The war against the Jews (5)

Monday, 3rd March 2008


Alarmed about Gaza? Here’s worse. In the Washington Post, Michael Oren outlines the doomsday scenario keeping Israeli strategists up at night:

It begins with a single Qassam rocket, one of the thousands of homemade projectiles fired in recent years by the Islamic radicals of Hamas from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. The rockets have made life nightmarish for many Israelis but have largely missed their targets. But this one gets "lucky": It smashes into an elementary school, wounding 40 children and killing 15.

The Israeli government, which had heretofore responded to the Qassams with airstrikes and small ground raids, cannot resist the nationwide demand for action. Within hours, tens of thousands of Israeli troops and hundreds of tanks are rushing into Gaza, battling house-to-house in teeming refugee camps. Just as swiftly, Palestinian officials accuse Israel of perpetrating a massacre and invite the foreign press to photograph the corpse-strewn rubble. The images flash around the Middle East on al-Jazeera TV and trigger violent demonstrations in Arab capitals.

Hezbollah, the radical Lebanese Shiite militia, then gets into the act, raining Katyusha rockets on northern Israel. But when Israeli warplanes bomb the Katyusha batteries, Syria leaps in, sending its commandos to retaliate by capturing key Israeli bunkers atop the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel's counterattack succeeds only in precipitating a hailstorm of Syrian Scud-D missiles, some armed with chemical warheads, into Israeli cities. Then, just as Israeli planes are incinerating the main electrical plant in Damascus, the first of hundreds of Shehab-3 rockets, pre-targeted at Tel Aviv, lift off from Tehran.

Sound fantastical or too horrific to ponder? Not to Israeli intelligence analysts it doesn't.

 

This is why what is -- with such tragic inadequacy -- called the 'bias' of the western media against Israel is of such monumental importance. The manipulation of world opinion is a key strategic component of the Islamists' war against the Jews in particular and civilisation in general. That is why the western media -- with its structural animosity towards Israel and the key role it is playing in ensuring that such distortions and incitement trap Israel so that it is damned whatever move it makes -- must now be considered the Islamists' key strategic asset in that war.

By the way you should read the nauseating anti-Israel comments on the pro-Israel piece on CiF at the GuardianOnline. Somewhat backs up my last comment I think.

And all this time US forces in the Gulf and in Iraq doing what? Saying "Wow"?.. 6th Fleet is presently standing just in front of Beirut, for any eventuality. And how Syrians are supposed to storm Golan, from bottom up, straight on mine fields, without air cover? Fantasies. If Syrians and Iranians will dare to do something like this, one only can feel pity for them.

BBC casualty figures (in Israeli Gaza operation not over )correspond with Hamas and an Israeli human rights group:
It said of the 106 Palestinians it recorded as dying violently between Wednesday and Monday, at least 54 were not involved in hostilities and 25 of them were minors.

Unfortunately in a 576 word article they mentioned twice that Israel had killed over 100 Palestinians without saying how many were civilian...it is only in the last 54 words, a point to which most people probably don't read, does it mention that the civilians were not the only deaths...but it doesn't mention who those others might be.

Peter Thomas: I think this will get you there. http://tinyurl.com/ytkryp CiF = Comment is Free, the Guardian's blog. It's inhabited by Guardian-trained acolytes, many of whom feel it is blasphemous to even air views differing from the prevailing miasma at La Guardian. It's interesting that Hamas seems bent on destroying Ashkelon, the town supplying the bulk of its electricity. If they succeeded, the "humanitarian crisis" would deepen and elicit even more sympathy for them.

We are at war. Most people seem to be acting as if this were not so, none more so the the MSM.

We have a mortal enemy that desires the destruction of our states, the enslavement of our peoples, and the eradication of our society and our history.

We will never win the war until people realise that there really is a war to be won.

Our leaders must be willing to name the enemy, to expose the enemy tactics, and to resist them plainly at every opportunity, and with ever means.

But at the moment, our nations slumber under the soothing lullabies of the MSM: 'Hush now and rest, all is well...'

Osama: Yesterday on Sky News, one "journalist" with big patronising smile was more precise, he said "100 Palestinian civilians and 2 Israeli soldiers". Without blinking an eye.
I don't know exactly how, but my feeling is, we ordinary people will pay a price for this meanness, unfortunately.

