The narrative surrounding Hamas being to first to “violate” the 72-hour ceasefire is taking a strange turn today, with Israel claiming that their own ground troops were in the process of attacking a Hamas tunnel when they were “attacked” by the Hamas fighters inside that same tunnel.
Among the attackers, according to the Israeli military, was a suicide bomber, who killed two Israeli soldiers. A third soldier was reportedly “captured” by other Hamas fighters, though since those fighters died in Israeli shelling it is unclear if the Israeli soldier survived.
Hamas, for their part, reported the ceasefire was actually violated by Israeli tanks before the tunnel clash, when they opened fire in southern Gaza, killing four people including a Reuters photographer.
Israel seems to be basing their own “Hamas violated first” story on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s promise to keep attacking tunnels with or without a ceasefire, implying that the attacks on the tunnels shouldn’t be a surprise and shouldn’t themselves count as a violation.
Has it ever been any different ? Always the lie ” Palestinians attack Israel defends ” ignore the nakba,ignore the border wars , ignore the Suez crisis, ignore the Israeli destruction of the Egyptian Air Force in’67, ignore the serial invasions of Lebanon ignore the creeping theft of Palestinian land and resources ignore the 7 year siege of Gaza ignore the rampage in the West Bank after the deaths of 3 israelis ( at least. 12 Palestinians killed )ignore the strike on Hamas PRIOR to rocket launches ignore all the easily available evidence that Israel is a terrorist state, serial violator of international law and the laws of war blame the victim. Remember this violence NEVER starts with the oppressed.
SO IN FACT IT WAS ISREAL WHO BROKE THE TRUCE.
Or are they so "pervertard that they rightfull y THINK that they can attack during the truce whilst the Palestinians are not permitted to defend themselves.
" A hell of a truce that is. Similar to their "pin point" attacks that have killed thousands of innocents.
This war mad state deserves to be sent into oblivion.
I hope the Iranians are taking note of what happens if they cannot defend themselves against Obama and Netanyahu..
Netanyahu’s promise to keep attacking tunnels with or without a ceasefire,
If that wasn't part of the ceasefire agreement, then he told you he intended to violate the ceasefire.
…and the world will nod their heads and agree that yes, Israel did not violate the ceasefire because he never agreed to stop destroying the tunnels…and because the Israelis claim the tunnels are everywhere, well, of course, the "ceasefire" only applied to the Palestinians…and the rest of the world nods their heads and agrees, again.
But it nicely gave Obama and Kerry another welcome excuse to put the attacks on hospitals and schools behind them and go all-in with violence-as-a-first-resort once more. They were way out of their comfort zone for a few days there.
Maybe the onlooking IDF soldiers now grasp the quandary of a worm on a hook? No home-cooking or blue skies will be greeting you.
Netanyahu is playing his cards with a ace up his sleeve, but the mainstream media along with Kerry is looking at that ace and can't tell that's its there for cheating. How can you have a ceasefire and continue to carry out military offensive in enemy territory?
And the worst thing: Israel managed to fool the EU, the US, the UN and all news outlets into admitting that it was Hamas who broke the cease fire.
There's just no limit to their demonic power.
He who goes into the hole of a mole, MUST expect to meet the mole. Moral of the story: Stay on your own side of the fence. Long live Palestina !
For Israel, there is always, always an exception they think. Since they believe they are God's chosen people, they need answer to no one.
I believe,under the current circumstances that Israel's alleged "Right to exist" should be reassessed.Claims that God gave them Palestine are bollocks,as we all know.The English gave it to them,without even owning it.They now sit silently by as descendants of the original owners are slaughtered en masse.
