Here’s the summary:

1) Hamas: Let’s attack an Israeli military outpost!
2) Hamas: Let’s kidnap a 19-year-old Israeli soldier!
3) Palestinians: Let’s celebrate! Hamas militants kick ass!
4) Israel: Release the boy, or else
5) Palestinians: No way
6) Hamas: No way
7) Hamas: (Gloats and prepares for battle)
Israel: (Launches massive offensive in the Gaza Strip)
9) Israel: (Totally defeats the Palestinians, and captures 60 Hamas leaders)
10) Hamas + Palestine: Oppression! Oppression! Zionist aggression!!

Note: Mainstream media will be quite likely to harp on and on about parts (8) to (10) only in the coming days, with no indication of events (1) to (7) being precedents. The UN will condemn Israel’s actions and totally scratch their heads if told that there was an Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas that triggered this battle.

And people will be talking about how Palestinians are always the victims, the media is controlled by Zionists and Jews, and the United Nations is a Zionist/American mouthpiece.

Huh?

Speak of Gaza, what happened to that beach incident? There was all that hoo-haa about Israel shelling the beach (with minimal mention that it’s a counter-attack to Hamas’ Qassam attacks). And then there’s that Human Rights Watch preliminary investigation that saw a Left-Wing ex-Pentagon staff claiming that a shrapnel on the beach says "155mm", consistent with Israeli weapons (though he did not perform forensics analysis to see the AGE of that shrapnel).

And then, the Israeli military conducted a meticulous investigation (of course, after apologizing and taking the blame first) and concluded that it’s not caused by their artillery, which the HRW’s second investigation agreed with, and the HRW investigator arrived at the same conclusion as the Israeli military.. hardly any news in the mainstream media about this retraction. And as expected, no apology from Hamas or Palestinians.

And the Jews control the media? Huh?

Palestinians said that they want self-determination in their own state, and urged Israel to return to behind the Green Line, or the pre-1967 Armistice Line.

Last I checked, the Gaza wihtdrawal took Israel back to behind the Green Line, and the entire Gaza Strip that’s in Palestinian control right now is the same Gaza Strip territory before the 1967 war.

And yet, Palestinians are launching attacks on Israel to push them further in. This sort of dishonourable double-speak is a prime characteristic of the Palestinians, especially among their leaders who would say some sugar-coated words in English to declare to the world that they’re about ‘peace’ and ‘diplomacy’, and then switching to Arabic to describe how they would send all the Jews into the sea and reinstate a Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire beginning in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.

Yeah, the Palestinians are the victims. Yeah, Israel is the oppressor who wants nothing but war. Yeah, the Palestinians are peace-loving and have been shafted by the world’s powers after World War 2. Yeah, the Jews control the world. The Zionists own every media outlet in the world. It’s the media that demonizes Palestinians and those like them. They’re freedom fighters, not terrorists. Yeah right.

It’s not surprising that a recent study have shown a massive decrease in support and sympathy for the Palestinians all over the world. Perhaps people are wising up towards their myths of victimhood, blatant lies and fabricated ‘news’.. and of course, the fact that they employ state terrorism towards perceived threats within and without Palestine.
