Magic Mirrors and Media Bias: The Gaza Aid Flotilla.

When one honestly reviews the history of 'modern' Gaza one realizes that there is more hype than fact in the portrayal of what goes on there. I have written enough predictive material over the last few years that has come true as to know that the current Media B.S. and World Political Hand wringing over the recent debacle is nothing more than 'racism in disguise'. In all fairness it is probably just absolutely mind numbing fear of Muslim terrorism that is disguising itself as Racism, but here today I list for you some things to consider when your heart next bleeds for those poor defenceless 'peaceniks' who were so mercilessly attacked by the Iraeli storm troopers.

1. Honest Reporting Canada have released video and commentary in relation to the alleged 'peace activists' who were attacked by Israeli commandos when they intercepted the Gaza Flotilla. In some of the latest video footage released by the IDF, it is clear that the Israeli naval commandos were certainly unprepared for the violence they encountered, including being attacked with live fire.

  • Peace Activism or Military Preparations?
  • Since when do "peace activists" have access to sophisticated night vision equipment, rifle scopes and bullet proof vests? These photos taken by the IDF of items found on board the Mavi Marnara would indicate that the portrayal of non-violent humanitarians interested only in distributing aid to Gaza is thoroughly inaccurate.
  • In addition, large quantities of cash were found on board ready to be transferred to Hamas upon landing in Gaza. The Turkish IHH organization responsible for the Mavi Marnara is an open supporter of Hamas and has been implicated in the recruitment and funding of Islamic terrorism, including al-Qaeda.
  • Check this Honest Reporting Link for videos, photos and more information.

2. Israeli PM defends deadly raid

  • The Turkish vessel was the largest of the six vessels in the aid convoy and it was here that the deadly clashes took place. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at the international condemnation of the operation. Since the activists had refused offers from both Israel and Egypt to deliver the aid to Gaza once it had been inspected, they had been left with no choice but to board the vessels, the prime minister said. Israel's forces had met violent resistance only on the Mavi Marmara, he added. "They were stabbed, they were clubbed, they were fired upon... "This was not a love boat. This was a hate boat. These weren't pacifists. These weren't peace activists. These were violent supporters of terrorism."

4. Caroline B. Glick (senior Middle East Fellow at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC):

  • The reality is simple and stark. Israel is the target of a massive information war that is unprecedented in scale and scope. This war is being waged primarily by a massive consortium of the international Left and the Arab and Islamic worlds. The staggering scale of the forces aligned against Israel is demonstrated by two things. The Hamas abetting Free Gaza website published a list of some 222 organizations that endorsed the terror-supporting flotilla. The listed organizations hail from the four corners of the earth. They include Jewish anti-Israel groups as well as Christian, Islamic and non-religious anti-Israel groups. It is hard to think of any cause other than Israel-bashing that could unite such disparate forces. The second indicator of the scope of the war against Israel is far more devastating than the list of groups that endorsed the pro-Hamas flotilla. That indicator is the fact that at the UN on Friday, 189 governments of 189 countries came together as one to savage Israel. There is no other issue that commands such unanimity.

5. Truth versus Ideology

  • When Political, or for that matter, Religious Ideology takes precedence over the lives and well being of citizens, how can such an ideology be said to be worthwhile? When 'Victims' must lie to maintain their victim status, how can we truly call them victims? When we prefer ideology to truth, how then can we call ourselves enlightened humanitarians? When we look down on people in communist countries for blindly believing what they are told, when we ourselves will not believe anything that does not suit our ideology, how can we consider ourselves superior? Everyone is entitled to an opinion and an ideology; but not at the expense of the truth!

6. Photos of Poverty in Gaza

7. Flexible Lies 21st Century Truth

  • what could one expect from a committee created by the ineptly titled UN Human Rights Council, which is dominated by rogue regimes like Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Cuba and Liberia? Some of the leaders of the member-states would qualify as candidates for prosecution as war criminals. The council's principal common denominator remains an obsessive hatred of Israel, which they condemn more frequently than all the other 191 member-states combined. [Isi Leibler]

8. Signposts on the Path of Islamic Anger - in Bold type.

Israeli ship raid sparks world anger

  • "Murderer Israel, go away from Palestine!", "Long live the global intifada", the mourners chanted, shouting also "Long live Hamas" in reference to the Palestinian movement controlling Gaza.

