Israel blew up a lot of schools in Gaza and destroyed the Gaza Zoo killing many of the animals there with gratuitous gunfire and not just gratuitous bombs. Here is what the Israeli military told the Jewish State back home about why they did this. See Hamas Booby Trapped School and Zoo …As one can see, it is essentially a variation of the old time worn out excuse by both the US and Israeli militaries, that the opposition forces were cowardly and hiding themselves behind children, and in this case of the Israeli Gaza Zoo rampage hiding themselves behind even zoo animals!
In the Vietnam War, the US government used this as its excuse for why they bombed villagers in Vietnamese held areas with napalm. They didn’t mean to hurt anyone that was innocent they always said, but the bad guys were hiding themselves behind women and children and using poor folk as screens! In Iraq, the excuse for destroying places like Fallujah was much the same and now the Israeli military is using the same rationale behind its recent rampages of destruction through Lebanon and Gaza. Same lies, just new uses for them in new places.
Here is another video about this wanton destruction by the Israeli military. IDF kills Gaza Zoo animals ~ destroys children’s theatre… Whose video explanation do you buy? Perhaps the Israeli military version of the Zoo massacre? It certainly has been seen by a lot more people than has the video of the Palestinian zoo keeper.
But let’s go back and think about the Israeli version of events some, shall we? What did the military spokesman tell and show us in the beginning of the video? He showed us a detonator (in the zoo) and started walking alongside some wires. He mentioned that each and every animal in the zoo was booby trapped to kill Israeli soldiers, as the camera pointed to some birds! He claimed that the detonator led out of the zoo and across to a school, one only of 67 destroyed by Israel in Gaza. He didn’t show us the wires leading to the other 66 schools but I guess that was certainly implied as to why it was also so seemingly necessary to destroy all those other 66 schools, too. Soldier safety issues! Good ol’ Israel. They don’t want to do it, but they have to!
But look again! Those wires are just lying out in the open, aren’t they? So is the detonator! How convenient that must be for the Israeli soldiers! Certainly convenient for the Israeli propagandist, that is.
Those stupid idiotic Hamas! They forgot to hide the detonator and wiring away from camera view! Amazing! I thought it was a booby trap, didn’t you? But it’s just sitting there underneath a picnic table in full view!
Check that video out again! Maybe the wires and detonator are NOW out in the open simply because they were uncovered by some strenuous digging by alert Israeli military men? See anything there? No? No digging? No rubble? All out in the open and no obvious areas from where these wires and detonator were dug out? Remarkable!
The Hamas people are evidently soo, soo stupid, that they forgot to hide away their booby trap, their detonator and the wires that led away from it from under the picnic table going down some totally clear passageways all undisturbed by any shovel, and now seen by our so vigilant and alert IDF soldier propaganda guy in uniform! They left all this in plain view for us all now to discover? How nice of them!
So why does the Israeli propaganda team make up such an easy to see fiction? ANSWER- They were selling it merely to a group of fans for the Home Team, that’s why. They know that these folk are not going to question it, and not going to question even such an obvious fiction and pretense by the Israeli military. So they just laid out heir own detonator fully in the open, laid out their own wires lying fully in the open, and began to talk away! No need for anybody to excavate any earth to make it seem plausible to all of us. We’re True believers We Are! We’re for the Home Team, The Jewish State! Who’s amongst us is going to question ‘our troops’? Nobody!
Well, here we are actually questioning this video right now? It just does not add up all that well, does it?
‘Honey, have another falafel with the kids, and I’ll just lay my detonator down underneath the picnic table in case??? Oh, and let me walk down through the wild bird section with the wire and over to the school. I’ll be back in a second. Insha’Allah’ Those dumb Hamas people! Or is it actually the other way around? You decide? Can it just be another Jewish State lie to help hide their meaningful and wanton destruction of other people’s lives? The military lies a lot, you know? I hope so by now….
Oh this is priceless!! They should get an oscar for thier fictional movie on the zoo. Im sure the animals were hamas terrorist animals as well. And,I suppose all the cement trucks at the main cement factory in Gaza were also booby trapped, along with the cement mixers and equipment Gazans would use to start re-building thir sity ONCE again!
