My Take on the Israeli Response in Gaza

This was on my Facebook status at 11:51pm on 10.1.09. The status came from this site, as I have ‘donated’ my Facebook status to be updated by it every few hours:

In 2007 – 2008, Hamas fired 4681 rockets & mortars into Israel.

4681 rockets and mortars. Without the knowledge of that, I am not surprised most would have considered the Israeli attacks to be an unwarranted and excessive use of force. After all, the world media has been one-sided in presenting all of the facts to the public.

Thus, Israeli responses have been called many things – from genocide to state-sponsored terrorism etc. The very things that would remind you of the Nazi Germany. Oh, the irony that the Jews, once oppressed, are now the oppressors! * ptui *

But what about these rockets and mortars that are fired almost daily at Israel? It’s not like the fireworks you see during National Day, you know?

A lot of people no longer takes the entire picture into its proper perspective now because of the propaganda on the mass media. So, these are some of the things I’ll like to share with you before you make your judgement:

So, Israel had enough. And so had I, with the gross hypocrisy of the mass media.

Shalom Aleichem.
