In the Wake of the Ceasefire, Don't Forget: Israel Is the Aggressor | Opinion
Newsweek ^ | May 21, 2021 | Ahmed Twaij

Posted on 05/22/2021 6:02:41 AM PDT by artichokegrower

After nearly two weeks of violence between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza, a ceasefire agreement has finally been reached. But the duration of the ceasefire remains questionable, especially given that the grievances that led up to the most recent conflict persist, and without addressing them, it's only a matter of time before the next wave of violence begins.

Israel must be held to account for the violence against Palestinians. We cannot only call for peace when Hamas fires rockets. Should Israel's oppression of Palestinian rights be allowed to persist, such one-sided calls for peace will only lead to the deepening the blight of Palestinians and further episodes of conflict.


Sorry my image of the Palestinians goes back to the Munich Olympics.

Firing rocket at civilians while hiding behind civilians.

That’s a natural response to political differences.

Gaza was supposed to have no weapons ... such as the
launched 1000s of missiles paid for by US taxpayers
through the IRS, through the DNC, and other corrupt
agencies and secret pathways.

Why repeat the lies of the spirit of antichrist which runs the Delusional Lying Left and its scribes like Newsweek? There is no redeeming value, and those casual observers here on FB might actually believe this lying headline.

Repeating lies only strengthens lies which Hitler and the Lying Left have known all too well. When will the Right get that?

Post the TRUTH about the lies.

The ~142 sq. mi. of Gaza doesn’t have a border with Egypt?

“the violence in the Middle East did not start with Hamas firing rockets from Gaza. It began with police brutality, and it ended with Israeli attacks on Gaza that killed 103 Palestinians, 27 of whom were children.”

What unmitigated BS.

Newsweek is pure propaganda, no real reporting or insight. When will the MSM report or even understand that this “rocket barrage” was financed and the rockets supplied by Iran. It happens about every three years. Iran does it because it needs updated intelligence on the tactics, deployment and capabilities of Israel’s Iron Dome system. Unless Iran can pierce it with their own ballistic missiles, they will have no way to counter effectively and thereby discourage Israel from definitively attacking and destroying their nuclear facilities. Hamas and the Palestinians are sacrificial pawns. Too bad the truth does not fit the globalist narrative, so the MSM will never report or investigate it.

Yet another Palestinian terrorist spewing out garbage, disinformation and propaganda. They’ve been doing that for over 70 years and they are still stuck in hell.

“It’s important to remember that the recent violence in the Middle East is between an oppressor and the victims of oppression.”

Islam is oppression.

“the deepening the blight of Palestinians”

I must agree with the writer here.

“Blight”.

“Sorry my image of the Palestinians goes back to the Munich Olympics.”

That was also my introduction to the Palestinian way of making “peace.”

And shooting up a bus load of kids for one; and the the Maalot massacre by Palestinian terrorist as another operation carried out in an Israeli school in the town of Maalot in Northern Israel, near the Lebanese border. The events took place in May 1974, and culminated on the evening of May 15. 26 people, mostly unarmed high school students, were killed by three Palestinian terrorists.. They’re nothing but animals wearing clothes.

“Newsweek”

Still exists?

After years of this same Horseshiite, one can only wonder why they’ve lost all credibility and readership.
