Just in case you want to know what those “protesters” were doing: The AFP apparently caught a picture of the Palestinian who was killed after being hit by a tear gas canister during Friday’s “protest”. Check out the large chunks of concrete on the road in this picture. The Palestinians were trying to kill Israelis with them. Of course, the news reports make it seem like the soldiers deliberately aimed for this guy’s head. From a moving vehicle. With a teargas gun. Because those are known for their accuracy. The British press is all over an IDF officer’s tweets, making it seem like he was mocking the guy. And yet, nobody seems to notice the giant chunks of concrete all over the road. What, does it rain concrete in Israel now? This guy was trying to kill soldiers. Funny how that gets ignored.
This is what we in the Royal Navy call ‘a lie’: Ras al Gul, I mean Gul Dukat, I mean, Turkish President Abdullah Gul says that Israel should negotiate with Hamas. Why? Because–seriously–Hamas is “seeking peace.” Right. I think he means “piece,” and it should be the plural, pieces–of Israel. This is, by the way, the same Gul who refused to attend a luncheon in Austria because Ehud Barak would be there. Great example to set, you goddamned hypocrite.
Cue the heavy breathing by mainstream media: Israel is working to eliminate illegal immigration by Africans into Israel. The world media is going to have the vapors, of course.