Should the situation anticipated here come to pass (which I doubt since firm action will occur before then), then I wonder where the Hamas leadership will be controlling their side of the conflict from. I doubt that it will be from Gaza. Their camera fodder constituents will, of course, be nobly and honourably martyred up a gum tree with no-where to go except glorious Paradise (for men; who knows where the women end up?). But the Hamas mafia itself? Miles away. Manipulating it all bravely bravely from a secret hideout where they'll cower in gleeful safety whilst others shed blood for their remote triumphalist glory and Iranian plaudits. The Hamas ruling elite are the most gruesome menagerie of thugs I've seen. They incite the self destruction of their own voters: singly as suicide bombers; and collectively as civilian casualties and as economic victims of a failed, mendicant regime. They lie repeatedly to the world (whose journalists seem willing to swallow stories and versions of stories as told by Hamas crooks they wouldn't otherwise buy a second hand kitchen gas-stove from). They rule with a totalitarian and wholly intolerant rod of brutal islamism that breaches or contradicts all those finest western values that the often fooled western media (the Balenreportaphobic BBC) thinks its duty to uphold and defend. Democracy? A mere mechanism for gaining power and for justifying yet more aid? Free speech? What's that? Impartial justice? You must be joking: this is sharia here. Human rights? Excuse my mirth. Gay pride? Gay's are haram - we deal with them. Legitimate political opposition? Yes, if you don't mind the fatal drop from a high balcony. And so on. And we listen to these odious creeps. I don't wish conflict on anyone in that troubled region. I don't like war; suffering; bloodshed; torture; broken lives........... But Hamas is inviting all of this by its utter refusal to negotiate and to abandon its long term intention to destroy utterly the Jewish State. So be it. But if there's now peaceful way out of this, let's hope they're eliminated before they can take flight leaving everyone else behind.

Many at the BBC and other 'News' services are not strictly journalists any longer, they merely pass on information fed to them by Reuteurs or from 'reliable sources' as Orla Guerin called the helpful Palestinians at Jenin who told her about 3000 massacred Palestinians under the rubble (I believe she did say she hadn't confirmed it herself...but claimed her source was good...like Blair's Dossier no doubt).

Paxman in his famous speech, stated that money, time and resources meant that investigative journalism was no longer possible (even if the BBC was interested in truth),.

"In this press of events there often isn’t time to get out and find things out: you rely upon second-hand information-quotes from powerful vested interests, assessments from organisations which do the work we don’t have time for, even, god help us, press releases from public relations agencies. The consequence is that what follows isn’t analysis. It’s simply comment, because analysis takes time, and comment is free."

He thought that the people involved in rigging phone contests or the naming of TV cats should be prosecuted...no mention of journalists who incite terrorism, encourage Muslim radicalism or spread anti-Semitism.

"Let me say right now that some of the things of which we stand accused are contemptible. I can see no circumstances at all under which you can justify defrauding the public on a premium rate phone line. In fact, I can’t quite see why there aren’t grounds for prosecution."

There is a problem. Potentially, it is a very big problem. It has the capacity to change utterly what we do, and in the process to betray the people we ought to be serving. Once people start believing we’re playing fast and loose with them routinely, we’ve had it."

Guess you've had it.

Melanie, at some stage the US will intervene in your Israel-centric timeline and probably send cruise missiles curving into Iran and Syria. Like Israel,the US is the liberal's whipping-boy and, like Israel, the US doesn't really care. Also, the Western Media no longer amounts to a hill of beans: the yahoos are obsessed with Britney and the intelligent are rather more astute than, say, the Guardian assumes. Holdfast.

It seems to me that the doomsday scenario - alluded in this report, is already here. Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran are fully engaged in the war against Israel - and the Hamas proxy - is attempting to inflict exactly the kind of damage Oren is talking about. Nothing stops them from moving to the next level - at the time and place of their choosing. Israel enemies don't need a disaster to escalate their attacks - they will manufacture one, they have already manufactured one. I am surprised that Oren and Israeli planners are worried about hypothetical doomsday when they have a real "doomsday" Israel has lost any deterrent it might have had, and is just reacting (feebly) to Hamas initiatives. Israel - should come with a more original response to the rocket attacks. Restoring the blockade on the Egyptian border and pushing the border further south to gain a defensive depth may be options. Israel must figure out how to stop these rocket attacks at all costs.

