When a Palestinian civilian dies under disputed circumstances, the media (1) overwhelmingly blame Israel, and (2) ascribe a 'revenge motive' to any subsequent Palestinian terror.
"On Monday (1/31), 10-year-old Nuran Deab was struck by a bullet in southern Gaza and died shortly thereafter. The IDF immediately suggested the gunshots may have come from nearby Palestinians firing celebratory shots in the air. Further, Reuters stated that 'it did not appear that Israeli soldiers some 600 meters away could have seen into the [school] compound from their position behind high walls.'
"Despite this, many news agencies were quick to promote the Palestinian version of events, backed by the UN:
â—? Agence France-Presse, under the headline 'Palestinian schoolgirl shot dead by Israeli troops in Gaza,' prominently quoted the PA prime minister condemning it as 'a crime.' The Israeli denial of responsibility was buried at the very end of the AFP report.
â—? The Independent based its story on a UN official who directly accused the IDF of firing on Deab, then passed off IDF spokespersons who denied culpability as 'plainly embarrassed.'
â—? Knight Ridder-Tribune quoted both Ahmed Qurei decrying the shooting as an IDF 'war crime,' and a UN official condemning 'the Israeli military's indiscriminate firing into civilian areas.'
This lopsided version of events appears all the more ludicrous given the Jerusalem Post's report that PA police have now arrested a Palestinian man for the shooting."
Okay kiddies! Did you get taken in again by the PA media magicians? Did you jump in with your knee-jerk conclusion that this was more 'evidence' to justify the venom you already have in your hearts for Israel?
Oh, and how about this one? A Moslem cleric on PA TV has proclaimed from his pulpit that Israel and the USA were at fault for the Tsunami!
Yes, the largest loss of life from a natural disaster in the memory of anyone still living was CAUSED by the United States and Israel!!
You don't believe me?
Here are the words from a Jan 7th Sermon in the Palestinian Authority broadcast on State-TV.
Sheik Ibrahim Madiras Friday sermon, PA TV Jan. 7, 2005:
"The Muslim remembers, how the Jews corrupted the land...
Oh Muslims! The Jews are Jews. Their character and custom are the corruption and destruction of this land. We keep warning you: the Jews are a cancer that spreads inside the body of the Islamic and Arab nation.... They invest in the East Asian countries, which were destroyed [by the Tsunami] because of the Jewish and American corruption and destruction."
How to blame Israel for all the violence, all the suffering, and the Tsunami too
