Hamas Spokesman: Our human-shield policy is effective against the Zionists.
Brian Whitaker, the Middle East editor for The Guardian newspaper at the time, wrote in a public email debate with Carmon in 2003, that his problem with MEMRI was that it "poses as a research institute when it's basically a propaganda operation".
Norman Finkelstein has described MEMRI as "a main arm of Israeli propaganda".In 2006, Finkelstein accused MEMRI of editing a television interview he gave in Lebanon in order to falsely impute that he was a Holocaust denier.
In Focus in 2007, he said MEMRI uses "the same sort of propaganda techniques as the Nazis" and "takethings out of context in order to do personal and political harm to people they don't like".[42]
Hamas has issued instructions to all people within Gaza using social media on how to misreport casualty numbers.
If anything the casualty figures have been underreported. Israel's destruction of Gaza infrastructure.. power plants.. and water treatment and hospital facilities that rely on them.. and its blockade of essential provisions means hundreds and thousands will die 'off the media grid'.. through disease, hunger, lack of medical treatment.
Israel has become an outlaw nation run by racist gangsters. No country survives on these principles.. God will turn against its criminality.. through a coalition of moral forces that always gathers in the face of rampant Evil.
'Israel' has nothing to do with Prophetic Biblical construct that would precede an era of divine justice and peace. It is 'Zion', the warlike assembly of Jewish Tribes in the thousand years preceding Christ.. that went through cycles of conquest and enslavement.
Yeah!!
Damn those gangsters for not letting Hamas kill them!! Awful!! Jews fighting back!! WHAT is the world coming to!!!
WTF do you expect Israel to do?????????
Right one Kathie.The jews make Hitler look almost like a schoolboy by comparison while the silence of churches is defening
Why a ceasefire now?
While the Israeli military has once again inflicted unspeakable death and destruction on Gaza, it did not achieve victory, as evidenced by the disarray today inside the Israeli political establishment over the announcement that Israel troops were being withdrawn. A military spokesperson announced that it had “achieved its objective” by destroying 32 military tunnels.
Extreme right wing politicians howled about “not finishing the job.” Typical was Uzi Landau, tourism minister from the Yisrael Beiteinu party, who said “the operation ended with no achievement that ensures quiet.”
The real objective – destroying the Palestinian resistance forces in Gaza – was clearly not achieved.
There were several factors that brought pressure on Israel to claim “success,” announce it was withdrawing its troops, and seek a ceasefire.
1) Failure to achieve military victory, significant army casualties killed and wounded, and the prospects of a protracted and debilitating campaign.
2) Intensifying clashes in the West Bank with at least 10 Palestinians killed and hundreds wounded in protests supporting Gaza. On Aug. 4, one Israeli was killed and soldier wounded in attacks in Jerusalem. The Israeli government feared that continuation of the assault on Gaza could lead to a new intifada or uprising in the West Bank, and possibly extending to the Palestinian population inside the 1948 borders of Israel.
3) Israel’s rapidly deepening international isolation, with many governments condemning the Gaza operation and withdrawing ambassadors, and a worldwide protest movement that brought millions of people into the streets of countries around the world.
4) Growing criticism by the U.S. government, Israel’s principal funder, armor and protector, of Israel’s blatant attacks on civilians. While the U.S. continued its political and military support – including an emergency re-supply of ammunition – the Obama administration was increasingly concerned about being so closely identified with the Israel’s terror campaign, and the prospect of new mass upheavals in the region. In an unusually strong criticism, on August 4 White House spokesperson Josh Earnest described the latest Israeli shelling of a UN school housing 3,000 refugees as “appalling” and “disgraceful,” labels usually reserved for enemy governments.“Terror carried out by a Terrorist State”.

Izrael bombed a bunch of innocent civilians and turned Gaza into rubble then asked for a ceasefire...
I expect them to dismantle settlements in the West Bank and cede control to a State of Palestine, duly recognized, with open borders to allow commerce to develop in Gaza and West Bank.
That is the ONLY path to peace... and Israel has NO intention of doing any of it. Which will ultimately put its own existence in imminent peril. It has managed to alienate the rest of the World by its arrogance and cruelty.
It has one narrow franchise left.. in the Political class of America (and their lapdogs like Harper), but without any passionate and reliable support amongst the broader electorate.
This has nothing to do with 'rockets'. Israel does not understand that the forces of history are coalescing against it. And those will spiral into a chaos that it will not be able to control.
