Exposed: News Blackout Over Gaza! Print E-mail
Sunday, 02 March 2008

It is disgusting. Hardly anything was mentioned in the “free-press” of the democratic Western. In fact the coverage in some cases equals to partner-in-crime.

Here are some examples (Click on thumbnail to enlarge. Highlights in blue):

American Media - Newspapers

New York Times: Not a single word!

New York Times

LA Times: Not a single word!

LA Times

 

American Media - Online News

New York Times: Under "More News" a very small line: Israel Takes Gaza Fight to Next Level in a Day of Strikes

New York Times

The Washington Post: Hardly seen one line, 60 Gazans Killed in Incursion By Israeli Forces

The Washington Post

CNN: Israeli airstrike hits Hamas premier office

Not mentioning the civilian house, babes, children and civilians killed. Misleading the mass that Israel is attacking Hamas only. Nothing new!

CNN

LA Times: Hardly seen five words (marked in blue), Israel launches offensive into Gaza

LA Times

Fox news: 54 killed in attack on Militants

Doh... they have a discount on the numbers (at the time of their report, more than 78 were killed).

Fox News

At least two dozen Palestinian civilians, including a baby, were among those killed, and militants said 25 fighters died. Health officials said about 200 people were wounded, 14 of them critically.

Although more than 1/3 of the 78 killed were babies and children, Fox says only ONE baby was killed!!!

 

UK Media - Online News

BBC website: Second headline from left (marked in blue): UN Chief condemns Gaza violence

Violence ha? No mention of babies, children and civilians killed!!!

It seems also that, very unfortunately, the only Christian priests speaking up for humanity are the highly charismatic black priests such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and that outstanding speaker, the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

To be blunt, white Christian priests have lost their way.

If the retaliation in Gaza is a "holocaust", are the constant Hamas rocket attacks on Sderot a "genocide" or merely a "mass slaughter"?

Tell me, anyone. Why should newspapers feel sympathy for the Hamas lunatics, who have been goading Israel aver the last few weeks with non-stop rocket attacks? Should anyone feel pity for Hamas when they invite ruin on themselves and all connected with them? Even their children's TV programmes invite children to kill themselves. Totally, wickedly crazy.

MPAC criticises the US press for not covering the 'Holocaust' in which 50-100 Palestinians, many of them fighters launching rockets into Israel, have been killed.

But MPAC has failed to cover the massacre of 200,000 innocent civilians in Sudan. When that real genocide has been mentioned, it has been explained away by being 'complicated'.

Paulm the holocaust in palestine started 60 years ago and to date tens of thousands have been slaughtered and millions made refugees for 60 years.

sudan 5000 died due to nomads and farmers fighting over scarce resources has been used as power politics between china and america.

No occupation no resistance it is as simple as that.

These Hamas rockets are little more than fireworks having killed just 13 Israelis in 7 years. The Israeli response has been completely over the top and is simply another phase of the ethnic cleansing, destruction and murder that has been going on for the last 60 years.

If Gaza is genocide then this must be multi-genocide.

Every time I see you posting - you always are defending Israel or getting Israel out of the mess it has got itself into.

You are an apologise for a murdering aparthied state. Trying to divert it to Sudan is not going to help.

MPAC Keep focusing on the world greatest threat to peace - ISRAEL! You cant solve the worlds problems, but you can PRIORITISE the most important battle - ZIONISM.

DOUBLE, DOUBLE STANDARDS here.
You always ignore the homicidal slaughters committed around the globe by muslims (on numerous other faiths' peoples, muslims upon muslims, even in mosques,on pilgrimages, in Dafur, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, across Europe (I could go on), all in the name of your god.
You would be doing the Muslim community a great service if you started out telling the truth about your co-religionists world-wide killing sprees, instead of rushing to blame the Jewish people, Zionists, Israel, the USA, the UK, uncle Tom Cobbly & all.
As for your blue highlighting of MSM reports on Gaza, if you care to look inside the papers you mention you will see reports & others like the BBC site, is only a Click for a full report.
A first step is to stop lying to yourselves, stop adopting the role of victimhood and stop playing the "football match" scoring game (so many died in one place as against so many elsewhere). As the Israelis will tell you, the Arabs will not make peace until they learn to love their children as much as they love to kill Israelis.
Once again, anyone who speaks Ivrit (Hebrew) will tell you "shoah" means disaster or trouble but "HaShoah" means "THE Holocaust". Ha = The. Therefore The Holocaust (HaShoah) is not the same meaning as "shoah" which in simple terms means exactly "disaster/trouble". If you understand Hebrew comment, otherwise don't make inflamatory & illjudged statements borne out of ignorance &/or mischief, unless inflaming a culture of hate is your objective.

