Foreign Office chief accused of hating Jews

Racist in the Labour party?

His excuse?

The court was told that Mr Laxton had settled a “difficult” divorce with his Muslim wife on the same morning as the incident.

The truth about the Middle East

Taking Jimmy Carter to the woodshed.

Hamas condemns Holocaust lessons

The BBC reports.

"The head of its education committee in Gaza, Abdul Rahman el-Jamal, told the BBC that the Holocaust was a "big lie".

He said that to teach it would be to "grant a big favour" to Israel, which has been fighting Hamas for years.

The UN, which runs most Gazan schools, recently asked local groups whether the Holocaust should be taught. "

The UN asked?

Muslim massacre

Where's the outrage? If the Israelis had done this we would see BBC reports ad infinitum condemning the killers. But, as Tim Marshall points out, since this is Muslims killing Muslims, who cares?

Note also the Mosque and Koran desecration. Where's the Muslim outrage? It's OK for Muslims to behave in this fashion but, you just let one of us unclean infidels even touch a Koran and it's killing time.

"And where is the outrage about these murders. The marches, the petitions, the calls for a boycott, the conspiracy theory of a war against Muslims, ad infinitum? I hear just the wind blowing across the freshly dug graves. Because unless the Israelis kill them, people don't care."

Ditto America and Britain.

Tunnel fraud leaves Gazans facing ruin

So much for the heroic struggle.

Remember, as you read this, Egypt closed its border with Gaza at the same time as Israel and for the same reason - Palestinian terrorists.

"At first the tunnels emerged as smuggling routes; then they became the vital lifeline for a Gaza under economic siege by Israel. But many people who invested in the tunnels now see them quite differently - as a source of ruination."

The tunnels come from Egypt because Egypt closed its border with Gaza. So, officially at least, isn't Egypt putting Gaza "under economic siege" as well?

Medical aid convoy stranded on Gaza border

Actually it's stranded on the Egyptian border.

"A convoy bringing medical aid to Gaza is stranded at the border with Egypt, after most of the activists and volunteers with it were denied entry."

Why aren't there protests and product boycotts against Egypt for blockading the Gaza border? Oh, right, Egypt isn't Israel.

Another thing. How come no one asks why Egypt closed its border with Gaza?

Sri Llanka worse that Gaza?

Harry's Place has a post on it.

They note this from a commenter. "If this is worse than Gaza why isn’t there a mass mobilisation?" HP asks for any answers.

Simple, Israel isn't involved. The left's sole purpose to exist anymore seems to be to attack Israel. Since Israel isn't involved in Sri Llanka, why care?

Where do the Gaza death numbers come from?

Why, the Palestinians, of course!

"According to a Palestinian rights group, 1,417 Palestinians, including 926 civilians, were killed in the fighting. Israel disputes those figures."

That one must have slipped by the al Reuters censors.

Don't judge Israel's 'war crimes'

Nice to see the Guardian try and report the truth.

I'm afraid the reporter is too late though. Thanks to the left wing media, like the Guardian and the BBC, world opinion has already been poisoned against Israel. Read the comments and you'll see that, despite presenting proof that the Palestinians regularly lie and fabricate "atrocities", Guardian readers aren't interested in the truth. Sadly, neither is much of the rest of the world.

Where does the BBC get its Gaza numbers from?

Ever wonder where the BBC gets its "1300 Palestinians killed, many of them civilian and up to 400 children" numbers from? Here's an earlier BBC report that tells you where the numbers come from.

"Palestinian doctors say 879 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli offensive - to stamp out rocket fire by Gaza militants - began on 27 December.

Norwegian doctors in Gaza's main hospital said about half the casualties they have seen are civilians. Thirteen Israelis - 10 soldiers and three civilians - have died during the offensive. "

No mention of how you can tell a civilian from a terrorists wearing civilian clothes.

So just who are these Norwegian doctors? Mads Gilbert, that's who.

"When asked if he supported a terrorist attack against the US he answered: "Terror is a poor weapon, but my answer is yes, within the context I have mentioned."

So, the numbers come from Palestinian doctors and the civilian numbers come from Gilbert, an admitted hater of Israel and America. Inconvient facts the BBC would like you now to forget about.

The BBC is not alone in spreading Palestinian terrorists propaganda. See here for more on the world's media, UN and Hollywood types coordinated propaganda attacks.

Clerics urge new jihad over Gaza

Revealing that a BBC reporter was the only Westerner allowed to attend - very revealing.

"At a weekend meeting in Istanbul, 200 religious scholars and clerics met senior Hamas officials to plot a new jihad centred on Gaza."

Oh, the name of the conference? "Global Anti-Aggression Campaign"

This too is revealing.

"In closed meetings after sessions delegates focussed on the creation of a "third Jihadist front" - the first two being Afghanistan and Iraq. The intensity of the Israeli attack had "awakened all Muslims," Mr Awajy claimed. "

Well, they've lost one, losing another and will probably lose the third.

And there's this:

Mohammed Nazzal, a senior Hamas leader based in Damascus, challenged Arab governments to "open their borders and allow the fighters to come."

Remember how the left are always blaming Israel for closing their border with Gaza? The left wing media rarely mention Egypt closed its borders at the same time as Israel for the very same reason - to stop Palestinian terrorists. So it would seem these jihadists are not as united as they would have us believe.

Notice how in every article about Gaza the BBC insert this boilerplate:

"The 23 days of bombardment of Gaza, in which some 1,300 people, many of them civilians and nearly 300 of them children, are believed to have died..."

