<o:p></o:p></span></b></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FEFEFE; color: #0a0a0a; margin-right: 145.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in left 958.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: "Titillium Web"; font-size: 14.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></b></li>

the result of Israel’s strict adherence to the international laws of war
and the utmost efforts made by the IDF to convince the Gaza civilian
population to evacuate battle zones while opening humanitarian corridors
and securing safe civilian passage.<o:p></o:p></span></b></li>

Strip, like every institution in Gaza, is tightly controlled and operated by
Hamas. The PMH reports several times daily the number of Palestinian casualties
resulting from the Hamas-Israel fighting in Gaza, currently in its fifth week.
To be sure, the PMH reports on Palestinian casualties with attribution
exclusively to IDF strikes. Reports of Hamas fighters’ casualties are
noticeably absent from Hamas Ministry of Health reporting. In fact, PMH reports
omit both Hamas combatants’ deaths and injuries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

assault on southern Israel. These marauders were equal-opportunity killers,
kidnappers, and abusers. Their bloody frenzy targeted everyone in their
path—babies, Thai workers, Israeli Arabs, Bedouins, the elderly, special needs
children, and, of course, Israeli Jews. They particularly relished targeting
women—slaughtering them, raping them, cutting babies out of pregnant women’s
wombs, torturing mothers and grandmothers in front of their families—and, many
fear, sexually enslaving some of the hostages. The world witnessed these
perversions because the villains proudly filmed them, then inspired
Palestinians and pro-Palestinian progressives to spread them across social
media. This secondary, digital, GoPro assault on the victims’ dignity made this
orgy of misogyny one of the bloodiest and most publicized attacks on women in
history.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nevertheless, more than three weeks
later, the feminist community remains silent. In May 2021, within days of
Israel counterattacking in self-defense against yet another Hamas bombardment,
over 120 gender studies departments denounced the Jewish state. Declaring that
“justice is indivisible,” they proclaimed that our work is “committed to an
inclusive feminist vision,” as per the National Women’s Studies Association’s
2015 Solidarity Statement, “that contests violations of civil rights and
international human rights law.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Now, despite seeing Hamas’ rape
cult, not one gender studies department has defended even one victimized woman.
Feminists have long taught us to believe the accuser and not blame the victim.
For years, progressives insisted, in academic papers, on T-shirts, even on
coffee mugs, that when fighting oppression, “silence is consent,” or even that
“silence is violence.” On Oct. 7, the violated women shouted, shrieked, cried,
begged, rape after rape, cut after cut, fighting off these assaults with their
voices and their bare hands as best each could. Some hostages may still be
struggling. By contrast, violating every feminist principle I’ve ever read and
respected, today’s feminist movement is violently, silently, consenting to this
mass crime against women and against the victims from three-dozen different
countries. Some even doubt the testimonials—and the staggering, bloody,
heartbreaking evidence of stripped women paraded through Gaza’s streets.
Robbing someone of their story is a secondary offense—but nevertheless
inexcusable.</span></p>

