A rocket struck the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City on October 17, as Israel launched a counter-offensive against Hamas in response to the Israeli terror organization’s hideous terror campaign against Jewish innocents earlier in the month. Initially, there had been hundreds of fatalities. Hamas and Arab supporters in the media seized the propaganda opportunity to accuse Israel of a surprising war crime before any investigation or compelling evidence had been presented. The Gaza Hospital was depicted in the headline as a semi-demolished building by far-left activists at The New York Times. The scene was completely different from the ones in the pictures that additional establishment outlets had reported. This is due to the fact that the hospital was located in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, no the south, where the demolished building was situated. Some criticized this for being careless and literary malpractice, but it was more than that— it was deliberate propaganda and disinformation. The first Times headline,” Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say ,” wasn’t ideal, according to Helene Cooper, a Pentagon correspondent for the New York Times, on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, another left-wing propaganda outlet. No, no at all. Even some Democrats in politics criticized its” irresponsibility” because it was so far from ideal. However, the New York Times was by no means the even mainstream media outlet to spread the deplorable charge. Along with many others, the extremely antisemitic and far-left BBC also contributed. By assuming that Israel was to blame for the hospital explosion, world leaders like Canada’s autocratic pretty boy Justin Trudeau stoked the fire. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who calls herself” Palestinian American” and flies a Palestinian flag that is the same size as her American flag outside of her congressional office, jumped at the chance to express her outrage over the alleged airstrike on the hospital. A former British member of Parliament claimed that Israel had” forfeited any right to exist.” We cannot continue to watch people think it’s cool to bomb a hospital with children, she sobbed as she addressed the group of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the Capitol.” We are actually watching people commit genocide and kill the large majority just like this, and we still stand by and say nothing ,” she said. We will keep in mind that a Sunni genocide of the Jews in Israel is being attempted. Regarding children being butchered, Tlaib refused to respond when a Fox News reporter followed her down the halls of Congress and asked if she had any thoughts on the Jewish children who had been killed by Hamas on October 7. Because when it comes to Israel, no smear is very grotesque or misguided, and no evidence exonerating Israel could possibly suffice, there was immediate outrage directed at Israel regarding the Gaza hospital. Israel’s detractors had no intention of letting the facts obstruct the mental truth, so the evidence was useless. Thousands of furious Muslims were quickly inspired by the accusations against Israel to take to the streets in major cities across Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Tunisia, Jordan, Iran, Yemen, and another Muslim-majority nations, not to mention the rest of the Western world. A hundred thousand protesters filled the streets of London while chanting their fervent support for Hamas and the Israeli people, some of whom were waving ISIS flags. Related scenes of sizable, sometimes violent anti-Israel protests were held in Sydney, New York City, and other locations. The hospital explosion was caused by a misfired rocket intended to kill Israeli civilians, and by the time the IDF presented undeniable proof that the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad( PIJ ) terror group was to blame, the media damage had already been done. According to the IDF’s operating system analysis, an enemy rocket barrage was launched at Israel at the time of the hit, passing close to a hospital. The failed shooting that hit the hospital is allegedly the fault of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization, according to intelligence information we have from a number of sources. Yet the first estimate of 500 dead was madly away, according to after reporting from the AFP( via Times of Israel ). According to a top Western intelligence source, the explosion may have killed up to 50 people. Where are all the bodies, an IDF spokesman questioned? U.S. intelligence assessments put the potential number of casualties higher — between 100 and 300 — but in any case, there were not 500 fatalities, and Israel was not at fault. Anyone who isn’t blinded by anti-Israel bloodlust is aware that Israel does no target hospitals and may be more diligent than any other military in the world in preventing human deaths. However, facts, evidence, fairness, and truth will not be able to appease Israel’s and the Jews’ enemies. They operate in a frenzy of self-righteousness, social Communist brainwashing, and totalitarian hatred for Jews and Israel, leaving the realm of reason far behind. No Israeli, including any old person, woman, or child, is stupid in their eyes because Israel is an evil agent of settler colonialism. All of them oppress the so-called Israeli people, and oppressors can only be overthrown through violent resistance, such as cruel raids on unarmed civilians, which is then attributed to Israeli intransigence. Israel is damned in the eyes of the world if she does it or not. In either case, she consistently assumes the antagonistic role in the media narrative. Even though the Jewish state had nothing to do with the hospital explosion, Lawrence O’Donnell, a host for the MSNBC network, said on his program The Next Word that Israel needed to exercise even greater restraint and caution regarding civilian casualties because” it is only about perception that they have to be very much troubled about.” If just the media would inform islamist organizations of the unfavorable perception that terrorism is giving them. Israel and her allies should stop caring about the media tale and global opinion long ago. It’s time for the Israeli state to ignore her detractors and take all necessary steps to subdue her adversaries and ensure both her survival and her well-being. One of the world’s most valiant and effective fighting forces is the IDF. Israeli people have a long history of bravery, faith, and tenacity. Egyptian adversaries have been vanquished by the overmatched small democracy of the Middle East in the past and will do so once more. To paraphrase the well-known proverb about war, the first casualty of media reporting on Israel is the truth, so fighting the media narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a war Israel cannot win. The unholy alliance of the Socialist left and Muslim fundamentalists, as David Horowitz refers to it, is not served by the truth. When it comes to shouting the murderous chant,” From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free ,” this radical group of radicals who hold very different worldviews( such as those on gender ideology ) stand shoulder to shoulder. Due to the fact that Israel’s adversaries are the West itself, that alliance poses an existential threat to our civilization. Their victory over Israel even deals the West a fatal blow. Their plan needs to be thwarted. Mark Tapson can be found at Culture Warrior.
