There is absolutely no doubt that Hamas organized the Gaza demonstrations utilizing armed violence, firebombs and human shields, secure in the knowledge that progressive apologists and media flunkies would shield it from critical scrutiny and provide it with public relations support. This became clear when a baby girl was alleged to have died of asphyxiation in the melee and reporters rushed to blame Israeli tear gas, not parents who (if the story were true) brought an infant into a war zone created by Hamas – a terror organization that intentionally puts women and children at risk. Blaming Israeli soldiers for the girl’s death (which was subsequently reported to have been caused by a blood disease and falsely attributed to Israel, while it was discovered that Hamas had paid the parents to bring her there and claim her death was due to Israel) was simply a restatement of the old calumny that Jews kill children for nefarious purposes.
Press reports of the alleged incident had all the contrivance of Thomas Monmouth’s “The Life and Miracles of St. William of Norwich,” a medieval anti-Semitic screed about the supposed ritual murder of young William of Norwich in 1144, which began a series of libels against the Jews of England that culminated in the Edict of Expulsion in 1290. Apparently, some slanders never grow stale.
With few exceptions, coverage of the violence in Gaza has been slanted by useful idiots in the media to defend Hamas, portray violent demonstrations as peaceful, and advance a revisionist Palestinian narrative that repudiates Israel’s legitimacy and historical antecedents. They have also been complicit in attempts by UNESCO, the Palestinian Authority, and others to erase Jewish history by inter alia validating claims that the Temple never stood in Jerusalem and characterizing landmarks like the Western Wall, the Cave of Patriarchs, and Rachel’s Tomb as “endangered Palestinian heritage sites.”