I’ve ever read and respected, today’s feminist movement is violently, silently,
consenting to this mass crime against women.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Beyond the sheer cruelty and unfathomable scale of suffering, these
crimes devastated so many people, Jews and non-Jews alike, who recognized the
barbarians’ perverted pedigree.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In
singling out women, those guilty of this gendered violence want to dehumanize
doubly. They seek to strip Jewish women of their dignity by abusing them in
unspeakable ways. And they try humiliating Jewish men, treating them as so
helpless they cannot even defend their women and children.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">After three weeks of hearing how
this sadistic saturnalia “exhilarated” too many progressives, those justifiably
appalled by these enablers of evil are now being told the worst abuses never
happened. Once again, the hypocrisy is stunning. Feminists teach that denying
sexual assault intensifies the trauma, erasing the victim’s personhood yet
again. Nevertheless, some feminists are questioning the stories—perhaps because
they don’t want to question their blind support for the Palestinian cause. They
want to deny the vile photos and videos, the reports from IDF officials,
pathologists and volunteers at the overworked morgues, or testimonies from
captured Hamas criminals describing “having sex with dead bodies, meaning the
body of a dead young woman,” because the goal was “to dirty them, to rape
them.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That few feminists, especially
gender studies professors, have denounced this familiar yet deplorable evil
exposes a darkness deep in their soul. It is part of a broader scandal in
higher education some are now, belatedly, starting to recognize. Call it fruits
from the poisoned Ivies. For years, America’s most elite universities have been
cultivating a generation of grievance junkies—dividing the world into “the
oppressed,” who are forever blameless, and “the oppressors,” who are forever
guilty. Since Oct. 7, these fanatics have emerged as Ivy League jihadis,
leveraging the Palestinian brand as the world’s most oppressed and blameless
people suffering from the evils of Zionist colonialism, to silence condemnation
of inhumane butchery.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The feminist blindness to these
crimes is particularly outrageous given gender studies’ stated commitment to
eradicating rape culture, with its silence, its skepticism, its victim-shaming,
and its victim-blaming. But this violation also points to a deeper, endemic
scandal the feminist movement has suppressed, namely, many radical feminists’
instinctive aversion to Jewish women and Jewish issues.</span></p>

Gaza used to enter Israel every day until the slaughter. They did so for months
and months. They worked in the communities of the Gaza border, in Sderot, and
in Ofakim, and some of them took detailed notes about their destinations: how
many houses there were, where the living rooms, the bedrooms, and the security
rooms were, how many family members lived in each house, whether they had a
dog, where their cars were parked. They documented everything. And all of it
went to Hamas. It was part of the infrastructure of the pogrom – the
contribution of the "uninvolved" to the atrocity.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

that they weren't the ones who did it. It was the residents of Gaza, he said.

from the Strip went in and clashed with the settlers. As a result, people were

thousands in the army's count – took part in "marches of return"
along the fence over the years, lobbing charges and firebombs onto our side,
launching incendiary balloons and setting our fields afire. Their hearts
seethed with hatred and entertained a dream – to return to Ashkelon, Lod, Acre,
and Ashdod, and to replace us. Today, one hopes, many more of us believe them.
Our true friend in the White House, Joe Biden, still remains unconvinced, but
at some point, he'll figure it out, too. The Palestinians have creative ways of
explaining it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

danced like dervishes around the trucks that hauled away the abducted children,
the old men and women, and the young men and women, crying "death to the
Jews" and helping Hamas to place them in hiding. The "uninvolved"
helped Hamas to move its rockets to concealment. "Uninvolved" mothers
proclaimed that they were proud to send their children into battle in order to
turn them into shahids (martyrs). And "uninvolved" teachers taught
the children of Gaza that it's a religious obligation to kill Jews. Hundreds of
thousands of "uninvolved" Gazans took part in the funerals of the
arch-murderers whom Israel eliminated over the years. For those who really want

vote cast their ballots for the Hamas terror organization, whose charter calls
for the annihilation of the Jews and the State of Israel, and gave it eighteen
of the twenty-four seats that were up for direct election in the Strip. When it
was done, Hamas won 43% of the votes as against 33% for Fatah. Hamas also won
in eastern Jerusalem and performed handsomely in Nablus, Hebron, and elsewhere.
In a departure from the norm, these were sound democratic elections. Some 250
European Union observers confirmed it. They accurately reflected the
preferences of the residents of Gaza and Judea-Samaria. Admittedly, seventeen
years have passed since then but Hamas' strength in Gaza, and in Judea-Samaria
as well, has not only held up but has grown.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

and the same – in elections, in their hearts, in their actions, and in their
assistance. Many of them knew about the war preparations, furthered them, and
kept them secret. The IDF is a moral army. It will not line up a civilian
population in the crosshairs of its rifles, tanks, artillery, and aircraft, but
if this population unintentionally comes to harm, heaven forbid, it's worth our
while to know exactly whom we're dealing with.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the same time he was making his morally uncompromising statement, a mob of

fireworks and banging drums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similar

to understand just what was happening at these demonstrations. They weren’t
just protests against Israel or supporting the Palestinians. They were frenzies

excitement that more Jews would now be killed and Israel would be
exterminated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These shocking scenes, and

