The Associated Press is at the Gaza border. Watch the slide show, read the reporting and you'll notice instantly how different this is from the propagandist junk Reuters has been offering.

Go ahead. (Caution contains no weeping women or wide-eyed children)

Now you can, if you wish, go back to the Reuters Hamas Fantasyland.

If you really like heavy-handed propaganda, here's a link to Iranian Press TV...[news.google.com]

and, of course, Today, The Guardian features yet another "Weeping Women" to try to mis-define Gaza.

Lets keep having the same argument over and over.

---

There's no argument. I am showing you their new propaganda pictures they grind out on a daily basis. The Associated Press article and slide show are even greater additional evidence of your refusal to accept the facts here.

All you have is same tired broken drums you feel compelled to beat. No evidence at all. None.

Dehumanization, death, and destruction on both sides.

A pity that the Gaza residents are trapped in their land since the 1990's, in the third most populated territory on the planet, with limited access to resources. I guess they deserve it, after all. Right ?

A further pity that the "Israel is always right forever" people don't see the completely unsustainable nature of the situation of the population in Gaza. I can only hope that the people involved see each other as human beings. But that ain't happening.

When the Israelis left Gaza there was no blockade. It was only after Hamas overthrew the Palestinian Authority government there that having a fanatic terrorist group in charge next door was too much for the Israelis and the Egyptians.
This was later borne out by the attack tunnels and many thousands of rockets Hamas has launched towards Israeli towns in 2 wars and numerous cross border attacks on IDF troops. The Egyptians don't like Hamas supporting the Sunni fanatic groups in Sinai either.

(By the way, the last Hamas rocket war on Israel was only 3 1/2 years ago. If you remember, they were using their 'citizens' as human shields and cannon fodder, the same basic tactic they are using today.)

Hey, I've got a great idea. How about if Hamas holds an election, permits freedom of speech, freedom of the press and other things they repress. After all it's only been since 2007.
(Similarly, I'd like to note that PA President Abbas in now in the 12th year of his 4 year term over on the West Bank. Ah, Palestinian Democracy, there's nothing quite like it!)

I would like to point out that what I am posting about is the deliberate twisting and false portrayal in pictures and reporting by Reuters, The Guardian and their pals in Russia and Iran. Those daily pictures on Reuters are featured to dupe the gullible. A pity we see evidence of it here.

Here's the latest REUTERS 'heroic youth' slide show==> [www.reuters.com]

Notice the difference?



Liberated Hamas woman posed as 'heroic'
(that's how they like their wimmens)

The Guardian "20 Photographs of the Week" Are these really 3 of the best photos in the entire world this week? Or another Guardian propaganda dump?

Tuesday: Today's Jew-Freak photo from Reuters.


An Ultra Orthodox Jewish man looks at an Israeli Air Force aerobatic team flying in formation during a rehearsal for an aerial show for Israel's 70th Independence Day celebrations, in Jerusalem.

...because all Jewish Israelis are middle-aged men with beards and funny hats. (Surprise! 90% of Israeli Jews are not extreme Orthodox and they dress like you and me. Reuters wants you think otherwise...as usual)