Israel has no soul
OH and I forgot the main compound of UNWRA they bombed, I suppose all those tons of food for the Palestinians were also booby trapped as well.
they are evil
Maybe the Hamas used the animals as animal shields as they train their people to be human shields…

MEMRI, whose video you posted, ‘cook’, is a notorious Zionist organization that specializes in bad translations, selective translations, and secrecy about its operations. In short, it is part of the Israeli propaganda brigade and I place absolutely no faith in the translation of a brief portion of this speech having been an honest one.
I am not a Hamas supporter anyway, plus Hamas has little to do with the Israeli foreign policies which are entirely based on hatred of Palestinians no matter who their leadership might be.
For more about MEMRI and their videos and who is behind their ‘translations’ of Arab language materials see the commentary Selective Memri at http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/aug/12/worlddispatch.brianwhitaker
I might also add, that Israel’s efforts to bomb the free speech rights of Hamas literally off the face of the map hardly gives credence to the Zionist idea that Hamas is the only hate movement around in the world. Israel did the same assassination hits on Hezbollah’s TV in Lebanon , too. What if Hamas or Hezbollah were to do the same thing to Tel Aviv communications and media? It would be considered terrorism, right? No answer from ‘ IDF cook’ will be forth coming I do not doubt.
The beauty of MEMRI is they simply translate Arab media everything into English verbatim without any bias or changes. When you continually label everyone and everything as “Zionist” you look sort of paranoid and ridiculous (In case you don’t already know, you do look paranoid and ridiculous, no need to thank me). The accuracy of their translations has never been questoned.
You so dumb, ‘Cook’. Thanks for giving us the idea to help expose to others your military hate propaganda coming from Israel yet more. I’m posting about poor ‘MEMRI’ right now!
You offer no facts, just opinion. “The Israelis hate the Palestinians yada yada yada”. Not exactly Yale Debating Team material, now, are you? Since you evidently aresuffering from a comprehension problem, allow me to spoon-feed to you, once again, that it is Hamas, not Israel, with a covenant that vows genocide against Israel. Genocide=hate. Israel withdrew from Gaza in order to uphold their end of the land for peace agreement. Shortly after departing Gaza, leaving behind state of the art hospitals and greenhouses,Hamas started shelling Israel with rockets. Rockets=hate. Perhaps the drugs, alcohol and whatever other toxic substances you have ingested have affected your ability to understand basic facts, but, I hope to have been of assistance. What can I say, I’m a giver. 🙂
“You so dumb”
Your ability to reason is stunning!
Yada, yada, yada… what happened to your other spam names, ‘Cook’? We miss them. It is Israel that is committing genocide, not Hamas, Mr Israeli Spam Machine. Going to try to go all the way with destroying the entire Palestinian community, Holocaust Denier?
Your well-researched and knowledgeable responses are worthy of being archived in the Library of Congress.
You, too. Cook.
@”Cook”
1. Israel NEVER withdrew from gaza they continued to seige the borders, controlling what comes in, what comes out, food, aid, electricity, the water supply etc.
2. They bombed hamas’ underground tunnels killing hamas authorities.
They broke the ceasfire
FACT
Your well-researched and knowledgeable responses are worthy of being archived in the Library of Congress.
“Israel NEVER withdrew from gaza they continued to seige the borders, controlling what comes in, what comes out, food, aid, electricity, the water supply etc.”
Wrong! Israel completely left Gaza. It was a good-faith effort on the part of Israel, ostensibly exchanging land for peace. It would have been pointless and unnecessarily costly and distracting to uproot every Israeli in Gaza and resituate them in Israel only to then maintain a “seige” (sic) on Gaza. The “seige” is a direct consequence of Hamas shooting missiles into Israel the moment the disengagement was completed. 8,000 rockets have been fired into Israel since the withdrawal in 2005. Gaza has become, in effect, a terror base and internatonal law permits Israel to take necessary measures to insure its national security against such a terror enclave. The US has had a similar “seige” on Cuba and Cuba has not been shelling Florida. The UN also supported a similar “seige” on Iraq during the Saddam Hussein regime. Israel has no less right to protect itself. Food, water, medicine is regularly shipped into Gaza, so much so, the UN halted trucks because of any overflow of shipments.
