Gaza Child Killed… By Hamas
November 18, 2012 9:01 by Simon PloskerThis iconic image made its way around the world. Fighting back tears at Gaza’s Shifa Hospital, Egyptian Prime Minister held 4-year old Mahmoud Sadallah in his arms and called on Israel to end its military operations.
A PR gift for Hamas, eager to portray the IDF as vicious child killers.
While the boy was allegedly killed by an IDF airstrike, it occurred during the time that a ceasefire was in effect for the visit of the Egyptian PM. A ceasefire that Hamas broke, firing more rockets while even Israel refrained from launching airstrikes.
The truth has now emerged. Credit to some journalists for admitting, for once, that Israel was not the responsible party. The Sunday Telegraph reports (emphasis added):
But there were signs on Saturday that not all the Palestinian casualties have been the result of Israeli air strikes. The highly publicised death of four-year-old Mohammed Sadallah appeared to have been the result of a misfiring home-made rocket, not a bomb dropped by Israel.
The child’s death on Friday figured prominently in media coverage after Hisham Kandil, the Egyptian prime minister, was filmed lifting his dead body out of an ambulance. “The boy, the martyr, whose blood is still on my hands and clothes, is something that we cannot keep silent about,” he said, before promising to defend the Palestinian people.
But experts from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights who visited the site on Saturday said they believed that the explosion was caused by a Palestinian rocket.
There is only one party that not only deliberately targets innocent Israeli children but also has no qualms about putting the lives of Palestinian children at risk.
The media must acknowledge that dead babies and children play an essential role in Hamas’s propaganda war. The media must be responsible for checking the veracity of Hamas casualty claims.

Israel’s gov IS NOT abusive by building near JERUSALEM. Under the former than british ISLAMIC rulers, there WAS NO freedom there. Under Israel, there IS freedom FOR ALL people. even TOO much. like in USA ! oy vey mir.

And especially for Miss Shona Duncan.
I later also read all episodes of Doyle’s Holmes, before that in german, and also some Lovecraft and Poe, and Philosophy, which I also studied, and there was one VERY arrogant — JEWISH !!! — woman ONCE only there, from GENEVA, oy. OY OY OY. she said I’d have something like “no clue” bout PHILOSOPHY. just cuz I miss some basic PARADIGMS which ARE NOT MINE- anyway.
doyle’s Holmes is enough. The 80ies series. The two brothers looking outta da window of the Diogenes Club, something like a “Bilderberg” or “CFR” of the longgone past UK.
they deduct ALL about some passersby down on the streets. even how MANY kids they got.

And, I am also very sorry about one other chap bargin’ in at some article here on HONREP, and talkin TOTAL antisemitism. TERRIBLE. that chappo was called “MOHAMMED”.
yea oh hey.
I am pro-Palestine, and no racist against Muslims, although some of them broke my nose and praised hitller. those who did that, are dangerous fanatics.
also, what DOES strike me, or maybe, not at all, is the fact, that MANY other People, but surely, YET only, or AGAIN only a minority (unlike in the 50ies, 60ies, 70ies!) JOINS ISRAEL. UNBALIEVABLE for me, but there ARE very few CHRISTIANS who “PRACTICE JUDAISM”, as some racists said that ABOUT OBAMA (total nonsense).
yet not enough People would KILL ALL SS.!

ONE BIGTIME positive (!) message though:
AT LEAST ONE (German!) IMAM, a MUSLIM HIGH PRIEST, told to another pro-Jewish German I know, that, when alluded to OSAMA BIN LADEN by the other pro-Jewish German (whose KIDS were ATTACKED by NEONAZIS and the AUTHORITIES DID NOTHING AT ALL!!!), that Muslim in FACT “liberal” IMAM said, that OSAMA “WAS NOT EVEN A MUSLIM”, so to speak, — HE WAS, SAY I — but, the IMAM said, that “THAT IS NOT ISLAM, WHAT OSAMA DID” (911, of course).
THAT is VERY positive. !!! THERE ARE Muslims WHO DEFY OSAMA !!!
They are GOOD ! I lately saw some other pic crusin the net: “BUSH LADEN”. oy. Bush was good, not bin Laden. to kick bush together with laden. rub rub ish

I think it’s curious that people are described as, or describe themselves or other people as pro or anti Muslim or anti Jew or anti Christian. I don’t have any feelings about any religion, I don’t practice religion, but not because I think there is anything wrong with religion, I just can’t be fagged getting out of bed to go to prayer in my weekends off.
I’m looking forward to seeing Israel prosecuted for human war crimes in Palestine, as well as theft of land and other resources leading to bitter hardship.
btw, your ‘oi oi oi’ is a Neo-Nazi slogan that has lots of cringe value.

You guys are deluded. Israel is responsible for the murder of hundreds of children in Gaza. To be arguing about the authenticity of one photograph speaks volumes about the Israeli mindset; you can never accept any criticism levelled at you and almost anyone who tries is labelled an anti-semite. It’s disgusting to see the world sitting on their hands and letting Israel continue its crimes with no fear of repercussions.

Religion should never be used to kill others. Israel is funding a sectarian war against Muslim. They are perceived as genocidal maniacs, but Israel was founded by a fearsome Jewish tribe, the
AshkeNazi, They are over represented in politics and banking around the world. Then why did America support Hitler? No Nazi was harmed by any American made hardware and ammunition. Why? Because Pearl Harbor was the only thing that ‘brought America into the war’ and the American’s fought that in the Pacific. America even played with Atom Bomb Tsunami’s against New Zealand, recently released NZ defense records show. You know what? Israel was founded on forgery. Israel is a forgery state, a genoc
