Now that's what I call propaganda
After years and years of rockets raining down on civilians in Israeli towns bordering Hamas controlled Gaza Strip, after years and years of Hamas bragging each time one of those rockets manages to do damage and Hamas celebrations when they manage to take a life and after years and years of continued threats of additional rockets to be shot into Israel from Hamas leadership, we get this...
Don't bother rubbing your eyes, you read that right. Hamas leadership is now attempting to claim that it was Israel that has ordered collaberators inside Gaza to shoot rockets into Israel in order to have an excuse to attack innocent Hamas and to kill innocent Palestinians who only wanted to keep the truce with Israel and have peace in the Middle East.
SIEGEL: But, wasn't the response of firing rockets into Israel…
Mr. YUSUF: There is no - actually, when we…
SIEGEL: Wasn't that guaranteed to bring on this retaliation by the Israelis?
Mr. YUSUF: No. No. This has nothing to do with firing rockets because there is no rockets fired. There are collaborators, sometimes they fire based on the Israeli asking them maybe to fire some of these home-made projectiles. They know that Hamas did their best to protect the border and not to let anybody firing rockets.
SIEGEL: But you're saying that when rockets have been fired out of Gaza, you're saying that those are being fired by Israeli collaborators whom the Israelis are arranging for them to do that, so that…
Mr. YUSUF: Actually, we all - let me try me to check if there is anybody actually - we check with those political and militant group who are really showing their commitment. And when we check, well, they - all them denied any of them been firing rockets. So, who been firing these rockets? We don't have an explanation except from those Israeli collaborators. So, we told them, we would like to keep this cease-fire and keep the - stop their aggression and also opening the gate. Hamas is willing to keep the cease-fire, and we are willing to extend it to another six months, but we need a commitment from the Israeli side.
Unfortunately, all the time they deceive the world community by claiming many things, and unfortunately, we are the people who really suffering, and this air strike they targeting everything, universities, mosques, schools, civilian home, residential areas, and also all the governmental building, which has nothing to do with these firing rockets as they keep claiming.
SIEGEL: The United Nations reported that, out of more than 300 Palestinian deaths, there were a little bit over 50 civilians. Does that mean that many Hamas gunmen and many Hamas officials have been killed in these Israeli strikes?
Mr. YUSUF: There are many people, actually, from the police force, because they targeting all the police station, which has nothing to do with all what they claim the firing rockets or anything of this. This is the police force who tried to keep the state of security, enforcing the state of law. And this kind of aggression is against international law. It is a crime against humanity.
I just can't stand that my tax dollars goes to support NPR and they use it to promote terrorist propaganda like this. It horrifies me to know that somewhere out there, there are idiots sitting at their kitchen table, fermenting the kind of hatred in their hearts for Jews that prompts them to go out into the streets of America and burn down synagogues, paint swastikas on Yeshivas and beat innocent Jewish people in the streets.
Just the other day, an elderly woman on Miami Beach first admired the Star of David I wear on a chain around my neck and then kindly suggested that I put it under my shirt, because perhaps it is not a such good time to be wearing it. I told her I understood how she felt, and not to worry, I was just sorry it was so small. She reminded me of my Grandmother, who worried about such things back in Brooklyn when I was growing up.
Thanks to media outlets like the NPR, who are more than happy to promote terrorist propaganda and to present Israel in the worst possible way, there is violence against Jews in America, and ignorant idiots stand side by side in support of terrorists and promote genocide and murder in the streets of America.
It sounds outrageous, yes, I know, but if you read arabic, you would see for yourself the truth in that statement, and now, thanks to a post found At the back of the hill, you can see the truth in that statement:
You would see your fellow Americans, you would see your friends, and your neighbors standing with people holding signs, perhaps even holding signs themselves, signs that say things like "Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea" - which frankly states the intent to destroy the Jewish state and ethnically cleanse the land of Jews. That my friends, is genocide. If that wasn't bad enough well, you might see them with signs that say "Falastin balad'na w'al Yahud qalab'na" which translates to say "Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs." Is that something you agree with? No? Maybe you might agree with "ba ruh, ba dam, nafdeek ya Falastin" which translates to say "with our soul, with our blood, we will cleanse you oh Palestine." Now, that's something every American can agree with, yes? With your soul and your blood, you will cleanse Palestine of Jews.
