Amazing: Finnish reporter tells the truth on rockets fired from Gaza hospital then complains...
American Thinker ^ | 08/04/2014 | Thomas Lifson

Most of the world’s media have dedicated themselves to a narrative fiction that innocent Gazans are being cruelly slaughtered by callous Israelis. When information leaks out that challenges this narrative, they respond with anger, often attempting to cover-up the disclosures.

Some of this may be due to fear of retaliation from Hamas, but some, no doubt, is motivated by anti-Semitism, and peer pressure, as well as editorial policies handed down from the top of their organizations.

Consider the case of Finnish television correspondent Aishi Zidan. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection reports:

We reported on the Finnish reporter who disclosed that there was rocket fire from just behind Gaza’s main hospital, Hamas hides in, under and around Gaza’s main hospital, and the media covers it up (Video):

Also, a rocket attack was conducted from the “backyard” of the hospital at 2 o’clock in the morning. It (the rocket launch), in fact, happened somewhere close by because the noise right here at the hospital area was really loud. Indeed, these rockets launched here from the Gazan side (of the border) are headed into Israel.

The bulk of Ms. Zidan’s report toed the Hamas line, but this disclosure also seeped in to her reporting. She became furious when she was quoted by pro-Israel media, as reported in the Blaze. Sharona Schwartz reports:

A correspondent covering the Gaza conflict for a Finnish media outlet reported seeing a rocket being launched from Gaza City’s main hospital, Shifa, but later lashed out at the pro-Israel media for its “disgusting” use of her report as a “propaganda weapon.”

 (snip)

Zidan took to Facebook this weekend, writing, “Don’t use me as your propaganda weapon.”

This is why I almost never debate a liberal anymore. But I admit to enjoy making them bug out from time to time.

Their inability to use logic and reason is their undoing. That’s what gets them so unhinged.

So when you tell the truth about Islam-o-nazis, it is disgusting propaganda.

But when Muzzies video bleeding children, who they put into harms way, we are supposed to react with hatred and disgust toward Israel.

Oh, I gush about Sarah Palin around known liberals. That sets them right off. Match in a firecracker factory.

Was that the reporter broadcasting live from in front of the hospital when the rocket was fired from the hospital grounds?

Saw a Youtube clip somewhere this morning.

RE: My bad. Aishi is her name and it seemed to come up with those types of references.

Could that be the Finnish version of Aisha? :)

Why do so many young liberal women look like Ben Franklin?? Is it deliberate?

Aishi Zidan....hmmm...
Strange - her name doesn’t sound like any Finnish name I’ve heard before.

A quick check of her LinkedIn page reveals the following background information:
Helsingin yliopisto
Master of Social Science, Sociology and Middle Eastern Studies
2013

ALLC Lebanon
Arabic language
2009

Her history speaks for itself.
