At least 70 killed in Israeli strike on refugee camp in central Gaza, health ministry says
An Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in central Gaza has killed at least 70 people, Palestinian health officials have said as they warned the toll was likely to rise and the strikes that began hours before midnight continued into Christmas Day.
The fatalities at the Maghazi camp, east of Deir al-Balah, included at least 12 women and seven children, according to early hospital figures issued late on Sunday night.
Further down the page, they obviously let the temp from AIPAC loose for a couple of paragraphs:
Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both sworn to Israel’s destruction, are still believed to be holding more than 100 hostages from among 240 they captured during their 7 October rampage through Israeli towns, when they killed 1,139 people.
Since then, Israel has besieged the Gaza Strip and laid much of it to waste, with more than 20,400 people confirmed killed, according to authorities in Hamas-ruled Gaza, and thousands more are believed dead under the rubble. Tens of thousands more have been wounded.
The usual risible collection of propaganda tricks; "they killed 1,139 people" but when it comes to the victims of Israel it's "more than 20,400 people confirmed killed". They somehow manage to make the people who have murdered at least (at the very least) 20,000 mostly civilians sound like the victims.
Also the "Israeli towns" is a nice sleight. Dodges all that illegal settlement/international law stuff....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
I suppose one has to see the time and energy our rulers and their loyal media are forced to put into their propaganda effort in the service of Israel, defending and massaging the atrocities and mass killing, the rampant mass destruction; as a sign of weakness, not strength.
I heard, as an example, two journalist stooges on the BBC yesterday, they both agreed that the UK government was playing a clever game in relation to events in Gaza by standing back and being 'nuetral'! I had to laugh. Nuetral? Really? All those weapons moving through Cyprus?
Listening to those two ignorant and stupid women, I felt rather gratified that I didn't choose to go down their career route towards the villa of the braindead.
Isn’t it amazing that the only safe place in Gaza, now, is underground?
