Een onbenullig detail in het licht van wat er gebeurt, maar de foto's die je via ma'an news linkt zijn niet te zien als je niet bent "ingelogd" op die site.

Ai, dat is nieuw. En ik heb heel veel van Ma'an overgenomen. Dank voor deze opmerking. Dit is - voor dit blog zeker geen onbenullig detail, helaas. Enfin, hierboven is de foto vervangen.
En wederom wordt bij de NOS en andere media gedaan alsof het twee gelijkwaardige partijen betreft gaat die met elkaar een oorlog uitvechten. Hierbij staat een luchtalarm in Tel Aviv gelijk aan het doodbombarderen van tientallen gazanen,walgelijk gewoon. Er waren rellen in Jerusalem, die tieners kwamen om in Hebron maar Gaza wordt gebombardeerd om "verdere escalatie te voorkomen"...Het is een wraakactie die israel zelf in een eerder stadium heeft aangekondigd , maar waarvan de legetimiteit ontbrak nadat de kolonisten o.a. die jongen levend hebben verbrand. Die escalatie in gaza heeft Netanyu zelf geensceneerd want hij kan doen en laten met gaza wat ie wil. Tevens moest het projectielenschild worden getest en dat doet het uitstekend, dat daarvoor deze kinderen om moesten komen is ze volledig worst, en veel kolonisten genieten zelfs van die beelden. Hoe de afgelopen dagen door israelis werd gereageerd werd is verder om te kotsen, Israel haalt het allerslechtse in joden naarboven en creert zelf een generatie van empathieloze barbaren.
Jack, je hebt volkomen gelijk. Je haalt me de woorden uit de mond.
