Hamas's New Blood Libel: Jews burn Palestinian Children

Palestinian exhibit depicts children
in crematorium

by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook, Mar 20 2008

Palestinian children in Gaza were gathered for an exhibition that depicts Israel burning children in a crematorium. Young children are seen standing beside dolls being placed into a model of a cremation oven.

According to the article in Al Ayyam, "The National Committee for defense of Children from the Holocaust opened its activities with a Holocaust exhibit. The Exhibit include a large oven and inside it small children are being burned, the picture speaks for itself." [Al Ayyam, March 20, 2008]

Another part of the exhibit was a black platform with the words, "Stop the Israel's Holocausts." [Al Hayat Al Jadida, March 20, 2008]

Palestinian Authority (Fatah) TV already already taught children in the past that Israel burned children in the Holocaust. With ovens pictured in the background and actors playing dead children as part of a musical play, an actor in a video declared:

"They [Israel] are the ones who did the Holocaust ... They opened the ovens for us to bake human beings... and when one oven stopped burning they lit a hundred more ovens." [PA TV March 25, 2004]

Hamas MP: We used women and children as human shields

How many war crimes has Hamas committed? Try 30,000. Here are a few of them:

"Hamas MP Fathi Hammad: We Used Women and Children as Human Shields," from MEMRITV (thanks to Sr. Soph):

Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by Hamas MP Fathi Hammad, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on February 29, 2008.

Fathi Hammad: [The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: "We desire death like you desire life."

And yet, the Left cannot see the truth, even if it is directly in front of their eyes. If you tell them that Hamas caused all of the deaths in Gaza, they will still refuse to believe it, so much is their hatred for Jews and for America.

How many war crimes has Hamas committed in the past seven years?

Here's how to calculate them:

Take the number of rockets intentionally fired at civilians (war crime), times the number of warheads filled with ball bearings and rat poison designed to harm as many civilians as possible (war crime), times the number of rocket launchings from civilian homes, schools, hospitals, marketplaces (war crime), times the number of hospitals, ambulances, and schools disguised to look like military targets (war crime), times the number of rocket crews and armed militants attacking Israel dressed as civilians, doctors, ambulance drivers, religious leaders (war crime), times the number of staged Israeli "massacres," (war crime), times the number of fake surrenders that led to ambushes (war crime).

What you have are tends of thousands of blatant, war crimes committed without the slightest hint of humanity.

So, you can take your phony UN Resolutions and shove them up your pipe.

Hamas MP: Arabs Ruled by '4 Million Brothers of Apes and Pigs'

Hamas MP: Arabs Ruled by '4 Million Brothers of Apes and Pigs'

MEMRI TV: Hamas MP Fathi Hammad Slams Arab and Islamic Regimes for Being Ruled by "4 Million Brothers of Apes and Pigs"

Fathi Hammad: The wounded men have sacrificed themselves in defense of the honor of the Arab and Islamic nation, and in defense of the holy places. They have sacrificed parts of their bodies in order to stop the advance of the Jews, who want to uproot you. As you know, the Israeli flag has a star between two blue lines. They want to establish the state of Israel between the Euphrates and the Nile. The Jews want to invade Egypt and Iraq, to destroy Saudi Arabia, and to return to Khaybar...

...Where is your valor? Stop being such cowards. The time has come for you to awaken from this deep slumber. The time has come for your honor, dignity, and valor to awaken. Where are you, Muslims? Are you monotheistic, or not? Are you Muslims, or not? Do you love Allah, or not? Do you love the Prophet, or not? As a sign of your love for Allah and the Prophet, you should sweep away the borders, which were created by imperialism. We are in need of weapons, we are in need of food, we are in need of moral support, as well as support by the media, economic support, medical aid, and support in weapons. Therefore, oh Arabs, who number 300 million, you cannot allow yourselves to be ruled by four million brothers of apes and pigs. Where is your nobility? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Where are you, oh Muslims, who number one and a half billion, yet you are ruled by four million brothers of apes and pigs?...

...Where is your manliness? Where is your nobility You stand there like women and do not lift a finger. What is the meaning of this apathy? What is the meaning of this cowardice? What is the meaning of this fear?...

...Your armies have become like women, who hide and cannot lift a finger. Your armies, tanks, and planes have become rusty...

OK, Mr Hammad-as-Hell, maybe you would be so kind as to tell your Muslim Brothers and Sisters, who go ballistic about Mohammed cartoons and beauty pageants, and who go on killing sprees, and rampaging entire villages in their wake, just exactly how your calling Jews, "Apes and pigs" is NOT racist and an affront to their God?

