A thought on Gaza

bb2

When we deal with the Israeli/Gaza situation, most people will claim that whether right or wrong, Israel’s attack on Gaza was motivated by the deaths of three Israeli teens.

What most do not remember, and this does not justify revenge killing, is that the week before these deaths, Israeli police had killed 5 Palestinian kids who were simply out on the street.

Yes, outrage at the deaths of the three Israeli teens was justifiable, but only as long as what was presented to the public was actually the facts.

Presenting this as an act of Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed,  “Hamas is responsible, and Hamas will pay”, and then the present bombing and raids began.

But now, officials admit the kidnappings were not Hamas’s handiwork after all, but that of an independent group acting on their own, and Israel knew this for quite some time.

What was ignored was that first, this killing would be a really foolish act by Hamas who would have known a more powerful Israel would act, or overreact, and second, such an act would jeopardize the agreement to form a unity government with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the West Bank.

It has been found that Israeli intelligence knew that the boys were dead shortly after their disappearance, but promoted the idea that they might be found alive. It kept the story on the front page, whereas announcing that they were dead would have ended the story.

Israel’s actions during the supposed search for the three teens kept the public fired up, even though they had already been found, and the search was mere theater.

When the “Aha Moment” came, that point at which the teens were finally “discovered” dead,  public opinion had been manipulated and the public was whipped up to a frenzy that would blindly accept Israel’s “justified” response.

The manipulated suspense had created anger.

But it hasn’t ended. This manipulation and playing the public continues.

I was in Oklahoma City when the Murrah building was blown up.

There was a rumor that ordinance had been secretly and dangerously stored in the basement of the building in the down town area, which explained the severity of an explosion that was bigger than what the known explosives would have produced.

There were discussions about the crater that was left, and questions why the building had to be imploded before those with the questions could thoroughly investigate.

Professional people were asking about the differences between a single bomb on the street creating an explosion and a crater, and the crater that would have been created if ordinance below street level had produced a secondary explosion.

When I have seen the rockets hitting the homes, schools, and hospitals where the Israelis claim Hamas is storing rockets and other ordinance, I have yet to see the secondary explosions that would be cause by igniting what is suppose to be stored at these locations.

And, no one covering the explosions on the news has referred to the secondary explosions that the stored ordinance would cause either.

I admit I am not an expert in this field, but being in Oklahoma City in 1995 and hearing the questions and discussions  that took place does make a person conscious of things they might otherwise not be even remotely aware of.

I also wonder if, after constantly claiming the schools and hospitals were only bombed because they had been places for ordinance storage, the Israeli’s thought they could hide behind that when they bombed a U.N. refuge.

Did they think people would just let it slide?

Leaving Hamas out of the cease fire discussions, and ignoring what they said would make a cease fire acceptable, Israel and Egypt created an agreement they had to know Hamas would reject solely to get that rejection so as to justify Israel’s further actions.

John Kerry is trying for another cease fire, and is including Hamas in the discussions this time.

“We are working toward a brief seven days of peace. Seven days of a humanitarian ceasefire in honor of Eid in order to be able to bring people together to try to work to create a more durable, sustainable ceasefire for the long (term),” Kerry said.

Unfortunately, John Kerry’s plan for a cease fire may also be rejected. Israel, which didn’t get its way with the last cease fire, is opposing this one because it addresses some of Hamas’s demands.

So the outrage and support of Israel’s actions were based on false information and manipulation.

If Israel’s intentions were correct and its actions justified, why did Bebe manipulate public sentiment with a false narrative?

And there is a part of me that wonders if Gaza’s Simply being in the way of Israel getting to the gas reserves under the ocean floor just beyond the beaches of Gaza might have a part in all this?
