Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that no Israelis have been killed by Qassam missiles, while every Israel Defense Forces attack in the Gaza Strip kills dozens of Palestinians.
"The Palestinian territories are like an open-air prison, they are under siege from Israel," he said in a televised speech to lawmakers Wednesday.
He blamed Israel for the situation in Gaza: "The people of Gaza are facing a humanitarian tragedy," he said. "We cannot accept a practice that amounts to punishing nearly 2 million innocent people due to some rocket attacks. ... When we ask [our Israeli colleagues] how many Israeli citizens died as a result of these rocket attacks, we do not get an answer."
So we can all understand why ...
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations criticized the organization's humanitarian affairs chief on Thursday for failing to acknowledge the suffering caused by Palestinian rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza.
Because they hardly ever even cause damage. And ...
Only one of the 15 council members - the United States - opposes the Arab draft. A senior U.S. envoy said Washington was unhappy with it because it fails to condemn what it calls the terrorism against Israel and ignores the causes of the problem.
and, standing up for Israel, which the rest of the world expects again and again...
U.S. Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolff said the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which seized control of Gaza after routing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah forces in June 2007, was ultimately responsible for what was happening in Gaza.
Which in fact they were the government at the time, routing the Fatah forces, who were in fact the ones trying to overthrow the elected Government of Hamas.
Whereas at least someone can point out the obvious , which does not reach Western mainstream media outlets...
Ryad Mansour, the permanent Palestinian observer to the United Nations, told reporters "Israel should take note that 14 members of the Security Council ... are saying that the humanitarian situation in Gaza cannot be tolerated."
That is 14 out of 15.... But after ignoring more than 40 resolutions, Israel is above the UN, as is it's partner in terrorism the USA.
Israel has also said, that all Palestinians have to do is stop firing rockets into Israel and life will return to normal. We all know this is untrue, as there have been many ceasefires and then Israel continues targeted assasinations' of leaders of resistance groups, causing injury to innocent passers-by, which then cause people to continue the fighting and struggle against oppression , starvation and being in a continuous lock-down, hence more rocket launches.
Israel and the US area responsible for any backlash from these millions of people, they had been warned repeatedly against collective punishment. The only outcome is to make more people radical under a dire and desperate situation.
The US and Israel always try to make themselves look as if they are the hurt party, but they must start to understand the rest of the world hears a different truth and can see for there own eyes what happens in IRAQ, Afganistan and the Middle East where these 2 countries carry out there awful crimes.