Palestinian cause is ingrained throughout the Western liberal world. As a

has been on display once again in the media coverage of these events.
Newspapers have been reporting “horrific” casualty figures “on both sides”; the
BBC and other outlets announced on Monday morning that the death toll was
1,100, similarly equating the Israeli victims of mass murder with those killed
in the attempt to prevent any more such attacks.</span></b></p>

bankrupt moral equivalence is “progressive” orthodoxy. Ostensibly aimed at
equality for all values, it enables certain "approved" criminals to
evade responsibility for their crimes by representing them as victims alongside
those they have attacked. The inevitable consequence is that their victims are
represented as attackers.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 136.5pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thus
a BBC headline read “Israel launches airstrikes on Gaza Strip… after
Palestinian gunmen infiltrate its territory”, repeating the BBC’s habitual
inversion of aggression and response. The extreme nature of the atrocity was
instantly downgraded and its horror was blunted.</span></b></p>

also gives rise to the claim that Israel’s response is “disproportionate” if
its forces kill “too many” Palestinians. But a proportionate response never
involves a comparison of the numbers killed. It is rather a response that’s
proportionate to the threat of further killing.</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In a
phone call with the Tazpit Press Service from the rural Moroccan village of
Askouen, Hatzalah’s director of French operations, Samuel Arrouas, said, “Now
we’re treating people who, for example… can’t get the medicines they need.”</span></span></b></p>

least 3,000 people have died since a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco on
Sept. 8. The quake, whose epicenter was near Marrakech, devastated rural
villages where thousands of homes collapsed, trapping people in the rubble.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Within
24 hours, a Hatzalah delegation was on the ground, involved in search and

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Arrouas
said the delegation has been traveling around rural Morocco, setting up a field
clinic in small communities and treating people. Locations were chosen in
consultation with local community leaders.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“We’re
seeing people who didn’t have a lot, [and] who lost everything,” said Arrouas.
“People with diabetes or high blood pressure who lost their medicine. People
who broke a leg and now it’s infected, or they’re dehydrated. We’re treating on
average 150-200 people a day.”</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Arrouas
said that when there’s free time, the volunteers spend time with Moroccan
children, drawing pictures, passing out balloons and distributing toys.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“It’s
like they’ve never seen toys in rural areas,” said Arrouas. “Most of the kids
don’t go to school. They start working at a young age, and now they’ve lost
their parents, and Israelis are passing out bread and playing with them.”</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He
told TPS about one eight-year-old boy who received a piece of candy from
another humanitarian delegation and shared the treat with the Israelis “as a

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
aid work also meant spending Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in the Atlas
Mountains, away from families back in Israel. But saving lives “comes before
everything,” Arrouas stressed.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Asked
how the situation compares to other disaster areas he’s worked in, Arrouas said
Morocco’s earthquake was “different” from the quake in February that killed
more than 67,000 people in Turkey and Syria.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“In
Turkey, buildings were higher and people were buried in the rubble for a long
time,” he said. “Here, the buildings aren’t as solid, but it was easier to get
people out because the homes were simpler.”</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 150.0pt;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Israel

is no time to lose. The State of Israel must set itself a clear goal: To become
one of the three leading artificial intelligence (AI) powers in the world by
2030,” wrote former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in a Twitter post stressing
the significance of AI and the important role Israeli high-tech should play in
its development.</span></span></b></p>

world is racing forward with technology that is going to change reality as we
know it. Artificial intelligence technology is advancing at an exponential rate
all over the world, and it marks the biggest revolution of our generation,”
wrote Bennett. </span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-right: 168.0pt;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Many of us have experienced a first taste using ChatGPT that

noted that in his recent travels around the world, AI is the main issue
preoccupying companies and world leaders. “Everyone understands that whoever
misses the revolution will remain irrelevant, like a horse-drawn carriage
driver in the era of cars,” explained Bennett.</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-right: 168.0pt;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> “Artificial intelligence is