Wrong, Mr Israeli Military ‘Dan’, it is Israel that is in effect a terror base. That is the whole point of Israel’s invasions of Lebanon and Gaza, which was to make clear that Israel intends to out-terrorize all others.
The United States is not ‘protecting itself’ in the 2 sieges you mentioned. In fact, in both cases these are examples of acts of illegal international aggression by the United States. You argument is simply that if the US can get away with it then rather than wanting US aggression stopped, you simply want Israel to be allowed similar aggressions.
The only ‘protection’ that Israel engages in against the Palestinians is to protect the Jewish State from the right of return to the lands the Palestinians were illegally expelled from. It is to ‘protect’ their own criminality that the Jewish State engages in.
“The United States is not ‘protecting itself’ in the 2 sieges you mentioned. In fact, in both cases these are examples of acts of illegal international aggression by the United States.

Precisely my point. Gaza is governed by a terrorist regime that reneged on a land-for-peace deal with Israel when Israel gave up Gaza, territory that Israel is legally and historically linked to, and Hamas started shelling Israel with missiles. International law permits Israel to protect itself against security threats and those measures will be reconsidered when Gaza ceases to be a security threat.
“The only ‘protection’ that Israel engages in against the Palestinians is to protect the Jewish State from the right of return to the lands the Palestinians were illegally expelled from. It is to ‘protect’ their own criminality that the Jewish State engages in.”
The “Palestinians” presently in Gaza and the West Bank are two, three and even four generations removed from the original “refugees” who fled Israel 60+ years ago. They were born in Gaza and the WB. That is their home. They have no legal or moral “right of return”. It’s well-documented with Arab corroboration that the vast majority of refugees fled Israel, and were not expelled, out of fear of the impending war, much of that fear stirred up by Arab leaders exhorting them to flee Israel in order to allow the Arab military to defeat Israel, after which they would be able to return to the vanquished land. Didn’t turn out as planned as Israel defeated the Arabs. Israel is a legally established sovereign State, the only nation established in the 20th century that has been approved BOTH by the League of Nations and the UN.
Precisely my point. Cuba is not Gaza. Gaza is governed by a terrorist regime that reneged on a land-for-peace deal with Israel when Israel gave up Gaza, territory that Israel is legally and historically linked to, and Hamas shelled Israel with missiles. In any case, international law permits Israel to protect itself against security threats and those measures will be reconsidered when Gaza ceases to be a security threat.
What a line of total crap. Israel has never had any historical claim to Gaza at all, and the Gaza government of Hamas is less terrorist than the Israeli government itself.
Says who? Dan, the IDF Man? The rest of the world hasn’t absolved Israel Jewish State terrorism of its previous crimes quite so easily, Propaganda Spam Man. And since the crimes of Israel Jewish State dictatorship are ongoing and constant at this point, the rest of the world certainly won’t let your Jewish dictatorship over others just continue to get away with it all.
You can take your own nuclear weapons and shove it! Jewish State Dictatorship Israel and the US are the world’s most notable terrorist regimes.
You have no solutions to anything other than just more of the same war. Peace is just not profitable for your military-governmental-corporate complex’s portfolios and these 2 governments will continue the bloodshed until they are overthrown.
“What a line of total crap. Israel has never had any historical claim to Gaza at all, and the Gaza government of Hamas is less terrorist than the Israeli government itself.”
Jews have a biblical, historical and legal connection with Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank. This connection was the basis for the League of Nations mandate allocating ALL of Palestine, including Gaza and the WB, for the specific intent of reestablishing Palestine as a Jewish homeland. The League created separate mandates for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq to accommodate the Arab population.
Hamas is a totalitarian organization classified as terrorists by the US State Dep’t as well as the EU, England, Australia, Canada, Japan and Israel. Hamas’s charter calls for the destruction of Israel and genocide of Jews. Hamas is descended from the Muslim Brotherhood, which had an alliance with the Nazis.
“Says who? Dan, the IDF Man?”
Do the math.
“The rest of the world hasn’t absolved Israel Jewish State terrorism of its previous crimes quite so easily, Propaganda Spam Man. ”
International law is not governed by world opinion. The right to self-defense is a fundamental tenet. Since Israel’s founding in 1948, Arab aggression against Israel has forced Israel into military responses.
