A new film, “The Truth About Gaza,” contests the establishment media’s coverage of the violent incursion at the Gaza border May 14, which took place on the 70th anniversary of what the Palestinian’s call “Nakba Day,” or the “Day of Catastrophe,” in which an estimated 700,000 Arabs fled their homes as Arab nations attacked Israel upon its independence.
Shaw says in the 22-minute film’s opening that while he was in Israel he “investigated the reality of the Palestinian situation and Hamas, and found “it’s nothing like the news media portrays, and I’m so tired of the biased reporting that I’ll try to show you what is really going on.”
He found, as have others, that the Palestinians are “being forced into acting on behalf of Hamas, a terrorist organization,” through intimidation and, at times, monetary rewards.
“Hamas doesn’t care about whether (Palestinians) they live or die. All they care about is killing Jews in Israel.”
Shaw interviews Dan Gordon, a reserve combat infantry officer with the Israel Defense Forces, who said was on a hill watching as Hamas operatives were “literally pushing” Palestinian civilians toward the border fence, telling them Israeli soldiers already have fled, “Go charge the fence.”
“We had 40,000 Palestinians facing us on [May 14],” he said, who included Hamas terrorists armed with incendiary kites and a variety of firearms and bombs, and camouflaged by smoke created by burning tires.
“They were firing live fire at us, and I’m talking about automatic weapons, grenade launchers. They were planting pipe bombs and IEDs along the fences. We caught them in the act. I was right there when one of them went off.”

When will Hamas realize that they’re wasting their time attacking Israel, which believes in defending itself, when they could instead be taking over the world by throwing firebombs and hand grenades at entities which CONDEMN defending oneself, such as the New York Times in its Israeli coverage, the Washington Post, college campuses, and sanctuary cities like San Francisco which allow anyone in including violent criminals?

That's a bit of spin, even right there -- the third world was still relying on shortwave radio in 1948, and the various racist Arab regimes broadcast a call for Arabs to get out of the way of the invading Arab armies. Those who did mostly didn't go back, or were talked into staying, or not permitted to leave their "refugee camps". Thanks rktman.
Currently reading a 5 part series (historical fiction) called Zion Chronicles by Bodie Thoene. First out in 1988. Lots of actual participants used. Funny thing is a character called Yassar ‘Fatar’ is related to haj Amin al huseinni. Gotta believe the author changed ‘Arafat’ since he was still around at the time. Interesting read.