On October 17, Israel launched a counter-offensive to Hamas following the terror attack by the Palestinian terror group against Israelis earlier in the same month. A rocket hit the Ahli Baptist Hospital, located in Gaza City. Initial reports claimed that hundreds of people had been killed. Hamas and Palestinian supporters used the propaganda opportunity before any investigation or conclusive proof had been presented to blame Israel for an shocking war crime. The far-Left activists of The New York Times published a photo showing a semi-demolished structure which the headline suggested might be the Gaza Hospital. The scene was completely different from that shown in other establishment media outlets. The reason is that the building was demolished in a different location in the southern Gaza Strip and not in the northern area, where the hospital was. Others called this irresponsible journalism and malpractice, but the truth is that it was deliberate disinformation and propaganda. Helene Cooper, New York Times Pentagon correspondent, said on MSNBC’s Deadline White House, another left-wing propaganda outlet, that the Times’ original headline, “Israeli strike kills hundreds in hospital, Palestinians say” “wasn’t perfect.” It wasn’t. Even some Democratic politicians criticized the “irresponsibility”. But the New York Times wasn’t the only establishment media outlet to spread this ugly accusation. BBC, a notoriously antisemitic and far Left broadcaster, also chimed in. Justin Trudeau, Canada’s totalitarian handsome boy, fueled the fire by assuming that Israel was responsible for the hospital explosion. Former British MP said that Israel “forfeited its right to exist.” Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib who calls herself a “Palestinian American”, and displays a Palestinian flag equal in size to her American flag outside her congressional office, seized the opportunity to increase outrage over the purported air strikes on the hospital. She told a crowd outside the Capitol of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, “We can’t continue to watch people think that it’s ok to bomb a children’s hospital… We are literally witnessing people commit genocide, killing a large majority, and still standing by and saying nothing.” We will never forget this. “Genocide, yes, is being attempted: a Muslim genocide against the Jews of Israel. When a Fox News reporter asked Tlaib about the Israeli children butchered on October 7th by Hamas, Tlaib refused. The outrage was immediate. Israel’s haters didn’t care about the facts, they only cared about the emotional truth. One hundred thousand demonstrators, many waving ISIS banners, crowded the streets of London, chanting their full support for Hamas. The IDF reported: According to the analysis of IDF’s operating systems, a rocket barrage from the enemy was fired towards Israel and passed near the hospital at the time of impact. According to intelligence information from a variety of sources, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed firing that hit the hospital. Later reporting from AFP (via Times of Israel), revealed that the initial number of 500 deaths was wildly inaccurate. One senior European intelligence official said that he believed that a maximum 50 people were killed by the blast. IDF spokesman asked, “Where are the bodies?” U.S. Intelligence assessments put the number of possible casualties higher, between 100 and 300, but in any event, there were not more than 500 deaths, and Israel was not to blame. Anyone who is not blinded by anti Israel bloodlust knows that Israel doesn’t target hospitals and is perhaps more conscientious in avoiding civilian deaths than other military around the world. The enemies of Israel, the Jews, and the truth will not be pacified with facts, evidence, or fairness. They have abandoned the realm of reason and are instead driven by a frenzy fueled by cultural Marxist brainwashing and a collective hatred of Jews and Israel. In their eyes, Israel, whether it is an elderly woman or a child, is a colonial agent that is evil. All are oppressors against the so-called Palestinians. And oppressors cannot be overthrown without violent resistance. For example, sadistic raids on unarmed civilians that are then blamed on Israeli stubbornness. She is always the villain in the media narrative. It’s time for Israel and its allies to stop caring about the media narrative or world opinion. It’s time to ignore her critics, and do what she can to subdue and defeat her enemies. The IDF is among the most efficient and courageous fighting forces in the entire world. The Jewish people are known for their courage, faith and perseverance. The little Middle East Democracy has defeated its Arab opponents before and will do so again. The truth is not in the interest of what David Horowitz refers to as the unholy alliance between the Marxist leftists and Islamic fundamentalists. The alliance is made up of radicals with very different worldviews, such as gender ideology, but they still stand together when it comes time to shout the genocidal slogan, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.” This alliance is a threat to our civilization because Israel’s enemies also happen to be the enemies of the West. Their victory against Israel would also be a fatal blow to the West. Their agenda must be crushed. Follow Mark Tapson at Culture Warrior.