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-right: 168.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Bennett
went on to break down the influence he believes AI will have on a variety of
sectors and added some personal insights. “Education will change completely as
a student will be able to learn and progress at a pace and in a way that
matches their abilities, inclinations, and interests,” wrote Bennett. </span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-right: 168.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">“The role
of teachers will change dramatically, and it is still difficult to predict how.

noted how AI tools will be able to replace a significant part of the work of
lawyers and that in the near future judges will use AI to help them make
decisions.</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-right: 168.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">In
regards to the security sector, Bennett said: “Every army in the world should
now adopt technologies that could replace sending soldiers to the front.
Suppose there is an enemy-saturated village. Before you send troops in, maybe
send dozens of drones, small robots, and mini-vehicles to roam the village,
study it, then attack. If we don't do it, our enemies will.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

concluded by saying that the Israeli government must immediately define
leadership in the field of artificial intelligence as a central goal for the
State of Israel. “It is likely that the U.S. and China will be the global
leaders because they have the resources to do so, and also because both have
already marked it as an urgent national goal. For them, it is somewhat similar
to the nuclear race in the 1940s and 1950s.</span></span></b></p>

opposed to the dictatorial regime in their home country confronted a group of
Eritreans celebrating the African country’s independence. The confrontation
quickly turned into a full-blown rampage, with members of both the
pro-government and opposition camps attacking each other with pieces of lumber,

Iron Dome, which was first developed in Israel but was expanded significantly
with US funding, has been in operational use for over a decade in Israel,
principally against short-range rockets fired from the Gaza Strip, but also
along the Lebanese and Syrian borders. It currently represents the lowest tier
of the country’s multi-leveled air defense array, joined by the mid-range
David’s Sling, and the long-range Arrow missile systems.</span></b></span></p>

Lockheed-Martin’s F-35 combat aircraft came about because the company was able
to overcome a series of pivotal glitches. This was achieved by Lockheed-Martin,
as well as by the Israeli Air Force and aerospace industries (especially the
innovative Israel Aerospace Industries — IAI). This is why Israel is sometimes
known as a cost-effective laboratory of the US defense and aerospace industries
and armed forces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>

manufacturer and the US Air Force, sustaining the F-35 superiority over its
global competition; sparing Lockheed-Martin mega-billions of dollars in

people with disabilities stems from a profound personal experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After an illustrious IDF career, Attia

