You can almost see such headlines now can’t you, but of course there won’t be anything of the sort. If there were they would probably read something like the title above. Yes on Sunday yet more rockets were fired into southern Israel from Gaza by Islamic militants. Not that anyone reliant on Britain’s leftwing media outlets for their news would know. No all the BBC has to offer on Israel this morning is a story about a Turkish man arrested in the West Bank by the satanic Israeli authorities and another about the Warsaw Ghetto conditions Israel is imposing on Gaza.
This silence of the British media concerning missile attacks on Israel is all too reminiscent of the same silence witnessed prior to Israel’s Cast Lead attack on Hamas. Following this of course the world became delirious with moral outrage. As one Israeli victim of such a Hamas rocket attack asked Richard Goldstone at the UN ‘where were you then?’. And years went by in which Israel received 8,000 rockets in return for the 8,000 of its Jewish citizens that it forcibly expelled from their homes in Gaza. Still the world was unmoved. Interesting is it not that when Hamas fires rockets at Israeli civilians it’s an attack on ‘the State of Israel’, but when Israel bombs Hamas terror instillations it’s an attack on the Palestinian people. Still all of this has been said too many times already to still carry any lustre for those of us forced to keep repeating it.
But let there be no doubt in the minds of those still even handed enough to care, the British media and intellectual elites care nothing about the attacks Israel sustains from Islamic terrorists or anything for the plight of its civilians. It may not even care that much about the wellbeing of the Palestinians; indeed it seems positively delighted when ever presented with another opportunity to gleefully wave around more ‘proof’ of Israeli barbarism. One need only look to how London’s 10th rate free daily newspapers devoted their front pages day in day out to scandalised allegations of Israeli spies thieving good honest British passports for their sinister assassination work in Dubai. Deadly rockets when trained in the direction of Israeli civilians seem infinitely less interesting to the UK media. But what really gets Britain’s Leftwing establishment going is when Israel’s defence forces are so brazen as to lift as much as a finger in the defence of their long embattled people. This is what makes headlines.
