Re: Peace in Israel-Palestine
Firstly, spell propaganda correctly.
Secondly, civilians used as shields is Zionist propaganda. The same propaganda that was used to justify the bombing of the UN school during the recent attacks on Gaza. Why would Hamas need to use Palestinian death as propaganda? Doesn't it speak for itself?
Maxwell Gaylord, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Jerusalem - "The UN would like to clarify that the shelling and all of the fatalities took place outside and not inside the school."
There were militants firing from locations outside the school, get your shit straight.
Those history books have been picked up and read. State your facts, and put them forward instead of demanding us to read nameless history books - unless you were referring to Israel's Global Language Project? Insightful historical detail. Ha.
Well - the majority of recognized and credible books written by reputable historians tell the same truthful story. Two good examples, 'A History of Modern Israel' by Colin Shindler, which for the good majority is a political history, and 'Israel: A History' by Martin Gilbert.
The Diaspora across the Middle East occurred due to the invasion of Israel - haven't you heard? Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes by the Jewish/Israeli forces, during the creation of the state of Israel.
The refugee crisis was directly created by the attempted Arab invasion. Sure, some were forced to leave, no one's disputing that, but they also fled because they were convinced by Arab leaders to leave, so they would not accidentally get caught up in the fighting, and when the Jews were finally wiped out they could come back to their homes.
"The Arab National Committee in Jerusalem, following the March 8, 1948, instructions of the Arab Higher Committee, ordered women, children and the elderly in various parts of Jerusalem to leave their homes: "Any opposition to this order...is an obstacle to the holy war...and will hamper the operations of the fighters in these districts."
- Benny Morris, Middle Eastern Studies (January 1986), p. 16.]
"Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave. Only a few months separated our call to them to leave and our appeal to the United Nations to resolve on their return".
- Haled al Azm - Prime Minister of Syria 1948-49 (The Memoirs of Haled al Azm Part 1, p. 386-387)
It's weird that after such great assistance the surrounding Arab states gave, they were unwilling to accept the refugees that had been created from their failed war.
"The Arab states, which had encouraged the Palestinian Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies have failed to keep their promise to help these refugees."
- The Jordanian daily paper Falastin, Feb 19th, 1949
And still to this day!
To add the 1948 onwards Palestinian exodus Diaspora, many Palestinians migrated to Lebanon because of the Black September massacre in Jordan and the expulsion of the Palestinians and PLO. Due to the sectarian political division in Lebanon, with the Maronites positioned as head of state, the Palestinians were forbidden normal living conditions, and this is partly due to the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre where the Phalangists were allied with Israel, hence there is still a subtle alliance existing between the two. The core of the problem stems from Israel. Watch Ari Folman's documentary 'Waltz with Bashir.'
So the PLO continued their terrorist activities in Jordan then moved to Lebanon.
Palestinian death is not used as propaganda.
Yes, it is. It works for them and they know it, and use it.
Like I said, a death speaks for itself. The attacks on Palestine is powerful rhetoric alone. During the 08/09 attacks on Gaza, the information about the recent attacks on Gaza could not have been manipulated by Palestinians, but only by the Zionists since who underexaggerated the situation
Yeah, there is no such thing as biased anti-Israel media</sarcasm>
attempted to justify one of the infinite war crimes they had evidently committed - the use of white phosphorous - by claiming 'it was not illegal.' It is quite frivolous that you continually refer to Hamas as the terrorists - are you still not quite sure what Israel and the entire Zionist regime is responsible for? It's about time they were indicted.
Well, there's not been any real evidence to 100% suggest that the use of white phosphorus by Israel has been illegal.
The situation will never change until Israel pulls out and end their fascist Zionist regime. I’m not appealing for any emotion. As words and rhetoric are used to express fact, so are images.
Images are much more effective emotion evoking tools than pure text, and you know this. Images have no context, no background. To someone ignorant of the conflict that tells them "Oh look, Israel is killing all these kids, why are they doing this?". A common and effective propaganda technique.
To someone who knows what they're talking about it says "Oh look, Hamas are attacking Israeli civilians, from their own high density civilian areas, why are they doing this? They only end up getting their own civilians killed, because Israel, a sovereign nation - has to respond; as it is in their rights to do so!"
