Israeli military sends aid to Gaza
The Washington Post ^ | 05/15/18

Posted on 05/15/2018 1:35:17 PM PDT by Simon Green

rael says the military has delivered eight trucks full of humanitarian aid and medical supplies to the Gaza Strip, where Israeli troops firing from across the border killed nearly 60 Palestinians at mass border protests on Monday.

Cogat, the military body for Palestinian civilian affairs, said Tuesday it has transferred 53 tons of medical equipment to Gaza this week, including medical fluids, bandages and physical therapy treadmills. It says fuel will be distributed later.

The trucks entered Tuesday, as medical facilities in Gaza were struggling to treat hundreds of people wounded by Israeli fire the day before.

Monday was the bloodiest day in Gaza since the 2014 war between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers. Dozens of people were killed and 2,700 were wounded.

The protests were directed at a crippling blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the Islamic militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007.

Israel says it is defending its border and accuses Hamas of trying to carry out attacks under the cover of the protests.

Why?

I guess it is the humane thing to do. But no way those terrorists would respond in kind.

note how the Nazi WashPost leeds their story.

they are stuck reporting the Israeli humanitarian and medical aid to the Moslem terrorists

but the WashPost manages to completely avoid mentioning that the terrorists attacked Israel first! The only mention the paper makes is that that the IDF shot the terrorists while they were attacking.
AND no mention is made of “terrorists” or “attacking Israel”

The WashPost Nazi propagandists try to create the impression that the IDF just woke up one morning and decided to shoot a bunch of innocent civilians in Gaza, perhaps just for the fun or sport of it.

May the WashPost Nazis Go Straight to Hell. they keep doing this, over and over and over again. Just like how they write propaganda hit pieces all the time, every damned day, against PDJT

WashPost stinks!

Send them a case of aspirins, and tell them to call you in the morning.

In order to that they would have needed to coordinate with somebody in Gaza. I wonder who they go to to pull that off?

It’s a nice gesture that serves multiple purposes. Chief of them is positive propaganda. Second is they’re helping somebody, Third is they have a means to dispose of all their outdated drugs and equipment.

When Israel returned Gaza to the Arabs, Hamas destroyed all the Jewish-developed greenhouses and orchards. Make a lot of sense?

We all know about “Washington Compost” but it sure was funny to hear Hannity call them that on his most recent show.

Attacking Israel for defending their borders against terrorists...... the past 2 generations of US citizens have not lived in war... (except military who have served in war torn countries)... In WWII our soldiers didn't have to “take prisoners” as they walked, wet dirty, living in fox holes, across France or elsewhere in Europe during the war. Today people are weak, dainty, vulnerable as they live in so much comfort here in our America .. and criticize anything that makes them uncomfortable.

These are the enemy. They shouldn't do that. Israel's good little boy image will lead to more antisermitism, as antisemites are bullies and can smell weakness and fear.

When Israel returned Gaza to the Arabs,

Can it really be said that Israel returned Gaza to the Arabs when Israel controls the borders, the commerce, the electricity, water, health care supplies and requires every Gazan to register with the State of Israel at birth?

only half Nu.
NYT is owned by a publicly traded company (but many shares are held by descendants of the Adolph Ochs, who purchased the then-minor-league paper in 1896). The NYT has had an awful anti-Semitic editorial policy, imho, for as long as I can recall...including almost covering up the Holocaust even after it was verified as genuine and pretty widely known..very little coverage and almost no serious editorializing for measures to try to stop or slow it, imho. So, it is probably fair to label NYT a JINO or Erev Rav (Enemy Within) paper, at least in part. About the only good things in NYT today are some crossword puzzles (and a few of the Broadway and Book reviews, tho I don’t get to see the shows and the book reviews tend to be quite leftist slanted often, imho, too, not pure reviews and an apparent blackout against most ‘conservative’ or ‘moderate’ political tomes.
Ask Michael Savage?
WashPost is owned by Jeff Bezos. Bezos is Christian.
so, I am willing to score you a half a Nu.
