Snapped Shot

Man, it seems like this is schooling weekend. Due to our current administration and its lovers in the leftstream media, I have a feeling that I will be conducing more of these free lesson more and more. (Dang, did I just say "free"??)

Ok, here is the original article found on Fox News. I have yet to find an author willing to put his name on this.

Let's begin with the analysis...

No, guess not.

But am sure there is something in the air there.

Well, where have we heard that before? Hmmm?

Oh yeah... Mid-East Arabs and Muslims.

Case in point: Gaza Strip's infinitely-angry Palestinians.

A man walks inside the Nibras Print Shop in Gaza City as poster on wall shows Hamas militants killed in Israeli offensive.

Notice the title of the story as well: "Posters of Dead Sell Well in Gaza After Israeli Offensive"

Ahh yes. The new mantra of the year: the ISRAELI OFFENSIVE. It is a shame that Israel had to get all Jewish and just start attacking people for no reason.... offensively. Too bad they couldn't have had a justification for acting in self-defense, or... or... something. But anyway, I digressed myself. [eewwww - Ed.]

Once again, we are shown just how barbaric these people really are. And, once again, this shows just how popular the Hamas murdering terrorist organization really was in Gaza. If you think that the civilians of Gaza are not complicit in these affairs, then you are woefully ignorant. Recall, they were chosen by these civilians to be their new leaders because they felt that the PLO was not "terroristic" enough for them. They wanted more Israeli blood on their hands.

Did I get off track again?

Meanwhile....

Some were killed when tank shells hit their homes. Others died when bombs erased their offices. Still others met their end battling Israeli troops.

Now their faces are rolling off the presses at the Nibras print shop, which produces full-color posters and banners of the dead. In the wake of Israel's 22-day Gaza offensive — which killed nearly 1,300 Palestinians — it's one of the few businesses experiencing a postwar boom.

Does this author, Ben Hubbard, really think that these words are NOT glorifying these murderers? You can almost see the respect, envy and awe dripping off these words.

From the mouth of our world's heroic, unbiased, and peace-loving leader, Ban Ki-moon:

"Appauling and Unacceptable" for Hamas to attack Israel.

"Outrageous", "Appauling" and "Unacceptable" for Israel to defend itself against Hamas' attacks on Israeli civilians.

Lambasting Israel, Moon said that ISRAEL must be held accountable for its actions.

Glad to see that he is maintaining balance in his condemnations.

[Update:] One wonders if he also led a moment of silence for the murdered Israeli citizens? Yeah, probably not.

Could this explain why so many so-called civilians were injured in Gaza recently?

See any adults there? How many civilians under 14 do you see?

Is it Hamas? Is it the PLO? Is it the United States of America? Is it Russia as some Christian Bible prophecy believers believe it to be?

Or, is it the world's media? The world's media that leans liberal? Could it really be that Israel's greatest enemy over the last few decades is the world's mainstream media?

Take a look at this link that avid SnappedShot fan, BusyWolf, tipped us off to. The link has text and a video that was shown on international outlets. Let's start off with a look at the name of the link? Does that give you any clues as to the direction the story is going to go? gaza-israel-assault-medics-violence Now let's take a look at the text introducing the video from France television 24:

The conflict between Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian group that is in charge of the Gaza Strip, and Israel has provoked reaction worldwide.

Right there, from the very first sentence of the story, we can see the direction this story is going to go. France's 24 will start with the premise that Hamas, being basically just another Islamic group, is an official group that was duly and rightfully elected to be in charge of Gaza. And no one in the world should be challenging Hamas' authority to govern Gaza Strip. See anything wrong here?

France 24, it appears, is a state-run media outlet that is operated in partnership with France 2. As you may recall, it was France 2 that villified Israel in the made-up al-Dura affair. A Palestinian-media driven affair that tried to paint Israel as child killers, but was shown in court to be wholly faked by the Palestinian and their France 2 compatriots.

France 24, just over 2 years old now, provides Arabic, French and English programming, focusing on the French perspective, over the airwaves and on the internet across much of Europe and the mid-East. And we all know how much love France gives to Western-type democracies. Has France ever made statements in support of Israel or its actions? I know Sarkozy did during and following his campaign. I know there is also a strong pro-Israel contingent in France. But, as a whole, France's media and political machine despise Israel.

