Israel’s Ambassador Dermer on Gaza Child Deaths: ‘I Have No Doubt Hamas Was Celebrating ...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3182078/posts
Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, said on Thursday he is certain that Hamas terrorists rejoiced in the deaths of four children killed on Wednesday in Gaza when the IDF targeted a “nearby shipping container used in the past by Hamas security forces,” according to a witness.
“I have no doubt that Hamas was celebrating when these children were killed,” he told CNBC’s John Harwood. “No one in Israel was celebrating when these children were killed.”
Confronted about charges that Israel is using “vastly, disproportionate force” in its war against Hamas, Dermer said the Jewish state does everything possible to avoid civilian casualties but that sometimes mistakes happen.
“We drop fliers, send text messages, make phone calls… And even though we’ll make the most surgical attacks possible, sometimes we get it wrong and sometimes there’s a mistake and we regret the loss of any civilian lives,” he said.
“Imagine you would have over 200 million Americans who would be in bomb shelters and they would have a 1,000 rockets fired at them from contiguous territory, from a terror organization. Do you think the American military or the American government would use less force than Israel is using now?” he added. “I don’t think anyone can seriously tell me that.”
Here’s my SHUT UP! post.
A post I made on another thread about false supporters of Israel ... to some genocidal maniacal poster ...

Anyone who is one of those “faux supporters” of a Israel who urges Israel to commit WAR CRIMES when Israel denies these false accusations should SHUT UP and go crawl back into that hole where they got those genocidal ideas!

Israel ambassador to U.S. Jews: Hamas winning war of public opinion
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3181017/posts
NEW YORK — Ambassador Ron Dermer, Israel’s chief diplomatic representative in the U.S., asked some 700 American Jews on a conference call this week for their help shifting the messaging on Israel. Israel is being routinely portrayed in both conventional and social media as an angry, well-armed giant leaving many innocent victims in its wake during the current crisis with Hamas, Dermer said.
The call was organized by the Jewish Federations of North America, which this week sent federation leaders to visit targeted towns in Israel, and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. Dermer told his audience that Hamas may be winning the war over public opinion, as Israel is vilified for the civilian casualties its bombs cause in Gaza, while Hamas is not being blamed for instructing Palestinians to stay in their homes – even when they have been warned by the IDF that the locations will be bombed imminently.
“Hamas is putting its missile batteries and command centers next to schools and hospitals. That is a major war crime. While we are doing everything possible to keep civilians out of harms way, Hamas is trying to put their people into harms way. Gaza’s interior minister said people should ignore warnings and go back into their homes. We are taking action to minimize to the greatest extent possible number of civilian casualties, they are doing everything to maximize it.”

We need to make ABSOLUTELY CLEAR when we talk about and support Israel, that it is NOT engaging in a GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN against the Palestinian civilians - but that it’s HAMAS who is.
We must be STRONGLY EMPHATIC that Israel does NOT COMMIT WAR CRIMES against Palestinian civilians and explain the ways that Israel goes about avoiding collateral damage, while strongly attacking Hamas and its missiles that are flying into Israel.
If you believe that Israel should commit war crimes and engage in a GENOCIDAL CAMPAIGN against Palestinians — then just SHUT UP! ... because you’re doing Israel no favor with your genocidal talk!
How very 1930s of them.
US Jews finally waking up over ‘Washington Post’ and liberal hatred for Jews and Israel?
If only.
US Jews voted Obama in mass.
Now they can kiss my ass.
Here’s a running account of news reports related to these recent events with Israel and Hamas. If you want to catch up on the news accounts ... they are here ...

It’s listed from newest to oldest, so go to the bottom to start.
It is outrageous, but over 90% of American Jews will be there for the Democrat party when it’s election time. It’s as sad as watching black Americans, the victims of so many idiotic and unhelpful Democrat policies, nonetheless doing the Democrats bidding without regard to the outcome. We can only hope that through perseverance of conservatives and self-interests both American Jews and blacks that they’ll see that the Democrats are not serving them well.
Another day, another blood libel.
The enemies of humanity are playing the so called “media” like an old guitar. I believe that anyone associated with the ‘media’ should be given a piss test, a psychological test and an I.Q. test BEFORE they are allowed to work in the “media”. JMO. There are way to many drooling idiots out there spreading propaganda for those who would rather kill them than look at them.
A classic. Very like the anti-Jewish cartoons published in Saudi Arabia or Nazi Germany - a guy with a Star of David armband harming/killing a cute child.
Classically, the Jew is depicted with an exceptionally ugly appearance, but in this case they get a twofer by making him look like Netanyahu - bash all Jews, and demonize the conservative to promote the future leftist candidate within Israel.
The anti-israel critics are no longer hiding their anti-jew hatred.
The cartoon should be showing palis hiding behind children as they fire at Israel.
The Washington Post cartoon is a hate crime.
Netanyahu has bent over backwards trying to safeguard human life. Hamas on the other hand puts military ordinance next to elementary schools ... to use children as shields.
"It is disgusting that The Washington Post would present an animated cartoon that is so profoundly removed from the truth," said Cooper.You want they should write news that is profoundly removed from the truth? Oh, wait.
Except for a few years immediately after World War II, anti-Semitism has always been fashionable in high circles and low.
History comes full circle.
I stand with Israel but with very few exceptions like Mark Levin, US Jews and eat it.
I hand delivered information to some Jewish acquaintances of ours sharing FACTS on Obama’s support of the Palestenian cause. They still voted for him and proudly kept their Obama sign in their yard. The Jewish support of Obama reminds me of the Jews that supported Hitler. Craziness.
The antisemites/leftist are not even trying to hide it anymore.
They’ll have to comet through this Scot/Irish white trash.
Neighborhood Bully - Bob Dylan
Well the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man
His enemies say he’s on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully, he just lives to survive
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
Not supposed to fight back and have thick skin
Supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He’s wandered the earth, an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, people hounded and torn
He’s always on trial for just being born
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said, “He should apologize”
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, ain’t nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him, he was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him
There’s a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him given out to every maniac
He’s the neighborhood bully
But he got no allies to really speak of
But he gets, he must pay for, he don’t get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won’t be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he’s surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now they wouldn’t hurt a fly, to hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He’s the neighborhood bully
Every empire that’s enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He’s made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no ones command
He’s the neighborhood bully
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully
What’s anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin’, they say, he just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
Neighborhood bully
What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still, neighborhood bully
