Neoconservative master propagandist Jonathan Tobin
writing in Commentary today says about the current crisis that “Hamas
set events in motion last month when some of its operatives kidnapped and
murdered three Israeli teenagers and then escalated the conflict by shooting
several hundred rockets into the Jewish state from its Gaza stronghold”.
Rubbish.
It was Israel that set events in motion when IDF snipers shot dead
Gazan civilians during the months preceding the current crisis. A number of
those randomly murdered were farmers tending fields close to the border with
Israel. One of the dead was a mentally ill woman who was shot dead after
wandering too close to the fence separating the Gaza from Israel.
On top of that, there is no evidence that Hamas had anything to do with
the killings of the three Israeli youths murdered in the West Bank.
Also ignored by Tobin are the deaths of five Palestinian youths shot
dead in the West Bank by Israeli snipers before the three Israeli killings.
While I’m not suggesting here that one set of deaths in any way justifies
another set of deaths, I am saying that it is important to present the chronology
of events in the correct order before anyone attempts to pervert reality with
outright lies.
