I have been active on Twitter since Israel’s War on Gaza’s unprotected population started. Some of the Hasbara there has been shocking. One of the cards the parrots play repeatedly is the “Qassam threat” card. This is shocking if you know what a Qassam “rocket” looks like and you also know what a tank, or an Apache gunship, or an F16 fighter jet looks like.
Simply, for the IDF to assault a defenceless people, murdering its children after starving the country through an act of war (blockade) for the last couple of years is a matter that should leave our so-called “leaders” hanging themselves from Tower Bridge. But they won’t. The ruling elites are like that. Shameless, evil and disgusting.
Some visual perspective on the Qssams is in order.
(Yes, that really is a Qassam. No they don’t come much bigger.)
In the last eight days, Israel’s Occupation Forces have killed more Palestinian children (at least 40, figures still rising by the hour) than Israelis killed by Qassam fire in the last eight years. Worse, Hamas, the legitimate, democratic voice of the people, has been held responsible for using children as human shields. I’d like to know where the hell you would run from the “precision” demonstrated by the following image.
For all the hyperbole about the Qassam threat and the “constant fear” that Israelis have to live under, the truth is that an Israeli is more likely to be struck by lightning than by a Qassam. Outside Sderot and a couple of other towns, the chances of getting hit by one of these firecrackers is zero. In fact, in the USA, more people die from bee stings in a year (around 50) than the entire total of Israelis killed by Qassams or mortars in history.
The Hamas “threat” has been incredibly overplayed and the British media, traitors that they are, have played along. Then again, Israel is not the first country to use the fear of terror (over the reality of terror) as a political tool. Nor is it the most bloodthirsty. In fact, it would find it very hard to achieve any of its racist objectives without the backing of the USA.
Mainstream Media has been shockingly complicit in the murder of human beings in Gaza. Journalists have lost all integrity for the most part, though there are some notable exceptions. It is now utterly apparent to me that the media and governments are completely beholden to a Zionist agenda and answer to Zionist interests only. How they have managed to portray this assault on an utterly defenceless and besieged people as some kind of balanced military conflict is beyond my comprehension.
I urge you to compare and contrast the effects of the “precision” of Israel’s “discriminate targeting” with the “indiscriminate” and “destructive terror” of the Qassams at this link.
