This seems like another example of cheap Hamas propaganda which seems to just too eagerly be sucked up by Muslims around the world. 1) The Twitter account doesn't exist, neither does the account that he allegedly tweets to. 2) According to that fake photo, the guy's name is David Ovadia 3) The guy who fake-re-tweeted that fake tweet calls him David Dovadia, and the faked account has a "d" in the middle. 4) The only things to be found with regards to the faked account are OUTRAGED tweets by Muslims around the world. FAKE FAKE FAKE and you fell for it, unfortunately.
It's also hilarious how people are defending the obvious fake now. "His account now turned private on Instagram". The faked picture is of a Twitter account, however. Just think, people - even if you want to see your own prejudice confirmed and it fuels your outrage: Who the hell would post this? ""I just killed 13 childrens and ur next f****** musilms go to hell b******." Nobody would post this, that's right. Very, very, very gullible to believe this badly made fake. Actually, sadly says more about all the people believing this and their prejudice.
That's not Twitter. It's Instagram. The account exists but it's private. Only those who follow him can see it, and he has to approve requests. I wouldn't label it fake, at least not yet.
True, pretty outrageous statement. Hard to believe anyone would post that but some soldiers are known to be psychos so it's not completely out of the question. But yeah, this shouldn't be a storyline that people should run with and support their arguments, there's plenty other credible evidence out there to use than a random Instagram account.
No IDF soldier would post anything like this. The only way to believe that an IDF soldier would post this is if you have already been pre-programmed by Islamist propaganda to view Israelis as monsters. Just turn on your brain, please - "I just killed 13 children" - nobody would post this, even if it happened (which it didn't). Conveniently, both the "Israeli" and the "Palestinian" account are turned private. It'll be on Snopes soon enough. It's just not credible.
A distinction without a difference as far as my tax dollars are concerned and certainly the Israeli people have a good deal to do with what government is in power. But I'll consider going back to school just to be on your level of expertise on how elected governments get elected, must not be by the people apparently. Thanks.
http://news.yahoo.com/us-restocks-israel-ammunition-015126465.html Why is the US getting involved with these Nutjobs on both sides? Why are we restocking Israeli ammunition? What a joke. We can all yell and scream about who is right and wrong till we turn blue but we shouldn't be giving bullets to the Israelis or the Palestinians. We're creating hardships for our reputation, our businesses and our people around the world by getting involved in this next of bees. Let them fight it out if they want but we shouldn't be supplying ammunition and bullets to these people.
Because Israel is an ally and the only democracy in the middle east. Also we don't view Israel as having done anything wrong. Finally responding to rockets being shot into your country daily is not something one usually criticizes. Having failed to convince anyone that Hamas is worse than Israel, Progressives are now trying to pitch the argument that they are both bad. It is not very compelling.
UN blames Israeli artillery for killing at least 20 civilians at school shelter in Gaza http://bangordailynews.com/2014/07/...offers-4-hour-humanitarian-ceasefire-in-gaza/ I know the usual supects will believe whatever Israeli spokesperson. Let me predict. They will blame it on a misfired Hamas rocket as usual.
You have the old guard raised on straight Israeli propaganda who are slow to accept reality, but the younger folks are seeing Israel for what it has been for the last 30 years or more-- not your grandfather's image of the kindly old Israel making the desert bloom. Israel's Propaganda Machine Is Finally Starting to Misfire By Patrick Cockburn • July 29, 2014 • 600 Words • 2 Comments To many readers the New York Times coverage of the war in Gaza comes across as neutered or as having a pro-Israeli bias. But not to Ron Dermer, the Israeli ambassador in Washington, who lambasts the paper for failing “to mention that a million Israelis were in bomb shelters yesterday as 100 rockets were fired at our civilian population.” Mr Dermer is considered so close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he has been called “Bibi’s brain”. He is also a former student and employee of Frank Luntz, the Republican strategist who produced a confidential booklet in 2009, promptly leaked, advising Israeli spokesmen how best to manipulate American and European public opinion. “Don’t confuse messages with facts,” Dr Luntz advises the spokesmen as he explains how facts should be selected and best presented to make Israel’s case. It is a sophisticated document based on wide-ranging opinion polls, suggesting, for instance, that the removal of Israeli settlements from the West Bank should be denounced as “a kind of ethnic cleansing”. Dr Luntz stresses that spokesmen must demonise Hamas, but above all emphasise that they feel for the sufferings of Palestinians as well as Israelis. As a sample of what they should say, he gives: “The day will come when Israeli children and Palestinian children will grow up together, play together, and work together side-by-side not just because they have to but because they want to.” The problem about this approach is that it sounds particularly hypocritical when, according to Unicef, 230 children have been killed in Gaza, an average of ten a day, and 2,000 have been wounded by Israeli bombs, shells and bullets. Israeli spokesmen are now denying their responsibility for the most notorious and televised atrocities such as the strike on the UN hospital last week. This is an old PR tactic, though not one recommended by Dr Luntz, which is sometime referred to as “first you say no story, then you say old story”. In other words, deny everything in the teeth of the evidence on day one and, by the time definitive proof of the massacre comes through, nobody notices when you have to admit responsibility. A problem here is that propaganda that works in a short war comes back to haunt you in a longer one. This is now happening in Gaza. Israeli air and artillery strikes and Hamas mortars and rockets are often presented as if they balanced each other out in terms of lethality. But the most important statistic here is that some 1,100 Palestinians have been killed as opposed to three civilians in Israel. Despite his tutoring by Dr Luntz, Mr Dermer only speaks these days to the converted. Attending a Christians United for Israel Summit in Washington he replied to protesters who called him a “war criminal” by saying that “the truth is that the Israeli Defence Forces should be given a Nobel Peace Prize”. Stuff like this may explain why a Gallup poll shows that among Americans aged between 18 and 29 some 51 per cent said Israel’s actions were unjustified while only 23 per cent said they were. For all the good advice of Dr Luntz there are signs of Israeli leaders getting rattled. Mr Netanyahu complained on CNN that Hamas wants “to pile up as many civilian dead as they can” and “to use telegenically dead Palestinians for their cause.” Even the best propaganda machine cannot explain away massacres of civilians as happened in Lebanon at Sabra and Shatila in 1982 and at Qana in 1996 and 2006. http://www.unz.com/pcockburn/israels-propaganda-machine-is-finally-starting-to-misfire/
It very well may have been an Israeli mortar. Whats your point? Your demand that Israel fight this war without any civilian causalities is moronic. Also, for some reason you blame Israel for the losses suffered during this war. This is equally moronic. Why not blame those who started it?
rockets being fired daily into Israel at their civilians and the expansion of terrorist tunnels into Israel. That will start a war with every country in the world.
They both are bad, and I listed the bad things both sides do in this conflict. It doesn't matter which is worse. Israel has lost 3 civilians in this conflict which is horrible. The Palestinians have lost over 1,000.
