Media and U.N. Bias Against Israel
After days of fighting with Hamas in Gaza, we shouldn’t be surprised that the mainstream media and the United Nations are primarily critical of Israel, almost entirely ignoring the terrorists who started this latest round in the ongoing Palestinian saga. The focus is entirely on civilian casualties, the latest coming from a school which received Israeli mortar fire after terrorists fired rockets from its grounds. The rub is that the school is run by the U.N., which is crying foul since,
…all U.N. facilities are clearly marked with flags and that the Israeli military has been given precise Global Positioning System coordinates.
Yes, but what response is expected from the Israeli military when its soldiers come under rocket fire? The real problem, apparent to any rational observer, is that the terrorists are trying once again to use civilians as a shield. They hide like cowards among women and children then protest when the return fire kills the innocents around them.
Israel has indicated that they will not agree to another ceasefire until there is an international agreement which will effectively end the Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza. Hopefully they’ll stick to their rhetoric this time. If not, we’ll just see the same scenario reenacted within a short time.
Once more the U.N. proves its worthlessness.
