Israel Day 10: The Media’s Distortion of Facts Is Critical To Understanding the War
October 16, 2023
Israel is not fighting a conventional army of a sovereign state. Every Muslim terrorist organization uses human shields in war. While Israel – and every Western democracy that we know – tries its utmost to minimize Arab civilian deaths, Hamas deliberately targets Israeli civilians.
Americans should already know – from their extensive experiences in wars against Muslim terrorists, whether in Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan (to name a few) – that conflicts against terrorists are totally ASYMMETRIC Wars; hence, if Israel abides by conventional rules of engagement, she will never win.
The fake media keeps telling the world that Gaza has the densest population on Earth while totally ignoring the following facts that utterly destroy their narrative. Paris has 20,641 people per sq kilometer; New York has 11,314; Singapore has 8,592; Tel Aviv has 8,468; Jerusalem has 7,200; Hong Kong has 6,300; London has 5,598 ⏤ Gaza has 5,000, with a lot of space to expand.
The media continues to deliberately and, with malice aforethought, distort facts and reality to show HAMAS and the ‘Palestinians’ as victims.
Let me share with you the following facts that invariably escape the minds of people who do not have the time or interest to investigate issues, no matter how important they may be to understanding this fight.
The choreography of every cycle of aggression by the Arabs against Israel follows exactly the same pattern.
> Repeated and relentless acts of terror are conducted against Israeli civilians by Arab terrorists without a whimper from any member of the UN.
> Arabs start a war with their publicly declared intention to EXTERMINATE Israelis.
> No condemnation by 190 members of the UN.
> Israel retaliates in self-defense, and the UN demands that it defends itself using “proportional” destruction against its enemies.
> Israel gains territory.
> Arabs beg for a ceasefire, and the UN forces Israel to stop the destruction of her enemies’ military assets.
> The Arab aggressors demand that Israel return to them the territories it had gained with the blood of her soldiers.
> The Arabs declare to the world that they have no intention to make peace, talk peace, or recognize Israel’s right to exist.
> On top of this, adding insult to injury, the most corrupt organization on Earth (UN) accuses Israel of War Crimes, not the Arabs.
> 28% of the UN members are Muslim countries. Another 28% are bought by Muslims with billions of dollars in bribery to the corrupt leaders of these countries.
> Therefore, Muslims have an automatic majority on every single resolution in the UN.
> Since 2015, the General Assembly has adopted 140 resolutions criticizing Israel, mainly over its treatment of the mythical Palestinians, its relationships with neighboring countries, and other alleged wrongdoings. Over the same period, it has passed 68 resolutions against all other 192 countries.
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) was established for the Arab refugees of the 1948 war. It is one of the largest United Nations programs, with over 30,000 personnel (mostly Muslim Arabs) working across five areas of operations.
> From 1994 till 2018, the US alone provided UNRWA with $5,000,000,000.
> 75 years after the establishment of the state of Israel and the ensuing Arab-Israeli war, which fomented a huge refugee crisis, up to three million Palestinians still rely on the UN for food, education, health, and social services, as well as jobs in these sectors.
> Arab refugees from the 1948 war allegedly were 750,000 fully dependent on world charity. Israel absorbed 950,000 destitute Jewish refugees from Arab and Muslim lands without a dime in help from the UN.
> Only in the case of the Arabs, has the UN preposterously and totally illegally allowed, that even the children and all descendants of the original refugees are to be taken care of by the UN. Such a privilege was not endowed on any other refugee group.
> While the Jewish refugees from over 30 Arab and Muslim countries who suffered at least 4 years in Israel’s refugee camps, worked hard to create a free and democratic state without any help from the UN, the Arab refugees have been kept on purpose by the UN, so that UNRWA will continue to be supported by the world, while billions are pilfered by many of its corrupt members.
> After 75 years, only a few dozen Arab refugees are still alive from the original refugees, yet on UNRWA’s register, it is taking care of at least three million; all of them are children and grandchildren of the original refugees.
> The Arab ‘refugees’ have been the only refugees since WWII, on UN charity. Over 40 million in Europe and 20 million in Asia, have been integrated into their host countries, except the Arab refugees of the Holy Land.
> There are 22 Arab states covering at least 5,000,000 square miles of land, yet for 75 years, they have refused to absorb them in their countries although they are Muslims, speak Arabic, and are of Arab background. Israel, in the meantime, integrated and absorbed Jews from 70 countries worldwide, speaking different languages and traditions.
UNRWA has been complicit in all the wars conducted by Arabs of the Gaza enclave by allowing all the terrorist organizations therein to install military assets – missiles, rockets, terror tunnels, etc. – in or near residential areas, schools, hospitals, and mosques. Not once had UNRWA or the UN members ever objected to these acts of War Crimes.
> All members of the UN, especially the Europeans and Americans, have known for decades – that Hamas and other Islamic terror groups – have been purposely exposing their own families and people to death and destruction by Israel, when it retaliates; yet, these same countries are today bewailing the catastrophic problems of the Arab refugees.
> The USA and EU have paid UNRWA billions of dollars over the decades that the terrorists ruling the Gaza enclave did not use to build hospitals, infrastructure, power stations, water resources, advanced agriculture, or anything else of value to improve the lives of their people.
> On the contrary, and with the full knowledge of the USA and EU, they spent billions on arming themselves and or stealing the money. Billions of hard-earned Western taxpayers’ money were deliberately wasted upon the so-called Palestinians.
> The blood of Israeli victims since 1948 is shared not only by Arab terrorists, but also by complicit Western leaders for knowingly aiding and abetting the terrorists all these years.
> Why is UNRWA objecting to Israel’s military response but not to Hamas’s relentless terror attacks since 2005, when Israel vacated the enclave? Why, only when Israel defends itself, is the conscience of UNRWA awakened?
> The doctrine of Proportional Response in War ~ According to the doctrine, a state is legally allowed to unilaterally defend itself and right a wrong, provided the response is proportional to the injury suffered. The response must also be immediate and necessary, refrain from targeting civilians, and require only enough force to reinstate the status quo ante. That said, experts say the proportionality principle is open to interpretation and depends on the context.
> Easily said than done, because this should apply ONLY if the opposing forces are conventional armies. It cannot and should not apply against terrorists who – by their very nature – do not abide by any International law.
I shall now share with you the best answer to the concept of proportionality in war, from the illustrious Douglas Murray of Britain, and I quote:
“But if we were to decide that we should have this fetish about proportionality, then that would mean that in retaliation for what Hamas did in Israel on Saturday, Israel should try to locate a music festival in Gaza and rape precisely the number of women that Hamas raped on Saturday, kill precisely the number of young people that Hamas killed on Saturday.
“They should find a town of exactly the same size as a town like Sderot and make sure they go door to door and kill precisely the correct number of babies that Hamas killed in Sderot on Saturday, and shooting precisely the same number of old age pensioners as was shot on Saturday, proportionality in conflict is a joke.”
So now you know the truth.