Let's analyze the France 24 text further (long post):

I post this picture, at least temporarily, to bring up some "discussion" on its artistic merits. Notice the composition of the hole in the center surrounded by hundreds of sympathizing terrorists supporters. Notice the depth of the crater that is synonymous to the depths of the depravity that exists in the minds of Hamas. Note, that there are still people there in crater, thus expressing the reality that Hamas' depravity knows no bounds.

Let us also examine the impact that an image such as this can have on people and their reality.

How far does Reuters go to show their support of terrorists?
This far.... Continue reading »

Isn't it odd all of the calls for humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip?

I mean, are we not hearing almost hourly pleas that Israel stop its "fiery", "massive", "holocaust"-like, "disproportionate" attack upon the Hamas terrorist murdering organization? They justify these calls for Israel, and Israel alone, to stop their attack in order to get food, water and flour (???) to the "starving" Gazans.

But, lest we get sucked in to far to the media's anti-Israeli bias, let us remember a few things.

Recall the 3,000 some greenhouses that Israel left behind when it vacated the Gaza Strip? Recall that Hamas and the Palestinian people there destroyed nearly every one of them. When Israel left, what did the "civilians" do in return? They rioted for months and destroyed most everything that wasn't sand or tree.

A week after they descended like locusts on the greenhouses that Jewish settlers nurtured in Gaza, looters continue to pillage what should be a prize asset for a fledgling Palestinian state. And the Palestinian Authority, which took over Gaza after the Israelis evacuated the territory, appears powerless to stop them.

When a Daily News correspondent visited abandoned Jewish settlements in Gaza, he found brazen vandals dismantling farms that once produced some of the world's finest tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The now-gutted greenhouses were gifts to the Palestinian people from U.S. philanthropists, who raised $14 million to buy them from departing settlers.

"All over Gush Katif the greenhouses have been damaged and a lot was stolen from them," Karim said, referring to former Jewish settlements in southwest Gaza. In Gadid, much of the expensive equipment used to tend the crops was stolen. So were the water pumps, irrigation lines and all the fuse boxes.

At the former Katif settlement, a Palestinian soldier, Pvt. Mohamed Cidawi, said looters made off with most of the metal support beams and even stole the plastic and canvas coverings that protected the vegetables from the hot sun.

In the nearby Neveh Dekalim settlement, there were no soldiers to stop 29-year-old Samir Al-Najar and his eight-man crew from demolishing a half-acre greenhouse. Al-Najar insisted the land was his family's before Israel occupied it in 1967 and that he was reclaiming it.

They claim the land is theirs, and yet they treat the land this way? Meanwhile, those 3,000 (some say 4,000) greenhouses could have provided the food and jobs that the world is crying out for right now. Think about that next time you hear the whining and moaning about starving terrorists.

From another great post from the Elder of the Internet:

When thousands of Palestinian Arabs were killed during Black September in 1971, there were no crowds at Jordanian embassies. When hundreds of Palestinian Arab civlians were killed in a single day in Lebanon in1975, no one protested. When thousands of Palestinian Arab civilians were murdered by Syrian-backed militia in Lebanese camps in 1985-86 (including Sabra and Shatila!), there were no demonstrations. When hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs were expelled from Kuwait in a single week in 1991, there were no rallies. When Hamas and Fatah fought only two summers ago, killing hundreds in a month, the so-called "peace camp" was silent.

Only when Israel gets involved in a conflict do these "activists" come out of the woodwork. Ignoring the many conflicts around the world, their fake indignation is ignited at the thought of Israel defending itself. Muslims who barely go "tsk, tsk" when Arabs kill each other are driven to a frenzy when Israelis finally decide to act after years of provocation.

The current rallies aren't pro-Palestinian or even anti-war - they are purely anti-Israel, ...

The media is part of the problem when they refer to these demonstrations as being "pro-Palestinian." They don't give a damn about Palestinian Arabs, they never have and they never will.

Elder is right. You didn't see these people come out in protest the civilians being killed by Hamas or Hizballah, did you? Only when Israel started to make a PR, Pre-Obama, move to defend itself did these cockroaches come out of their hiding places. And of course, the media eagerly helps to propagate the shared message of hate.

Meanwhile, the press is still covering up for the terrorist murdering organizations, especially if it puts Israel in a worse light.