Mr. Fat-headed Fathi: if Israel wants to take over the entire Arab world, then why are they giving their own land to Arabs? It's been 40 years since the 1967 War, and instead of capturing more of the territory promised to them, they are giving it to be run by a bunch of psychokillers, child abusers, and pedophiles.

Maybe, someone on the brain-dead Left can tell us why they support these racist madmen who, quite literally, want to drink the blood of every Jew in the Middle East, and who lament that Hitler did not go far enough?

There you are, supporting the Palestinians, prima facie, who elected these monsters to rule over them, a government composed of the lowest scum imaginable, then what does that say about you and your self-righteous indignation against Israel?

The answer is that the Left is lower than whale dung, and their blogs like the "Huffington Post" is one of the deeper hole into which that dung falls.

MSM's by-in to the bogus blackout in Gaza

Here is an article taken from Solomon's blog about the bogus blackout in Gaza:

Darkness at Noon -- MSM Plays Along with Hamas Photo Staging (Updated)

The Hamas leader of the Gaza Strip , Ismail Haniyeh , left, and Gaza's Hamas strongman, Mahmoud Zahar, are seen during a cabinet meeting held in candle light in solidarity with the residents of Gaza, in Gaza City, Tuesday Jan. 22, 2008. The latest round of Israel-Gaza fighting erupted last week, amid a spike in rocket fire on Israeli border communities, and prompted Israel to seal the territory and cut off fuel supplies. Gaza's power plant shut down, cutting off electricity to about one-third of Gaza's residents, and international aid groups warned they may have to suspend food distribution to hundreds of thousands of people by the end of the week for lack of truck fuel.

Khaled Abu Toameh: 'Hamas staged some of the blackouts'

On at least two occasions this week, Hamas staged scenes of darkness as part of its campaign to end the political and economic sanctions against the Gaza Strip, Palestinian journalists said Wednesday.

In the first case, journalists who were invited to cover the Hamas government meeting were surprised to see Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and his ministers sitting around a table with burning candles.

In the second case on Tuesday, journalists noticed that Hamas legislators who were meeting in Gaza City also sat in front of burning candles.

But some of the journalists noticed that there was actually no need for the candles because both meetings were being held in daylight.

"They had closed the curtains in the rooms to create the impression that Hamas leaders were also suffering as a result of the power stoppage," one journalist told The Jerusalem Post. "It was obvious that the whole thing was staged."

Another journalist said he and his colleagues were told to wait for a few minutes before entering the chamber of the Palestinian Legislative Council so that each legislator would have time to light his candle. He said that when he saw that the curtains had been closed to prevent the light from entering, he realized that Hamas was trying to manipulate the media for political gain.

Update: Jerusalem Posts emails some more photos [Note the sunlight behind the curtains.]:

Hamas manufactures a "humanitarian crisis"

After Hamas convinced the world that Israel was creating a "humanitarian crisis" out of the very limited restrictions that Israel placed on industrial diesel fuel and on nonessential goods, Israeli resumed shipments of fuel and supplies to the Gaza Strip. However, the intensive news coverage of the strip's electrical, medical and food situation continues, not all of it balanced, accurate or containing sufficient context. While some media reports now include statements from Israeli
officials maintaining that Hamas manufactured the disputed crisis and accusing
the terrorist group of responsibility for hardships, almost all continue to
ignore similar statements from Arabs themselves. In short, all too many media
outlets continue to mislead.

For instance, the headline of Rory McCarthy’s article in the January 22 edition of the Guardian reads:

"Palestinian crisis: No light, no heat, no bread: stark reality for the powerless
in Gaza: Besieged civilians pay the price for Israel's hardline response to
rocket attacks." McCarthy wrote:

"Large parts of the overcrowded strip had no power, leaving it without lights
and heating, closing bakeries and forcing hospitals to rely on generators and
their own limited fuel reserves."

Underscoring the alleged severity of the crisis, McCarthy writes :
"Osama Nahal, a paediatric doctor in the European hospital's special care baby
unit, looked resigned. 'Politics is politics, but the care of human beings
must be away from politics,' he said. His unit now has 10 newly-born patients,
of whom two are on ventilators.

"The hospital in Khan Yunis, which was built with European and UN funding,
takes most of its electricity from the power plant, so it was largely without
any yesterday. The hospital's own fuel reserve, normally 120,000 litres, are
down to 10,000 litres following Israel's economic boycott of Gaza over the
past two years.

