Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, with yet another distortion of truth.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/03/israel-air-strike-un-school-gaza-rafah Gaza school attack denounced as 'criminal act' by UN      Lt. Col. Peter Lerner. Israeli spokesperson.   Lt. Col Peter Lerner is lying (again). It seems that Israeli forces targeted 3 militants on a motor cycle. In an interview shown on Aljazeera Television, Lerner says that the extensive damage to the UN school and the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians, was probably as a result of the "militants" carrying explosives. The UN school was being used as a shelter for 3000 civilians.       United Nations school sheltering displaced people                

IDF takes revenge on Rafah, but Hadar Goldin was "killed in action"

                  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israelgaza-conflict-at-least-100-dead-in-24-hours-in-rafah-9644624.html  At least 100 dead in 24 hours in Rafah 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin   Now that the authorities have established that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin was in fact killed in action, rather than being "kidnapped" by Hammas or any of the other Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, will we now see some sort of apology from Obama, Ban Ki-Moon, Cameron or any of the western leaders who were so quick to leap onto the band wagon of "condemning in the strongest terms" or "demanding the immediate unconditional release", or any of the other frenzied clamour which filled our media and news reports for most of yesterday? Somehow, I doubt it, as the purpose of the hysteria has now been fulfilled. Obama, Cameron and the other pro Israel leaders, were able to divert atte...

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, with a distorted truth

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the Israeli Defence Forces spokesman  lied during television interview. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner IDF Spokesman Yesterday, 1st August 2014, I wrote, under the title of “Israel has a very warped understanding of a ceasefire", a Blog post criticising Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the Israeli Defence Forces spokesman for essentially lying when being interviewed on the breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza. This criticism generated some response, not least in the Huffington Post where one poster using the name Bjorn (Bjorn_Ag), wrote Unless you are aware of the terms of the agreement how can you define the destruction of the tunnels as 'aggression'? Do you know the terms of the agreement? To suggest that one side would be allowed to continue with aggression whilst the other be expected to remain subservient, suggests that you don't. The alternative of course is that Ham as failed to read the agreement properly before signing it. How st...

A sense of double standards in the Whitehouse and the UN Building.

Hadar Goldin during yesterdays Israeli ceasefire breaking operation, to extend the destruction of tunnels and other infrastructure in Gaza. Finger jabbing rhetoric demanding the "immediate unconditional release", or "condemning in the strongest terms" or even  being "shocked and ...