Yes, thanks to the BBC, a lot of people do believe those numbers even though the evidence shows the numbers to be far lower and mostly Hamas terrorists.

Also notice how the BBC are always cheerleaders for Palestinian terrorists.

"More importantly, this conference represented something of a coup for Hamas. They were promised weapons, money and fighters. "

So how's that promise working out?

Egypt blocks Hamas cash at Rafah border

"Egyptian security forces blocked two Hamas officials on Tuesday from entering the Islamist-run Gaza Strip with night-vision goggles and around $900,000 in cash, security and customs sources said."

But that's not how the BBC predicted this would go down.

"The question remains whether such rhetoric can or will be translated into action. Israel keeps a tight blockade on the Gaza Strip, where Hamas exercises de facto control, and Israel's other borders are also heavily guarded. "

Again, Israel is the bad guy here even though Egypt too is blockading Gaza to stop the Palestinian terrorists.

George Galloway stoned in Egypt

Hehe, no, no, he wasn't on dope. He is a dope however.

The Times reports on the Palestinian terrorists poster boy.

"A convoy led by the maverick MP George Galloway carrying supplies for Gaza has been attacked in Egypt, apparently injuring several people travelling in his party.

The convoy, carrying aid worth £1 million, was pelted with stones and vandalised with anti-Hamas slogans after it stopped overnight in El-Arish, a small town around 28 miles from the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. "

Note this happend at Egypt's closed border with Gaza and not Israels. Not many people know, thanks to the left wing media, that Egypt closed its border with Gaza the same time Israel did.

Students end Gaza sit-in protest

Interesting these types never protest about the Palestinian terrorists firing over 80 rockets a day into Israel.

Wonder why these types never protest at Egypt's closing of its border with Gaza at the same time the Israelis did?

Notice too how the BBC spread Palestinian propaganda.

"More than 1,300 Palestinians, including 400 children, were killed after Israel began its land, sea and air operations against Hamas militants on 27 December."

Says who? Why Palestinian terrorists, that's who.

Palestinians manning phone banks in Gaza for Obama

UK - BBC: "Gaza rocketeers confound Israel "

"Rocketeers" is the BBC's new word for terrorists.

It gets worse as Mike explains.

Anti-Hamas rallies staged in Gaza

Oh dear.

Gaza - BBC spreads Hamas propaganda

It's what the BBC does best.

Here's how Jane Corbin frames the report.

"The big green banner with its cheery message hung across the dusty street: "No more threat for our foreign visitors and guests."

I was being driven through Gaza City with a bodyguard provided by Hamas, the group that now controls this place."

Got that? Now that Hamas is in control everythings fine. Corbin continues to paint Hamas as the good guys.

"We soon found ourselves at a Hamas training session in the middle of a scarily realistic kidnap scenario.

Screeching tyres and blasts of live fire swirled around us as the Executive Force demonstrated how they rescue kidnap victims. "

How could Corbin know that the demonstrations was for rescue and not to kidnap? Oh, Hamas told her that. Well, that's ok then.

Next Corbin gets two bites of the apple.

"The armed wing of Hamas is better known for its suicide bombers, who have killed more than 100 Israeli civilians.

Now some of them are retraining as a police force to establish law and order after the anarchy of recent months."

You see it wasn't Hamas that killed all those Israeli civilians, it was just their armed wing - as if there's a difference. Secondly, the anarchy of recent months has more to do with Hamas than anyone else. Corbin continues.

"The streets do seem calmer now with Executive Force guards on every corner."

Sure, they kill anyone who disagrees with them or doesn't obey them. Next Corbin goes on the defense of Hamas.

"There is a lot of talk about this place becoming Hamastan, and when you look around, almost all women are veiled - but that has been happening over the last few years, and not just here but in many Muslim countries.

Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement calls for the establishment of an Islamic state, but their approach is more softly-softly, rather than a forced overnight conversion"

No, honestly, follow the link, she actually said that. It's times like this that you wish you had a cluebat. Corbin seems to be ignorant of the fact that the veil is actually banned or restricted in several Muslim countries. Further, that the veil is not proscribed in the Koran or by Islam and is seen as a radical political statement. Worse, in countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran, women are beaten in public by the religious police for not wearing the veil.

As for the "rather than a forced overnight conversion", Corbin just contradicted what she said a few paragraphs earlier.

"I have been to Gaza many times before, and wanted to see for myself what life is like here after the bloody infighting between two rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas resulted in Hamas kicking Fatah's leaders out of Gaza."

The rest of the story is devoted almost entirely into a screed against Israel. Very little is said about the continuing daily attacks on Israel. Also left out is any mention of Hamas' charter which calls for the destruction of Israel.

See here for more on the "softly-softly" Hamas.

Update

Oh, dear, Jane must have missed the meeting where this was discussed.

Gaza - Islamic thug state

This is what it looks like.

Israeli raid 'hits Gaza vehicle'

How does the BBC know any of the details in their report?

"Three suspected militants have been injured in an Israeli air strike on a vehicle in Gaza, witnesses say."

Would that be Hamas then? Then the BBC just throw this out without attributing it to anyone. "At least two civilians were also hurt in the attack."

But the BBC report that Israel is not the source of their reporting.

"The Israeli military said it had carried out a raid but gave no details, saying it was part of operations against "terrorist activity".

So, who is the BBC's source for their claims? Hamas?