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The connection drawn between
relations with the Saudis and concessions to the Palestinians, mentioned
in the last few days’ editions of the Post, is extremely disturbing as it
concerns one of the most basic reasons for the continuing war between Israel
and the Palestinians. i.e. the so-called “OCCUPATION”, as explained below.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This has probably been one of the
most successful and powerful propaganda stories put out over the past 70 years
or so, arousing the most serious and widespread anti- Israel and antisemitic
feelngs worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The actual fact of the matter is
that the true status of Judea and Samaria, according to its factual recent
hisfory, is that it was internationally established legally as Israeli
territory, was occupied by Jordan in 1948 in an attempt to destroy Israel, and
recaptured by Israel in 1967 when the surrounding Arab countries again tried to
annihilate Israel.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Israel then refrained from annexing
the area (called “the West Bank”) but was prepared to negotiate its status in
the framework of an overall peace agreement, which status applies until today.
Israel has meanwhile tried to give the Palestinians the opportunity to develop
independently in parts of the “West Bank”, but they have failed in this
endeavor, using their energies to fight each other and attempting to murder
Jews and Israelis.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Palestinians never owned any
country or part thereof, and the concept of “occupation” by Israel in this
regard is a total fabrication since they’ve never owned anything that could be
occupied.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The entire phenomenon of
Palestinians waging war on Israel with every means available, including rockets
into residential areas, continual horrific terrorist murders of Jews or
Israelis, the spreading of lies in every country, and their Covenant calling
for the annihilation of Israel, rests on one assumption only ― the lie, which
they have taken to believing themselves, that Israel occupies their land. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The aggressive behavior of
the Palestinians has proved conclusively that Israel daren’t allow an
independent Palestinian entity on the West bank highlands overlooking the
Israeli central coastal plain, which would place it under threat of
destruction.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 152.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And America claims that
Israel must make serious concessions to the Palestinians so as to encourage the
Saudis to improve ties with Israel?. Surely it’s the Palestinians who must make
huge concessions to Israel?</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Much of the West believes the
antisemitic lie that the Jews are responsible for their own destruction.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">(JNS) Among the media’s customary
Israel-bashers, reporting on Israel’s military operation this week against
terrorist enclaves in the city of Jenin was predictably atrocious.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Jenin had become a hub of deadly
terrorism, responsible for the murder of 31 Israelis in 2022 and 24 so far this
year.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Almost half the inhabitants of
Jenin belong to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). In 2023, more than 50
shooting attacks emanated from Jenin. Recently, two rockets were launched from
there towards Israel.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">During the two-day operation, the
IDF uncovered bomb-making laboratories, a homemade rocket launcher, explosives,
weapons and military gear.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Yet The New York Times saluted
Palestinian terrorism as “an ethos of defiance” and described Jenin admiringly
as having “a long legacy as a bastion of armed struggle.”</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Other media outlets misrepresented
Israel’s response to murderous terrorism as wanton aggression. They did so
through systematic decontextualization, having largely ignored the growing toll
of Israeli terrorist victims and the attacks that Israeli security forces
thwart almost daily.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The day after the launch of the IDF
operation, a car-ramming and stabbing attack took place in Tel Aviv in which at
least nine people were injured and a pregnant woman lost her baby.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The usual suspects in the media
instantly misrepresented this as an all-too predictable “revenge” attack in a
dismal cycle of violence. But there is no “cycle of violence.” There are
unending attempts to murder Israelis and there is the Israeli attempt to deter
further attacks.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Moreover, there is a fundamental
difference between the Palestinians’ deliberate attempts to murder Israeli
civilians and the enormous care the IDF takes to avoid civilian deaths.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The IDF reported that all 12 of the
Palestinians killed in the Jenin operation were combatants. In such a densely
populated area, where terrorist caches and operation rooms are deliberately
situated next to schools and hospitals, causing no civilian deaths in such an
intense raid was an extraordinary achievement.</span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Not only was this given no credit
by the media, but the entire event was framed in the most distorted and
malevolent way. The leading offender in this—and the most important on account
of its unique global reach and reputation for trustworthiness—was the BBC</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">.</span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 156.9pt;"></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">VIEW OUR WEBSITE </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://WWW.BRITISHISRAELGROUP.WEEBLY.COM"><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">WWW.BRITISHISRAELGROUP.WEEBLY.COM</span></b></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></span><p></p>BIG Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06854054844661553191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217383935363686517.post-5375788679660957212023-07-25T22:57:00.000-07:002023-07-25T22:57:01.010-07:00Forsaking the Material Legacy of our Forebears<p> <b><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Video Of The Week </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">- Nikki Haley blasts Biden and Democrats on Israel - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/tb5k4ttk">https://tinyurl.com/tb5k4ttk</a></span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>

area, such as the paving of pirate roadways or illegal mining operations,
causes the unintentional destruction of rare and indescribably important

