Why do they hate the West so much, we will ask
A child injured in the Israeli bombardment of a UN school yesterday
A child injured in the Israeli bombardment of a UN school yesterday is taken to Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
Again, Israel puts Palestinians in the hell.Forty dead in the United Nation school, three more in another schools.But why we are surprised?
Have we forgotten the 1,700 Palestinian dead in the Sabra-Chatila massacre; the 1996 Qana massacre of 106 Lebanese, more than half of them children.
Israel claims it is fighting our war against "international terror". The Israelis claim they are fighting in Gaza for us, for our Western ideals, for our security, for our safety.
I've reported the excuses the Israeli army has served up in the past for these outrages, here are some of them: that ultimately the Palestinians are to blame because they supported an armed faction, that the Palestinians killed their own refugees.
When Israel was blamed, Menachem Begin's government accused the world of a blood libel. After Israeli artillery had fired shells into the UN base at Qana in 1996, the Israelis claimed that Hezbollah gunmen were also sheltering in the base. It was a lie. Israel claimed the bodies of children killed in a second Qana massacre may have been taken from a graveyard. It was another lie.
Yes, Israelis deserve security. Twenty Israelis dead in 10 years around Gaza is a grim figure indeed. But 600 Palestinians dead in just over a week, thousands over the years since 1948.
