1. I used the term "Gaza official". How do you conclude that I was "clearly ascribing the falsehood to Hamas"? What gives you the right to falsely interpret my statement?

2. Yes - the New Statesman article was published on 13 August - but in your usual deceptive and misleading way you fail to indicate it was written before then - as the correction dated 12 August makes bleedingly obvious.

3. So when was it written? My guess is before 9 August - the date of the Telegraph article to which you refer - because the same New Statesman reporter published an article on 9 August in which he stated:

"Israeli bombing this morning destroyed one of the largest mosques in central Gaza, killing at least three Palestinians preparing for dawn prayers, including the father of a severely injured ten year old boy blinded in an earlier strike on their home a week ago....Among the three bodies recovered was that of Nidal Badran, 44, who had been desperately hoping that his son Mohammed, who is currently in Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital suffering from serious cranio-facial injuries, including the loss of his sight, would be transferred for urgently needed surgery to Europe. Six others of Mr Badran’s children were also injured in the earlier strike."

4.Was Badran Senior preparing for dawn prayers as our intrepid journalist reported?

5. Apparently not. He was a terrorist according to this report.

6. So Badran Senior's house and the horrific injuries suffered by members of his family takes on a different perspective.

How many such similar stories remain to be unearthed as claims of deliberate killing of civilians pour out of Gaza - unchecked and unverified?

I am afraid sir - that you and all the other Jew haters on OLO who are engaged in whipping up mass hysteria and incitement not only against Israel but against Jews all around the world - are the problem.

So anyone who challenges your propaganda view of the Israelis behaviours or the fundamental flaws in their state religion or their inability to change behaviours or the inability to revise their religion are Jewish haters?

Is that the case David?

Or would you like to point them out to me as I only see hate and discrimination being spread on olo by the Israeli supporters and propagandists.

You see David you might wear our clothes but resorting to such labeling says you wear a dark veil over your heart.

imajulianutter,

"So anyone who challenges your propaganda view of the Israelis behaviours or the fundamental flaws in their state religion or their inability to change behaviours or the inability to revise their religion are Jewish haters?"

Good question...

David Singer,

Is this Rabbi a Jew hater too?

"Israel has broken my heart: I’m a rabbi in mourning for a Judaism being murdered by Israel"

<<So anyone who challenges your propaganda view of the Israelis behaviours or the fundamental flaws in their state religion or their inability to change behaviours or the inability to revise their religion are Jewish haters?>>

The key point here --which the usual suspects are ignoring -- is yes, there are quite a number of persons inside Israel who criticize Israeli policy or Judaism even (some are even holding down govt jobs!). But how many can you find openly criticizing Hamas or Islam inside Gaza?

Any takers?

SPQR,

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/18/opinion/gaza-and-israel-the-road-to-war-paved-by-the-west.html?_r=1

"Seeing a region swept by popular protests against leaders who couldn’t provide for their citizens’ basic needs, Hamas opted to give up official control of Gaza rather than risk being overthrown. Despite having won the last elections, in 2006, Hamas decided to transfer formal authority to the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah. That decision led to a reconciliation agreement between Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization, on terms set almost entirely by the P.L.O. chairman and Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud"

And how did Israel respond?

"Israel immediately sought to undermine the reconciliation agreement by preventing Hamas leaders and Gaza residents from obtaining the two most essential benefits of the deal: the payment of salaries to 43,000 civil servants who worked for the Hamas government and continue to administer Gaza under the new one, and the easing of the suffocating border closures imposed by Israel and Egypt that bar most Gazans’ passage to the outside world."

And that's beside the fact that Israel just saw fit to outrage the world by a mass slaughter of unarmed civilians in Gaza.

#imajulianutter continues to mislead and misrepresent.

This is what the Foreign Press Association said and which I published:

"The FPA protests in the strongest terms the blatant, incessant, forceful and unorthodox methods employed by the Hamas authorities and their representatives against visiting international journalists in Gaza over the past month.

The international media are not advocacy organisations and cannot be prevented from reporting by means of threats or pressure, thereby denying their readers and viewers an objective picture from the ground.

In several cases, foreign reporters working in Gaza have been harassed, threatened or questioned over stories or information they have reported through their news media or by means of social media.

We are also aware that Hamas is trying to put in place a "vetting" procedure that would, in effect, allow for the blacklisting of specific journalists. Such a procedure is vehemently opposed by the FPA."

This is how imajulianutter dealt with the Foreign Press Association statement:

"Singer quoted the FPA as saying:

1. Hamas,'harassed, threatened or questioned (Journalists) over stories'.

2. Hamas put in place 'a "vetting" procedure that would, in effect, allow for the blacklisting of specific journalists.'

3. Hamas threatened 'journalists could be expelled from Gaza.'

imajulianutter has no credibility and I have made it clear I do not intend to respond to his or her rubbish. When I am misrepresented I will let readers know.
