Gaza

Facebook Response (2011-1031)

Actually, I have spent some time considering who has been shooting the rockets into Israel. The popular opinion is that it is Hammas but something has been bothering me for a while now. Since they have allegedly been firing rockets from the Gaza strip into densely populated civilian areas, for over ten (10) years now (according to the Israeli government/military), I am at a loss to explain the relative low number of fatalities.

Additionally, if all these other countries are allegedly funding terrorists, and they allegedly all hate Israel then why are the rockets only fired at civilian targets and why are they all fired from Gaza (land that the Israeli government would love to acquire). I mean why not fire a few rockets from some other location at military or industrial sites if you really hate the Israelis.

And don't any of these countries have rockets that you can aim? With the low number of fatalities, it is almost as if they are designed to miss. I mean it's like Hammas is just another arm of the Israeli Mossad. It just seems like over and over again, when it is least advantageous to them and most advantageous to their alleged enemies, Hammas will allegedly pull some bonehead plot that benefits the Israeli government.

As for your statement that the Palestinian people lack nothing, I have found no evidence to support your claim. This is the second such statement you have made without a scintilla of evidence to back it up. The last time I believe you said the Palestinians had built a multi-million dollar shopping mall with aid money from America. (I am still awaiting evidence from you to support that claim.)

This is a good example of why I have been posting these articles. There is so much disinformation being propagated, I want to put out some hard data for people to research and attempt to verify. I'm not asking anyone to believe me. In fact to quote one of my teachers, "Don't believe a word that I say. Verify everything that I say." Unlike the Israeli government/military, I WELCOME scrutiny of my reports. According to Ezekiel 34, YHWH will be against the teachers in the End of Days so I publish this information with fear and trembling and will gladly retract and/or amend any statement I make that is in error.

According to the above posted article by Amnesty International (which you obviously haven't read) or the CIA's web page (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gz.html) the Palestinians are indeed an impoverished people. With all due respect I am compelled to lend more credence to these sources versus hearsay.

According to this report (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJVZeieHwwE) the author claims (3:28 into the program) that in the first month of the conflict, before there was any suicide bombings, before there were any roadside bombings, before there were any rocket attacks and before a single Israeli child had been tragically killed as a result of this conflict, there were over two dozen fatalities to Palestinian children at the hands of the Israelis. According to her report, the number one cause of death among these children was gunfire to the head from an Israeli. This was not reported in a Palestinian propaganda piece but rather in Haaretz, a respected and prestigious Israeli news source.

To use your analogy, what if the Canadians wanted to take over Detroit as part of their territory and shot your child in head, wouldn't this have a horrific impact on you?

In its early statements the Israeli military repeatedly denied using white phosphorus, saying "We categorically deny the use of white phosphorus", and "The IDF acts only in accordance with what is permitted by international law and does not use white phosphorus."

It eventually admitted its use and stopped using the shells, however, saying that a "media buzz" led to its decision to do so.

Interesting to note that they have such range coupled with such inability to aim.
The 'alleged' attacks seldom do much damage nor cause loss of life.
It is almost as if the Zionist Israeli government is behind the attacks. hmmm...

AISH Propaganda Email:

According to this article, the Palestians have been firing over a thousand rockets year! Seems that they could get weapons that do more tactical damage. Doesn't seem logical that this is a factual statement.
Do the Palestinians also have the right to live in peace and security in their land?
Why do the Jewish people feel they so rightfully deserve peace? What exactly have they done to so rightfully deserve anything? Do the Palestinians also so rightfully deserve peace?
Where is the support for the Palestinians living under Israeli fire?