Make sure you remind your MP (if he/she is a 'Friend of Israel') at the next General Election that support for terrorist baby-killers is not what British people want.

Being 'Friend of Israel' is like aiding and abetting acts of terrorism.

why? Is it simply because of the apparent apartheid system? Is it because izrael sits on land you muslims consider yours?

In case you had not noticed, this thread is about Palestine and the Zionist barbarity in Gaza, attempting to divert the attention away to Darfur etc is a typical tactic used by those who want to find some faux - moral jutification for their crimes, or who attempt to downplay the struggle of the Palestinian people.

The real madness here is that you are attempting to paint the victim as the aggressor and thereby justifying the occupation, and any atrocity carried out by the Zionist state, such schizophrenic thinking has becoming typical of the supporters of Israel.

Shan - who, in your paranoid view, am I supposed to have been trained by?

The simple fact is that over 90% of Muslim deaths in conflict over the past ninety years have been inflicted by other Muslims. 0.2% have been inflicted by Israel.

Rather than just rant back at me, ask yourselves why you are so indifferent to the great mass of Muslim suffering that you cannot pin on the Jews.

I so knew Colin was going to say that LOL. Man, you are now so predictable.

It's like saying, "why should the world feel sorry and shock at 911, because USA created Osama, USA funded and made friends Saddam Hussien and were very big pals, USA funded Osama, and then we got foriegn policies kicking of against different countries.

The PRESS should be covering news, proper news, news that needs to be heard. That's what they are supposed to do, NOT ignoring it.

The way the ignored the biggest Marches in England against the way, and didn't say, why the people were matching, didn't ask about the Anylasis behind it, NOTHING.

Just images of people marching. Thats it.

So please Colin, don't talk as though the Muslims here are dumb asses. Everyone knows what the media is doing. Everyone knows how the game is played but it seems you don't.

It seems you keep highlight for ISREAL. And I wouldn't mind, if what you highlight has truth in it but damn it man, talk the truth, and speak with some sense, and see, that if the Media mess up like this and don't expose what it must do, then oneday, IT BE ISREALIS GETTING MASHED UP and no one will cover that.

It works both ways and for me, it's about the Media, start showing, become real journalist instead of puppets of corporations and figure heads for politians views!

Of course David, How about,

1. President Bush Apologises to the People OF Iraq and the thousands who got killed under the name of - THERE WAS WMD THERE.

2. How about USA apologises for a war they created with mischief and started the Vietnamn war and Hiroshima..here it comes.

3. How about Britain apologises for stepping in, make a mess and bang the deal to UN and past the buck for OCCUPPIED Palestine to be messed up and divided.

We can go on and on, and on. And in every debate, in every argument, it is always boils down, to the chauvinist, pathetic, all powered with all the tools of media and MONEY and INFLUENCE that suddenly say...

"But..But...please say why Muslim did this. We want you to apologise also for 911."

Pathetic really. Please stop asking for apologies, and start looking at what this topic is about..

MEDIA not saying jack about what is really happening. Look at each copy uploaded for God sake. This isn;t journalism. This is downright cover up and shaping the minds of the people.

however if we are to talk about sudan then why arent we talking about the lords resistance army (christian cult) who have displaced 1 million people and have murdered 20 000 children in a conflict with uganda and operate from bases in southern sudan?

i bet those who talk about darfur have not heard of the LRA.

now surely this reflects on the coverage of the palestinians, in that our media only tell us what our governments want us to be angry over.

ask yourselves why are you ignorant about LRA, why is one israeli life worth 100 palestinian lives?

I couldn't agree with you more Colin.
Hamas are a bunch of lunatics intent only in protecting their land. Their actions are as far from the Sunnah of Muhammad (saw) as can be. Their actions lead to greater harm and strife for the very people they claim to be protecting. They promote the forbidden act of suicide bombings and believe this cowardice act is jihad (and I don't care about Qardawi's evil fatwa allowing for people to kill themselves, may Allaah guide him).
Hamas, Hezbullah (party of shaytaan more like), are a cancer for this ummah and an obstacle for Muslims in traversing the correct path.

You stupid, ignorant, racists, open your closed eyes and your use your ears and then maybe, your bigottry will enable you to start to understand what is going on in Gaza, West Bank & Israel. Israel voluntarilly withdrew all connections from Gaza - Result = immediate ROCKET ATTACKS on Sederot, DAILY. No provocation from the departed Israelis. But Hamas & Fatah did just that from day one. Open your blind minds and ask yourselves, which country would allow itself to be attacked daily by indiscriminate rockets aiimed at civilian centres and not retaliate? Answer, none. And if that country retaliated, who would blame it? Answrer, none. Oh sorry, all could do so except one. Israel is not allowed to defend itself & when it does you all scream "foul".
You all know what the result would be if this tiny country, smaller than Wales, was not capable or did not defend itself - your Paly brothers/fellow religionists would be engaged in a blood slaughter, a real genocide. Make no mistake, that is what your friends, and maybe you as well dear reader, are aiming for - a killing of the Jews in Israel.
For 60 years Israel has been trying to get its Arab neighbours to enjoy peace but they prefer bloodshed, poverty, handouts, corruption etc , for what?
Israel & its Jewish people have every right to be there, the Jewish people's history far proceeds that of the Arabs & most certainly those of the Muslim religion, that being only 1429 years old. The Jews were there millenia before Arabs & Muslims.

