The killing and spinning continues apace: Turkey’s president has attacked what he called “Israeli terrorism” after the Gaza office for the Turkish state-run news agency was destroyed during the latest round of hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants. “We strongly condemn Israel’s attack against Anadolu agency’s office in Gaza,” Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Twitter. “Turkey and Anadolu agency will continue to tell the world about Israeli terrorism and atrocities in Gaza and other parts of Palestine despite such attacks.” I wonder when the usual suspects will be decrying this attack on journalism...I won't hold my breath. The Israel Defense Forces said it had bombed a building in Gaza City containing Hamas military intelligence and general security offices. Even if true, is that supposed to excuse this? During the weekend, more than 430 rockets had been fired out of Gaza, which Israel said it responded to with 200 air and tank strikes. One Israeli civilian and six Palestinians, including two militants, had been killed, officials on both sides said. Always the (ever increasing number) of rockets first: not the murder of more protesters that started this particular cycle. 200 "air and tank strikes" into a mostly civilian area in response to 430 fireworks; seems proportionate. And once again, the blatant, linguistic bias: "one Israeli civilian and six Palestinians, including two militants" instead of "Four Palestinian civilians and one Israel civilian have been killed along with two militants". The dead in Gaza included a pregnant mother and her 14-month-old daughter, medics said, in the most recent of violent exchanges that have erupted on a near-monthly basis for the past year. Israel denied on Sunday that its forces had killed the mother and infant, saying they were hit by accidental militant fire. Of course, not us guv. We're just air and tank striking one of the most densely populated areas in the world but when we kill mothers and babies it's "accidental militant fire". The parade of wankers that signed that "Resist the Eurovision Boycott" must be proud this morning. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2019/may/05/turkey-condemns-israeli-terrorism-for-bombing-news-agency-in-gaza
