Who does not support Israel in the latest Gaza War?

It seems the MSM is on the Jihadist side. Even the lefties I know support Israel. I think what Israel is doing is right and long over due. I guess some people are so brainwashed that they blame Israel for everything. I have not run into anyone that clueless yet. I hope not to but if you do have are some great talking points posted here. It seems like common sense to me to support Israel, but I guess some people need convincing. 2+2 equals 4 and killing Jihadis is good. Want any more truths?

Good news here. The death threats are drastically slowing down and the traffic is going up. I did not know that some many people wanted to read what I had to say. Thanks.

THE MIDDLE EAST ACCORDING TO AFP

The AFP love the Jihadis IMHO. I do not trust the AFP for the news. It is funny to read there spin though. Power Line seems to think the same read this great article Agence France-Presse (AFP) is one of the world’s most biased news agencies, especially where the Middle East is concerned. Today AFP published this helpful guide to the “key events in 2008″ relating to Gaza, Hamas and Israel:

In AFP’s narrative, the story begins with Israel imposing a blockade of Gaza in January. No mention of the rocket attacks launched by Hamas from Gaza that prompted the blockade. The next event that the AFP finds noteworthy is Israel’s five-day “offensive” of February and March 2008, which “kills over 120 Palestinians.” No mention of the 257 rockets and 228 mortars that were fired into Israel from Gaza during the month of February alone, no mention of Hamas’ resumption of suicide bombing in February, and no acknowledgement that many of those killed were Hamas terrorists. In June, AFP reminds us, Israel and Hamas agreed to a six-month truce. Again, context is absent, but the significance of the truce lay in Hamas’ agreement to stop launching attacks on Israel from Gaza. And for a while, it almost did. This graphic shows the number of rocket launchings on a monthly basis:

This one shows mortar attacks:

As you can see, the mortar and rocket attacks never quite stopped, but resumed in earnest last month, when they averaged around three a day. AFP helpfully explains what happened: “Israeli assault sparks resumption of Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza.” What “Israeli assault” was that? The IDF sent special forces 200 yards across the border to destroy a tunnel that had been built to facilitate the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers. Intelligence indicated that such a kidnapping was imminent:

The IDF accused Hamas of jeopardizing the truce by digging the tunnel and plotting to abduct more Israeli soldiers in the immediate future. “The tunnel we uncovered was ready for imminent use, forcing us to act immediately,” the military source said. “We did not know where the other end of the tunnel surfaced. In light of the intelligence we received about its immediate use, plans for special forces to enter Gaza this evening after sundown were approved,” he added. 

Hamas gunmen opened fire on IDF forces and Hamas fired 45 rockets into Israel the same night. AFP uncritically parrots Hamas’ pretext that Israel’s destruction of the kidnapping tunnel was the reason for its resumption of rocket and mortar attacks. That’s it, as far as AFP is concerned, until December 19, when Hamas “ends [the] truce.” Of course, as the graphics above show, there was no truce to end by December. The AFP says that on December 27, Israeli planes “blitz Hamas targets.” Give them credit for acknowledging the nature of the targets, but isn’t “blitz” a somewhat fraught term to describe Israel’s carefully aimed attacks? While AFP’s summary of “key events in 2008″ is useless as a guide to what has happened in Gaza and Israel over the past year, it does accurately reflect AFP’s woefully biased coverage of that part of the world: the Middle East according to AFP.

Can We Please Bomb Iran Now: Iranian Prostesters Call for “Israel to Be Wiped Off the Face of the Earth”

Was there a counter protest? Iran is the biggest threat to freedom and liberty not Hamas IMHO.
From Gateway Pundit

The brutal Hamas-supporting regime sponsored a massive protest today in Tehran.

Shouting “Down with the USA” and “Down with Israel”, the demonstrators carried banners reading“Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth” and “We should all rise and destroy Israel”. (Fars News)

Rise to destroy Israel. (ISNA)

Protesters prayed for the destruction of Israel.

And, of course, flags were torched. (Fars News)
