As Israel is being condemned for an attack on a UN School, there are a few facts (and videos) being left out of the condemnation. There is an article (and a video) at Little Green Footballs of the terrorists firing mortar shells at Israel from this school. The date of the video is October of 2007. How long was Israel supposed to let Hamas fire rockets at her without firing back? I heard the Hamas whining described on the radio today as "the he-hit-me-back defense". Anyone who has raised children has probably heard that argument at some point. Generally speaking, it doesn't work on Mom, and it shouldn't work on the world community.
Another example of the propaganda war that is going on is related at Power Line Blog. According to thier post:
"Public television network France 2 has admitted that earlier today, it showed photos of dozens of bodies of members of Hamas and civilians who it said were killed in an Israeli bombing raid on January 1. Only problem: the photos were actually taken in 2005, and the people depicted were killed not by Israel, but when "a truck full of explosives blew up in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp." The terrorists, in other words, blew themselves up accidentally and took a number of civilians with them."