YA, the Syrians cannot physically storm the Golan from the bottom up (which is what Israeli infantry and tanks did in 1967), because they are not at the bottom: they are further east along a plateau which at its western edge overlooks the Jordan valley.

Harvey - Hereford is a city not a county. Moreover, you could be expected to use inverted commas when quoting AnnaMae Gibson and also a full stop between "use" and "Rutland."

Some such scenario is indeed already likely. Before long though the Hamas militants and other even more extreme Jihadists may be able to bring Israeli cities to their knees with relatively modest weaponry, but maybe coupled with chemical or biological material. I'd be surprised if they haven;t already tried to deliver some sort of payload. The danger of escalation is now that we could - within a few years - quickly end up with a major nuclear exchange, with Israel - virtually wiped out - revenging itself on the Arab states, incinerating Mecca perhaps and on Iran with a major strike against a population centre. The environmental consequence would make Chernobyl look like an indoor firework. There are a number of conclusions I draw: 1. Now is not the time for Israel to try to keep its negotiating position secret. It needs to spell out in clear detail how far it can go. If it is not prepared to put Jerusalem in the basket then I am afraid they will only have themselves to blame for the negative consequences. 2. The democracies should provide full principled backing for Israel, stop funding Hamas and stop equating Israel, a civilised democracy, with Hamas, a terrorist outfit prepared to indoctrinate children in the ways of murder. 3. Dislodging Hamas from control of Gaza is now extremely important.

No Free person should ever abandon Israel, and all should remember what she suffers. For once, I agree with Austin Barry Melanie--hold fast. The USA won't let the land of Israel be destroyed, and thank God for that. Nor, for that matter, will the Republic of Israel. And she has friends....

Palestinians shoot dozens of Kasaam rockets into Israel every day for months and months. Finally, the Israelis get tired of this and open up some counter battery artillery on the rocket shooters, killing some of them. Since shooting off rockets into Israel is apparently some kind of Palestinian block party event, several “innocent” bystanders get killed. (How do you tell who the civilians are over there, when nobody wears a uniform and the whole bunch of them voted for a terrorist government which they all strongly believe in?)

Finding out that war is tough when the other guy actually bothers to shoot back, the Palestinians scream “genocide."

Palestinians take a detour on the “roadmap to peace” by suspending talks with Israel. They can talk all day when it’s just them keeping the fight going, but they get their noses in a twist when they get shot at. Go figure.

UN members wear out their Nikes running to Turtle Bay to crank out yet another angry Post-It note condemning Isreal for “unequal force” retaliation.

How many times can this story be repeated?

Meanwhile Jeremy Bowen, in his usual biased fashion, talks of an "asymmetric war"! Is there nothing that can be done about the anti-Israel propaganda that appears on the BBC website virtually day in, day out? And what perhaps too many of Israel's supporters overlook in this media onslaught that is proving so ominous for Israel and western civilisation is children's TV and internet sites aimed at children, not least the Beeb's own. I don't get a chance very often to look at children's news programmes on the Beeb, but whenever I have, I have been struck, more often than not, at the pro-Palestinian tone and content. Occasionally the bias is flagrant. Monitoring what the BBC puts out for consumption by young minds (both on the TV set and on the web) should be a serious priority for all who support Israel and western civilisation.

I wonder what role liberated Iraq might play in the nightmarish scenario depicted by Melanie? After all, and I'm surprised she hasn't commented on this, Ahmadinejad received kisses and jugs from both the Iraqi pm and president yesterday in Baghdad.

Melanie, thanks for having the nerve to say it. Lot of interesting comments about the Jew-baiting on the Guardian. I used to read the Guardian for amusement, but they actually do a great deal of evil, in that they stir up such unreasoned and argument-proof hatred among their readers, spawn and support a million conspiracy theories, and deliberately bias the news towards their "world view" to such an obvious degree, that I abandoned them to their ugliness.

could you write more about the 'structural animosity' of the western media? or link to where you explain what you mean?

To Harvey, I do apologise for the typo, but I honestly believe that most people might know what I was referring to. Thank you for the comment.

The tragic inadquacy is not the so called 'bias' of the West against Israel, It is this Israeli Propagandist's inability to criticise far right israeli policies that scupper peace and rovoke retaliation through illegal occupation, starvation and blockade. If Phillips wants to avoid a 'ar Against the Jews', then she should be persiading the Jews to bahave humanely in their own back yard. Remember Phillips, an Eye for an Eye.