The leaflets reflected Israeli efforts to cast Hamas as the source of the conflict that has brought additional misery to Gaza's 1.4 million people, who live in poverty in the densely inhabited shard of land along the Mediterranean. Israel hopes the suffering will erode support for Hamas, which won 2006 elections and engineered a violent takeover of Gaza in June 2007, overrunning the forces of its Palestinian rival Fatah. [Ed: even saying that, it just doesn't matter to them]

For now, though, the fury of the Israeli onslaught has deepened bitterness toward Israel among trapped Gaza residents. ...

Israel launched the offensive on Dec. 27 after years of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, and has attributed many civilian casualties in the past two weeks to Hamas's alleged use of civilian areas as hiding places and staging grounds for attacks.

"When we suspect that a Palestinian fighter is hiding in a house, we shoot it with a missile and then with two tank shells, and then a bulldozer hits the wall. It causes damage but it prevents the loss of life among soldiers."

Better late than never...

You know the media is going to fall heads over heals nutzo over this.

(H/T Carl in Jerusalem, who quotes from Daled Amos)

Israellycool, quoting Ynet News who quoted Israel's lame duck Olmert who quoted .. .... ... wait, where was I?

Oh. I have found my new catch phrase.

“The rocket attacks this morning on the residents of the south only prove that the UN’s resolution is not practical and will not be upheld by the Palestinian murder organizations… Israel has never allowed any outside source to determine its right to defend its citizens. The IDF will continue to act to defend the citizens of Israel and carry out the missions laid before it in the operation”.

Ignoring for the moment his statement that "Israel has never allowed any outside source to determine its right to defend its citizens", I love the new catch phrase of "The Palestinian Murder Organizations". Does that not completely fit the various Palestinian terrorist organizations as a whole?

Now, back to his other statement. Didn't Israel allow the UN to stop its battle in Lebanon back in 2006? Haven't they allowed teh UN to prevent its use of force when responding to kidnappings and air-based attacks over its entire border? Haven't they NOT launched maneuvers due to US pressure?

Alas, I fear that once again, Israel will allow the UN to dictate its defensive actions. Israel will withdraw from Gaza even while Hamas continues it rocket attacks. Israel will make some futile argument to its citizens that they succeeded in their minor objectives while allowing the UN to fulfill their other security-based objectives. It will take over a year or more before "monitors" are moved in to the area and will be wholly inept and unable to do anything other than suck off the American taxpayer's dime.

Meanwhile, rockets will continue to rain down on Israel.

And, to up the ante, Hamas committed the crimes against its own people. The UN has consistently portrayed that level of war crimes as the worst of the worst. Recall the extreme outrage expressed by the world and the world's media against former Yugoslav President Milosevic?

Yeah, like you will ever see this post's title as a headline in your national media. If so, they would then turn it around on Israel by adding the ever-present (with regard to all things Israel) word, "but".

In other words, "Israel found hard evidence of Hamas' hand at putting civilians at risk, a known component for being charged with crimes against humanity, BUT, Israel has forced Hamas to take such drastic actions in order to provide social services for its citizens."

But, as we are allowed (so far) to present the other side of the story that the media will not show, I present you with what Carl from Jerusalem found.

IDF paratroopers discovered a map of the northern Gaza town of al-Atatra and used it to avoid casualties in the town. Today, the map was shown during an IDF briefing.

From a post over at LGF, citing the site IsraellyCool. I would link directly to IsraellyCool, but I could not find his posting of this evidence.

Here are the two images:

A Palestinian carries a child into the Shifa hospital in Gaza City...

A Palestinian father carries his wounded baby daughter into a hospital in Gaza City...


Beyond the obvious aspect that two separate men are carrying this child INTO this hospital in front of the throng of cameramen, I ask you to look at the child herself.

- The child is not crying.

- First photo actually has her dressed up. Second photo now has her naked. Isn't that against Islamic law or something for a strange man to see a naked girl?

- Second photo has her playing with her hands. She is also seen already wearing a surgical IV tube.

- Note all the extensive burns that have started to heal already. A baby with that extensive burns would be either crying her eyes out or unconscious.

- Is that child really wearing 4 layers of coats? Tan, over Orange, over Pink, over Green. Oh, second photo also shows a light blue shirt.

- For a baby to have such extensive burns on her abdomen and legs, but then not have them on her arms or hands and fingers?