“And since the crimes of Israel Jewish State dictatorship are ongoing and constant at this point, the rest of the world certainly won’t let your Jewish dictatorship over others just continue to get away with it all.”
Israel is not a dictatorship, it is a democracy with free elections.
“You have no solutions to anything other than just more of the same war. ”
I’m for a two-state solution, as are most Israelis and several Israeli governmental administrations. There is nothing good in war and Israel has been in several defensive wars. The Palestinian Arabs have been offered statehood more than 15 times since the Peel Commission’s offer for self-rule back in 1937, each one either rejected outright or ignored. The question is not whether the Israelis want a solution, the question is whether the Arabs want a solution.
Quite funny, ‘Dan’. On one hand you are claiming that Israel is a secular democracy rather than the Jewish State you always actually defend, and then you use the Bible/ Torah to justify your argument about democracy being the foundation! The Bible has never been a good book to use in defending democracy, Dude. Remember the OLD South and how the Bible was used to defend slavery?
Now you just totally shift into fantasy land. The League of Nations was abandoned, first of all, because the organization was shown to be politically bankrupt by WW1. You call upon this predecessor of the United Nations, simply because the United Nations disagrees with what you just said.
Gaza and the West Bank are considered to be Occupied Territories by the UN. I guess, you as lawyer, want the non-existent League to over rule the United Nations??? …lol… Good luck. Calling on God and the League of Nations as justification for Apartheid Jewish State is pretty sad stuff. Especially when you claim to be defending a secular democracy!
No it’s not! It’s a dictatorship of one group of its residents over another group that were expelled from their homes. Just like in the former White South Africa, where the White Dictatorship ruled over the Blacks. Stop lying to us and claiming that Israel is a democracy, Mr. Israeli Military Guy.
“Quite funny, ‘Dan’. On one hand you are claiming that Israel is a secular democracy rather than the Jewish State you always actually defend…”
Israel is both a democracy and a Jewish state. There’s nothing unique nor nothing to defend in this regard. Israel’s population encompasses roughly 100 different nationalities and each citizen is free to practice their religion.
“, and then you use the Bible/ Torah to justify your argument about democracy being the foundation!”
Jews have an extensive historical connection with Palestine, including Gaza.
“Now you just totally shift into fantasy land. The League of Nations was abandoned, first of all, because the organization was shown to be politically bankrupt by WW1. You call upon this predecessor of the United Nations, simply because the United Nations disagrees with what you just said. ”
Every one of the 51 nations comprising the League of Nations at the time voted in favor of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Their Palestine Mandate is legally binding and when the LON was dissolved, the Mandate was transferred to the UN and Article 80 of the UN Charter maintains the legally binding validity of the Palestine Mandate to this day. The UN has, in effect, reaffirmed a Jewish homeland in Palestine with UN Res. 181.
“Gaza and the West Bank are considered to be Occupied Territories by the UN.”
Not surprising given the UN’s Arab bloc. Neither Gaza nor the West Bank are sovereign States, therefore, Israel’s presence does not constitute an occupation under international law.
“No it’s not! It’s a dictatorship of one group of its residents over another group that were expelled from their homes.”
Almost 1.5 Arabs call Israel home, each of whom has the right to vote if eligible. Arabic is an official language of Israel. Israel is also the only State in the Middle East according full rights to women and homosexuals.
Full Rights? Says WHO? Oh, yeah, that’s Right (Wing), the Neo-Fascist State of Netanyahu.
Dan, you demonstrate the truth of the post over and over again.
You keep pushing the Official Story as told by IDF as though it were the Word of God Almighty.
Failing that you quote people you yourself called charlatans, like Sean Hannity.
And of course calling people “crazy” for not joining you in worshiping your lower case “g” god of Militarism and his twin sister Fascism.
And with each post proving, over and over and over and over and over and over, while and at the same time Repetitively, that all you have is Government Sponsored Propaganda.
The sources you keep citing have a very strong motivation for lying and covering up their misdeeds, especially with fake “Investigations” led by the criminals themselves.
