IDF Spokesman accuses world media of falling for Hamas lies

In an article published by the Wall Street Journal on Monday, IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis offered the facts behind the “peaceful protest” organized by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. For instance, Hamas hired civilians, including women and children, “as extras” by shelling out $14 per individual, $100 per family and $500 for those injured. Its commanders took part in civilian dress, each running a sector of the operation as a director. In Hamas-ruled Gaza, there is no freedom of assembly or speech, only gatherings sanctioned by Hamas – hence no authentic protest is possible. On Facebook, Hamas posted maps for their operatives showing the quickest routes from the Gaza border with Israel to Israelis’ homes, schools, and day-care centers targeted for attack, after they broke through the fence by force. Brig.-Gen Manelis concluded: “If to win the international propaganda war like Hamas, I need to lie, I prefer to tell the truth and lose. The IDF will win where it matters – protecting our civilians in the face of terror.”

    ‘cast lead’, dime munitions, destruction of civilian infrastructure, malicious shelling of children playing soccer, phosphorous weapons, snipers, collective punishes, ethnic cleansers, militants, chauvinists. say no more.

    For so said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel “With tranquility and restfulness shall you be saved, with quietude and trust shall be your might; but you did not want.

    And you said, ‘No, but on horses will we flee.’ Therefore, you shall flee. ‘And on swift [steeds] will we ride.’ Therefore, your pursuers shall be swift.

      Those are the consequences of Hamas’ aggression. If they had kept their members, their children and women away from the border fence, none of those things would have happened.

      To amplify the commentator below: Eat shit, turn green and die!

    The media do not fall for the lies, they create them. In Canada most of the population is so out of touch with reality and so pampered that their biggest problem is stuff like “the royal wedding.” They have no idea what is happening in the world nor how it might be affecting their children and grandchildren – but they will learn. So left-wing politicians and media tell them the soundbites that the left-wing want them to know. Just enough to stuff their little brains with lies. When it comes to Israel and the Terrorstinians all the people are told is that Israel is the bully and the “poor” Terrorstinians are the Christ-like victims. It is the perfect marriage of Christioan anti-Semitism and Islamic anti-Semitism. From there nothing else matters. The Terrorstinians could be raping their sons and daughters and slaughtering their grandmothers and grandfathers and they would find excuses to back the killers.

    Thank goodness Israel is ready and prepared – perhaps the only western-style (with eastern knowledge) in the world that is. Trump knows but most of the US has been fed a steady diet of CNN and Obama for 7 years and deep state Republican garbage before that.

    I do not think that the EU will get away with further Islamization before violence breaks out in the streets in very serious ways. Please, blame the media and blame to willfully ignorant politicians who have led us down the path of believing in their hard-held ignorance and plan leading to destruction and inundation by ideologies that want us dead and replaced.

    NOT ONLY IS THE WESTERN WORLD LIVING IN A ” FOOL’S PARADISE”, BUT THEIR LACK OF ACTION AGAINST THE LIKES OF HAMAS AND OTHERS OF THAT ILK, MAKES THEM COMPLICIT IN THE DEATHS OF CIVILIANS , MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN THAT ARE BEING USED FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSES TO PORTRAY ISRAEL IN A BAD LIGHT.