Then again, there is the standard "Itbach al Yahud" which translates to say "slaughter the Jews." Slaughter, now, you know what that means, don't you? And of course, "al mawt al Yahud" which translates to say "death to the Jews." Another fine sentiment for the streets of America, perhaps part of the American dream?
This is what you see on the streets of America, and it's not something that has appeared overnight. I saw it in 2006, when Americans held up signs that said "We are all Hezbollah" in support of the same brand of terrorism as Hamas, different name, same terror.
As I said in my comment over At the Back of the Hill, violence against Jews in America is not new, and it did not begin all of a sudden with this latest Operation against the Hamas.
Just last month, a young man with three children was beaten in the streets of Bal Harbour, Florida, only a few miles from my home, for the crime of being Jewish. He was attacked only because he was wearing kippot.
Broken glass was placed in a Yeshiva playground sandbox in Philadelphia back in June of 2008. In May of 2008, they painted swastikas on a Parkland Florida Synagogue.
The Holocaust Memorial in SanFran was defaced this month, but it has been defaced before the Israelis began this operation.
Swastikas were drawn on a sidewalk and the walls of a Yeshiva in my neighborhood over this past summer and a Chabad House on Miami Beach was gutted by arson last year.
So. The terrorists shoot their rockets into Israel and I am always telling my friends who live there how worried I am for them, that they are surrounded by people who hate them. And they say, But not everyone, not everyone hates us, and we love each other.
And these attacks happen here, like the one in Bal Harbour, and my friends, they say to me, Linda, we are so worried about you living there in Miami where these terrible attacks on Jews are happening. They say to me, "You are surrounded by people who hate you." And I say to them, but not everyone hates us, and we love each other.
Am Yisrael Chai. We live. Here, and there. We live.
Finally, to all of you people out there protesting the Israeli rockets being shot into Gaza, if you feel a need to defend yourself and your support of terrorism and genocide of Jews on the streets of America, before you do so here, you must first answer one question, where have you been for all of these past years while thousands of rockets have been shot from Gaza into Israel?
I ask because I have not seen you on the street with your signs, protesting the terrorist acts aimed at innocent Israeli civilians, I have not seen you protesting Hamas rockets aimed directly at homes and schools and playgrounds and cities and towns. I have not heard your cries of outrage, your demands for sanctions or for international action. In fact, the rockets have been falling in Israeli towns for years and I have heard nothing from you about it.
But even worse, rather than hearing you say "stop the genocide of Jews," instead, I have seen you on the streets of America holding signs promoting the genocide of Jews, so before you say anything at all in my comments, first answer that question, because without a straight, honest and forthright explanation as to your actions, you have no moral standing to say anything at all about anything at all.

Linda, you are so right in what you stated and it is a shame that this Islamofascist brainwashing is spreading across the United States to an all too gullible public from the likes of a supportive NPR and the New York Times. The following is something that I posted on your friend's Theodore's World blog that may be of interest to your readers.
Poll: 62% of Republicans support Gaza strikes — and just 31% of Democrats.

Israel and others who seek peace and are fighting Islamofascist terrorists have a lot to fear from Barack Obama (Democrat) in the White House and a large majority Democrat run Congress.
All the talk about diplomacy, truce, and cease-fire just shows that these "infidels" still haven't learned the art and tactics of Al-Takeyya (lying for Islam) and Hudna (deceitful cease-fire promises with the intent of breaking them when they are stronger). "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Unfortunately, we are watching history repeat itself as Barack Obama with his Middle East foreign policy and advisors demonstrating that they are not part of the solution but a continuation of the problem.

I submitted a comment on this post a while back, showing that NPR also gives Israeli representatives a chance to speak on this issue, and I haven't seen it posted yet. Could you please release it from moderation? Thanks.