causes intentional and irrevocable damage to archaeological sites in Judea and

Arab leadership figures in Judea and Samaria to erase or culturally appropriate
the history and archaeology of the Nation and Land of Israel fuel and intensify
this cultural cleansing. After all, a rich archaeological record and abundant
historical texts are the most conspicuous and potent testaments to the
falsehood of Arab narratives concerning Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.</b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </b></span></p>

critical aspect of the global campaign waged by many against Israel’s
legitimacy and its very right to exist. The farcical proclamations made by

historical fact regarding anything to do with Israel, is one illustration of
this campaign.</span></b></span></p>

non-existent except in archaeological and academic circles, and even then, it

so subtle support for the destruction and cultural appropriation of historic

be null and void. As such, the IAA should be empowered and have its mandate
expanded in Judea and Samaria.</span></b></span></p>

readers to the “new generation in the Palestinian armed resistance,”
including teenage “fighter” Harbosh whose face, Philp observes, is “pockmarked
by acne” as he is interviewed from his hospital bed recalling “how close
he came to martyrdom” during the IDF’s recent <a href="https://honestreporting.com/israels-counter-terrorism-raid-in-jenin-more-media-mess-ups/"><span style="color: #c4003d;">counterterrorism raid in Jenin</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

goes on to claim the group consists “overwhelmingly” of members aged between 16

few jobs, their only heroes martyrs whose images blanket the camp’s alleys.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

the whole piece is replete with language that serves to glorify and justify
Palestinian terrorism, from Philp’s quoting the uncle of one Jenin Battalion

is the usual fashion when it comes to Amnesty, the 1,300-word denunciation of
Israel exercising its legally-sanctioned right to defend itself is replete with
hyperbole, distortions and outright lies — the latter demonstrated in Amnesty

the piece, ‘Amnesty: Possible war crimes in recent Israel-Gaza fighting,’ the
BBC’s Middle East desk correspondent David Gritten quotes at length Amnesty’s
repeated claim that Israeli strikes to take out Islamic Jihad commanders were
excessive, as well as the NGO’s malicious assertion that the risk to civilians
in Gaza was “likely disregarded” by those in Israel who “planned and authorised
the attacks.”</span></b></p>

Amnesty may have convinced most journalists that it is an unimpeachable source
of information, the BBC should really have examined the organization’s sad and
sorry history of getting things wrong or letting its ideologically-driven
leanings interfere in conflicts that it apparently knows very little about.</span></b></p>

example, Amnesty was widely criticized last year when it released a report that
accused the Ukrainian military of endangering civilians by “establishing bases
and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in
schools and hospitals” — apparently forgetting that Ukraine was forced to
position soldiers in urban areas to avoid being completely overrun by invading
Russian troops and to protect those very Ukrainian civilians in the path of
Russia’s military.</span></b></p>

when Islamist terrorists plant rockets inside and underneath civilian centers

the most worrying aspect of the article is Gritten’s abject failure to probe
the veracity of Amnesty’s allegations, as any serious journalist should.</span></b></p>

days of fighting, is complete and utter fiction. As HonestReporting has
repeatedly pointed out, Operation Shield and Arrow was launched in response to
a barrage of rocket fire from the Strip after Islamic Jihad terrorist Khader
Adnan eventually died in an Israeli prison following a protracted hunger strike
in a bid to secure his release.</span></b></p>

also appears to go to great lengths to clean up Islamic Jihad’s image,
particularly by not bothering to mention that the group is an
internationally-recognized terrorist organization that has been proscribed by
pretty much the entire Western world, including the United Kingdom where the
BBC is based.</span></b></p>

Gritten even prominently features the group’s “spokesman” Tariq Salmi saying
Islamic Jihad welcomed Amnesty’s report, which “proves that the occupation
[Israel] was the one that began the aggression by committing grave crimes.”
This, while not mentioning the fact that the group’s sworn goal is the
annihilation of the Jewish state using “the Jihad solution and the martyrdom
style as the only choice for liberation.”</span></b></p>