About the “crazy” accusations you’ve brought, you do realize that when you say stuff like that you’re making an illegal medical diagnosis, don’t you?
You said that Dr Churchill isn’t a doctor merely because the title is Honorary, (like Dr Kissinger).
An Honorary Doctorate actually does entitle the person so honored to use the name Dr. to describe himself.
Whether you agree with it or not.
Your acceptance of it isn’t necessary, because you don’t run SHIT.
On the other hand, making a diagnosis of an illness, and offering advice on how to treat it, especially prescribing medication, as you did to Tony in the Megaphone thread, is against the Law in Colorado.
And since your ex-President Bush and his Demented Disciple Cheney issued a series of executive orders that stated they had jurisdiction over people in other nations who broke their “Law’ there’s plenty of precedent for enforcing Colorado law even in New York City.
You violated the law, and just two months ago the existing laws against fraudulently posing as a Medical Doctor and offering treatment or treatment advice was tightened considerably.
You should keep up with such things.
“Full Rights? Says WHO? Oh, yeah, that’s Right (Wing), the Neo-Fascist State of Netanyahu.”
Says the Israeli Declaraton of Independence. Says the Israeli judicial system, including the High Court.
“You said that Dr Churchill isn’t a doctor merely because the title is Honorary, (like Dr Kissinger).”
Dr. Kissinger has a PhD from Harvard.
“An Honorary Doctorate actually does entitle the person so honored to use the name Dr. to describe himself.”
From Wikipedia: Recipients of an honorary doctorate do not normally adopt the title of “doctor”. In many countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, it is not usual for an honorary doctor to use the formal title of “doctor”, regardless of the background circumstances for the award.
The preamble of the League of Nations mandate declared:
Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
The British and Jewish settlers did not abide by that ‘mandate’, and eventually Jewish settlers broke that ‘mandate’ altogether by simply terrorizing eh Palestinians off of their own lands.
Further, the League of Nations was done away with because of its support for European imperialism which this is a primary example of. What gave the League of Nations the right to declare rules for the Palestinians concerning their own Homeland?
Let’s face it, this so-called ‘mandate’ was nothing more nor less than a British Empire made statement of its time. The “League’ merely rubber stamped it.
“The British and Jewish settlers did not abide by that ‘mandate’, and eventually Jewish settlers broke that ‘mandate’ altoether by simply terrrorizing eh Palestinians off of their own lands.”
The British did not abide by the Palestine Mandate by arbitrarily and wrongfully cutting off nearly 80% of Palestine and giving it to the Hussein family of Saudi Arabia as a “gift” for their support in WW I. That land today is known as Jordan, whose population is primarily Palestinian. The nearly 1.5 million Arabs living in Israel today include many of those Arabs/Palestinians who lived in the area when Israel was being reconstituted. Additionally, Palestinian Arabs living in the area pre-Israel were offered another homeland, in addition to Jordan, by the UN in 1947, which they rejected. As for Jews “terrorizing” Arabs, this is historically counterfactual. Jews had been the victims of Arab and Muslim terror dating back to the Moslem invasion of Palestine through the Hebron Massacres of 1929 and Jewish pogroms of 1936-1939. David Ben-Gurion and other Israeli officials implored the Arabs to join them in Israel and help contribute to its growth and success.
“Further, the League of Nations was done away with because fo its support for European imperialism which this is a primary example of.
The precise opposite led to the League of Nations’ demise. It was powerless to stop Italian, German and Japanese expansionism leading to World War II. The League of Nations collapsed because of an inability to deal with international crises and not enforcing decisions affecting international peace, which was its mission, rendering it ineffectual.
WW1 was a very big imperialist crisis by itself, and the League of Nations merely supported the imperial powers that won that war. That got the League into quick trouble.
World War 2 was yet another war caused as imperialist nations fought among themselves over control over the rest of the world.
‘David Ben-Gurion and other Israeli officials implored the Arabs to join them in Israel and help contribute to its growth and success.’
Oh Brother! What a fairy tale world you spout, Megaphone Guy.
Look how many times the word “Jewish” popped up. Anti Semites arent getting any smarter, are they. Now, years after the world learned that both accusations were false, this racist entry remains without a clarification. How suprising is that.