"Here we go again..."

Hamas hardliners in Gaza – people who curse the day that the State of Israel was created and dream of nothing but destroying it - bombard a small town ten miles inside Israel with over 2000 rockets. That doesn’t seem to provoke the Israelis enough so they start bombarding a city twenty miles inside Israel with larger rockets. Then, when Israel retaliates, howls of rage and talk of ‘revenge’. What utterly ridiculous talk. And then, the real purpose behind Hamas actions, the demands that the world’s press condemn Israel for doing what any sane country on earth would do to stop itself being bombarded. I quite agree the press should be in there, but I would like to see them reporting on the tactics that Hamas hardliners have, such as putting schools and religious buildings in the firing line by using them for military purposes. An all for the lunatic, futile Hamas dream of unwishing Israel.

Those saying that Hamas is to blame for what is happening in Gaza for firing rockets into the illegal Jewish state should go back to the roots and be consistent. The bottom line is just that, the so called Israel is an illegal state which should not be there. It should be completely removed from existence, and the country of Palestine should be declared on the whole of the Palestinian land as it was before 1948. In my opinion, what Hamas is doing is trying to achieve this legitimate goal, and it can’t be blamed for that. All so called Jewish ‘civilians’ living in the illegal state of Israel are in fact occupiers, and they should be targeted and ad killed if they refuse to leave the land they occupy. There is absolutely no difference between Jewish occupiers doing civilian jobs in the illegal Jewish state and members of its army, they are all occupiers, and they all contribute to the killing of the innocent original owners of the land. A great distinction must be made between killing British people in Britain or Americans in America (which is absolutely wrong and unjustified) and killing Jewish occupiers in Palestine (which is absolutely reasonable and urgently required). May God bless Hamas and give them victory soon.

Paulm as a good trained liar states 90 per cent of muslims killed in the last 90 years have been killed by muslims.
so 2 million afghans were not killed by the soviets but by muslims.
2 million algerians were not killed by framce but by muslims.
500,000 chechens were not killed by the soviets but by chechens.
the list goes on and on but what type of illnes are you affected by that stops you from recognising the slaughter of muslims by non muslims,instead you blame it on the victims.
you truly suffer from from some mental illness,that allows you to excuse the slaughter of muslims.

Firstly you need to calm down and look at things rationally.Your bigoted love for the Zionist state and blind hatred of Palestinians/Mulsims has blinded you to the realities of history, so some lessons:

1. The Jews may have been present in Palestine 2000 years ago (before they were expelled by the Romans), but they were not the only, or first, civillisation that was present there, before them were the Canaanites, Ebusites and Phoenicians,many of whom are the ancestors of todays Palestinians.Furthermore when the Islamic state incorporated Palestine under its rule, many Jews and Christians actually accepted Islam or welcomed them as liberators from Byzantine Rule.In other words the people of Palestine are not merely descendants of nomadic Arabs, but are actually the descendants of the original inhabitants of Palestine who converted to Islam.

2.Israel was created, with the collusion of the British, as a settler state for European Jews with little or no ethnic/cultural similarity to the people of Palestine, it was created in 1948 through terrorism and resulted in the ethnic cleansing ,murder and expulsion of thousands of Palestininas, who had been living in their homeland for centuries in harmony with the Christian and Jewish minority.

3.Of course 'poor Israel' must 'defend' itself, well with one of the largest armies in the world and 100 nuclear weapons and subsidized by £1 billion dollars a year from the U.S., its a bit like David (the Palestians) and Goliath (Israel) to me.In fact it is the Palestinians who must fear for their very existence on a daily basis due to Israels malign occupation and brutal massacres!

4.Hamas is a resistance movement , and also the popularly elected govt of Palestine.As recent reports in the press have shown; the U.S., Israel and some 'friends' in the PA attempted to derail the Hamas govt through a coup after 2006, which failed.They also imposed sanctions and a blockade on Gaza, and also refused to talk to Hamas.
So how can you possibly talk about Hamas' aggression when you are trying to subvert it at every turn,rank Zionist hypocrisy!

It is you who are trapped in a world of victimology and denial, but in reality it is the innocent people of Palestine who continue to suffer due to the brutal, arrogant and vicious Zionist regime.