    In Malaysia, some 5000 people including opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim rallied outside the US embassy where the Israeli flag was burned in protest over the flotilla raid. Protesters from both the ruling party and the opposition alliance yelled slogans and waved banners after marching from a Kuala Lumpur mosque, virtually closing down the main thoroughfare where the embassy is located. Some demonstrators burned the Israeli flag while others brandished posters that said "Destroy America, Destroy Israel - Long Live Islam" and "Allah will destroy you Israel".

9. Ideological Self Deception

My personal belief is that when Journalists withhold the truth and write so as to incite readers to anger and violence, then they should be punished under the so called 'hate speech laws'. Other than that, they should just be shot as the dogs they are!

I wrote a long time ago that 'peace' is not the agenda of the Palestinian leadership. The sooner the western press accept that the better off we all will be. If they can't accept it, then at least they should be reporting the actual facts and not play the 'dog' to the Islamic propaganda machine.

People of Palestine Arise! Wake Up!

  • Statehood and Peace have never been the agenda of Palestine.  The agenda has been hatred toward Israel, and the people of Palestine have been the fodder! The problem has never been religion either.... But let us not continue believing the political propaganda that tells you that that your current sufferings are because the Israelis are so terrible.  The Israelis sicken of war! They want peace! It is only the Leadership of Palestine that does not want peace. They refuse every offer of peace. Your spilled blood, your casualties and your dead bodies, are so valuable to the political cause, that peace is the last thing that your leadership wants.

The Suffering of the Palestinian People: Whose Fault?

  • Ari Shavit, writing for Haaretz on March 15,2006 wrote: In September 2000, the Palestinians began a terror offensive against Israel. They did this because they refused to accept the Camp David proposal, which promised them the entire Gaza Strip and 91 percent of the West Bank in exchange for full recognition of Israel and an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If Ehud Olmert is elected prime minister and implements his convergence plan, then in September 2010 the Palestinians will have sovereignty over the entire Gaza Strip and some 91 percent of the West Bank, and all this without recognizing Israel and without ending the conflict.

A Cry for Justice: The Totalitarian Media May 2006

  • Everyone in the west purports to be in opposition to totalitarian regimes. How often we hear complaints about communist countries. How often we hear about human rights abuses in such places. How often we hear about the lack of a 'free press'.  How often we hear complaints about how totalitarian regimes brainwash their people. And yet, the West today is subject to exactly the same process via Western Media. In the three brief aticles recorded below, there appears for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, a cry for justice. That appeal is not made to a country, but to an evil machine that poses as a free press. In fact today, the Western press while free, is not honest or fair.  It follows a political agenda hell bent on destroying Israel.

The Trojan Horse Hamas: Believing Lies : Disbelieving the Truth!

  • In February of 2006 I wrote an article entitled: "Hamas, Israel's Trojan Horse", which was inspired by peace overtures made by Hamas to Israel, and the essence of which was that there is no such thing as a Palestinian Peace Treaty with Israel. I made my point quite clear, that what Hamas were saying was a 'Crock' - total BS. During the last 15 months the world has persisted in holding to it's ideological blinkers, preferring to believe in what the idiot Political Correctness followers and mentally deficient intelligentsia claim to be, an achievable peace between Israel and Palestine. Despite what we constantly see and constantly hear uttered by the Palestinian representatives, Western idiots never cease to deceive themselves into believing that they are hearing and seeing something other than what is actually taking place in front of their eyes.

For 7 years I've lived in China and have come to see westerners from a non-western perspective. They are Pampered, spoiled, rich bleeding hearts who care nothing for truth. They care only to have their troubled guilt ridden souls massaged and soothed with the balm of ideology, so that they can feel good. God help them when they discover the evil faces of the true masters behind those ideologies.
