Exposing Hamas’ Cannibalistic Cognitive War Strategy
Here’s a classic. Let’s start with the ghoulish display of sorrow over the body of a dead boy, allegedly killed by Israeli bombing. It’s aimed right at the heart of someone like Annie Lennox who, upon seeing bombs falling on Gaza, immediately imagines Palestinian babies on the receiving end, rather than Hamas militants targeting Israeli babies. And, of course, the news media snatch up the photo-op.

Recall this from Kafr Qana, Lebanon, July 30, 2006:

And, of course, the media run with the story. It’s all so obvious. Boy dead from explosion, Israelis bombing Gaza. As the Palestinian “general” in charge of the investigation of Al Durah’s death put it, “there’s no need to investigate when we know who did it.”
But wait, what about the evidence, asks Elder of Baker Street?
Jodi Rudoren, who for all her flakey early noises when she was assigned the Middle East beat by the New York Times shows some signs of independent journalism, writes:
It is unclear who was responsible for the strike on Annazla: the damage was nowhere near severe enough to have come from an Israeli F-16, raising the possibility that an errant missile fired by Palestinian militants was responsible for the deaths.
And Karin Laub, the AP reporter, adds significant detail:
Israel vehemently denied involvement, saying it had not carried out any attacks in the area at the time. Gaza’s two leading human rights groups, which routinely investigate civilian deaths, withheld judgment, saying they were unable to reach the area because of continued danger.
Mahmoud’s family said the boy was in an alley close to his home when he was killed, along with a man of about 20, but no one appeared to have witnessed the strike. The area showed signs that a projectile might have exploded there, with shrapnel marks in the walls of surrounding homes and a shattered kitchen window. But neighbors said local security officials quickly took what remained of the projectile, making it impossible to verify who fired it.
We’ve seen this scenario before. In the summer of 2006, most of the Ghalia family were killed in an explosion on a Gaza beach. The Palestinians, with the help of dramatic but dubious footage of the young daughter, meandering in wild grief among the wreckage, fooled the western news media, who immediately broadcast their claim that the family, while relaxing on the beach, was shelled by Israeli naval ships. Classic Pallywood. Evidence piled up that the Israelis had not been firing there, that the hole caused by the ordnance did not accord with an Israeli shell, that despite claims to the contrary, Palestinian sources and their unofficial spokesman, Marc Garlasco of Human Rights Watch, had no ballistic evidence of what caused the explosion. When it came time to send two of the youngest victims to Israeli hospitals, and at risk to their lives, the doctors hastily removed the shrapnel from their bodies.
The truth can be found in Chicago. And its not pretty
Rezko Update: Mystery man’s true identity revealed

Greetings:
Didn’t that Mohammed guy, the spawn of the Allah-dude, say something along the lines of, “War is deceit.” ???
Islam is the millstone. If your plan doesn’t include the undermining, constraining or eradication of Islam, you don’t have a plan. What you have is a hope.
Not only are all manner of heinous acts tolerated, under the banner of jihad, but the Arab/Muslim relationship with blood is at the core. And herein lies the essence.
There is no clearer way to explain, the heretofore inexplicable, other than through this commentary and its embedded policy paper – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/13/islam-blood-a-groundbreaking-policy-paper-contained-herein-the-world-stands-on-a-precipice-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-109/
It has been circulating among requisite ‘think tanks’ and policymakers on Capitol Hill, and it is past time the western public jumped on board.
Knowledge IS power. Ignorance IS deadly.
These people keep saying that “we desire death more than you desire life”, so they should stop bitching when the Israelis give them what they want.
Thanks for the reminder of Annie Lennox and her antisemitic stupidity. I’m SO glad that I have all my favorite Eurythmics tracks on my faithful iPod, “Norman iPodhoretz,” and didn’t pay for a single one. Stole ‘em all off library CDs. Thanks for the free music, Ms. Lennox! You’re so generous! Maybe you can get some Arab-oil bribe money to replace mine. Meanwhile, the brave intelligentsia of Europe are ready to fight to the last drop of Palestinian blood…
Andrew Breitbart was right: The media are the enemy, everywhere, of peace, justice, prosperity, and civilization. G-d, I miss him. Meanwhile, antisemites pop up all over his sites’ comment sections whenever this sort of thing goes down. Is hating the Jews an airborne virus, or something in the water?
Pallywood is part guerilla theater, part propaganda. In the end, it’s just a lie in service of an agenda, and the media is a willing accomplice in the process.
I recall many years ago watching a news story covering a public funeral in Syria in which anger at the US and/or Israel by the crowd was a central element. My father, himself having grown up in Syria, pointed out the professional “wailers” – the old women in the crowd hired to express “grief”, pounding their chests, shrieking emotionally, shouting curses at the enemy. Like the Syrian wailers, Haniyeh and the Egyptian President, in embracing the dead baby, are engaged in theater, intending both to stir up the local crowd and win points via the “useful idiots” of the media.
The only thing that will work is using the lessons of the US Civil War and WWII. You have to break the civilians populations by proving that the governments in question cannot protect them.
My father commented that when he was in the Army of Occupation: “The Germans were beaten, they didn’t have any fight left.”
If Israel wants to win, they have to do the same. If not then they will have proven to be a people of principles and no character, caring more for their own self-righteous ideals than for the lives of their fellow citizens, and finally an enemy that will fight until beaten.
The NY Times seems to be buying the poor oppressed Gazana myth.
These people deem it honorable to have your little one die to “fight” against the Jews. Heck, these are the only people in the world that strap bombs on their babies and use them as shields. The “journalists” know this, they willingly choose to lie for their agenda. The islamists dragged Stevens through the streets of Libya just like this. And the picture is from Reuters — they know.
The similarities and tactics between the jihadist and the left constantly amazes me. They both share the same hatred for our traditional way of life and are devoted to its “fundamental” change and demise. Why more don’t see it amazes me even more. We are truly a stupid sheeple, who do not hear the screaming of the lambs as they are being slaughtered before our eyes, for the jihadist it is the will of God, for the leftist it is the will of Gov. Both are purveyors of poison, seeking to take hostage the heart and enslave the soul. One is religious and one is anti-religious, but both hold in contempt the individual and their independence. They are two sides of the same coin covered in the blood of the innocent. Evil has a face and it’s the face in the mirror, for who is the greater sinner, the one who does evil or the one who allows evil to be done?