"The UN sent emergency fuel supplies from its depot inside Gaza. It was enough
to power the hospital's smallest generator and to provide electricity for the
intensive care units and emergency operations. But when those last reserves
run dry, the power will stop. 'If new supplies don't come, we'll have to put
the patients on manual ventilations. All of us will have to work at it non-stop,
24-hours a day,' said Nahal.

" 'It's a very serious situation. If it continues, we will stop being able
to give our service,' said Mohammad Abu Shahla, the hospital director. 'Do
you think we have anywhere else to move the patients? There is nowhere.'"

Yet, if the European hospital is low on fuel, that is the fault of Hamas, charged
the Palestinian health ministry last month. The independent Palestinian news
agency Maan reported on Dec. 6, 2007:

"The Palestinian health ministry of the Ramallah-based caretaker government
said on Thursday that 'Hamas militias' have looted the fuel stores destined
for hospital vehicles in the Gaza Strip.A statement released by the health
ministry said that fuel from the European hospital in the Gaza Strip had been
stolen by the director of the hospital drivers to supply the Hamas-affiliated
Executive Force. The statement explained that the fuel reserve had been supplied
by the ministry to enable the hospital to continue working for as long as possible."

Of course, Hamas' theft of fuel meant for the hospital kills two birds with
one stone - practically, it gives the Hamas terrorists the fuel it needs to
continue its attacks against Israel, and strategically, it creates a humanitarian
crisis for which the United Nations, 'human rights' groups, and reporters like
McCarthy are all too willing to blame Israel.

In another example of Hamas' media manipulation of the situation, Oakland Ross
of the Toronto Starreports today (Jan 22): "A Hamas official said yesterday
that five patients died over the weekend in Gaza hospitals because of the latest
fuel embargo."

Likewise, Steve Inskeep reported on NPR's "Morning Edition" yesterday (Jan
21): "Now Hamas officials, who are in charge in Gaza, say at least five hospital
patients have died, but Israeli officials say Hamas is exaggerating this crisis
for political gain."

But it's more than Hamas just "exaggerating this crisis"; Hamas has created
the crisis. And it is not just Israeli officials who dispute Hamas' claims.
As AP's Ibrahim Barzak reported yesterday: "Hamas claimed that five people
had died at hospitals because of the power outage. However, health officials,
speaking on condition of anonymity because they were contradicting the official
line, denied the claim."

Similarly, when it comes to the bakeries shutting down, many journalists blame
the Israeli fuel cuts while ignoring contradictory statements by Palestinians.
For example, Ibrahim Barzak of the Associated Press reported on January 21:

"Gaza bakeries stopped operating because of the blockade, bakers said, because
they had neither power nor flour. Residents of the impoverished strip, which
as a population of some 1.5 million, typically rely on fresh pita bread as
a main part of their diet. Waiting in a line at the only open bakery for miles
around, Mohammed Salman said he had spent far more on a taxi getting to the
shop than he would on bread."

Yet, Khaled Abu Toameh, reporting in the Jerusalem Post, quotes a Palestinian
Authority official who insists that the bakeries are sufficiently stocked with
fuel and flour:

"The official also accused Hamas of ordering owners of bakeries to keep their
businesses closed for the second day running to create a humanitarian crisis
in the Gaza Strip. 'Hamas is preventing people from buying bread,' he said.
'They want to deepen the crisis so as to serve their own interests.' The official
said that contrary to Hamas's claims, there is enough fuel and flour to keep
the bakeries in the Gaza Strip operating for another two months. 'Hamas members
have stolen most of the fuel in the Gaza Strip to fill their vehicles,' he
said."

Beyond responsibility for this or that particular aspect of the blockade, some
news articles reported Israel's position that the blockade itself is the product
of Hamas' continued assault against Israel. None of the Western journalists,
however, reported that this Israeli view was shared by a prominent voice in
the Arab world. As Abu Toameh reported on January 21 in the Jerusalem
Post:

"A prominent Arab editor on Monday blamed Hamas for the ongoing crisis in the
Gaza Strip, saying the Islamist movement had acted 'stupidly' by firing rockets
at Israel. . . .Abdel Rahman Rashed, a Saudi national serving as general manager
of the pan-Arab Arabiya news channel, said Hamas was responsible for the suffering
of some 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. 'Hamas committed
a stupid act when it gave the Israelis an excuse to launch attacks in retaliation
for a few antique rockets,' Rashid wrote in the London-based daily Asharq Al-Awsat. 'Prior
to that, Hamas committed a big crime against the Palestinian people by overthrowing
the Palestinian Authority [in the Gaza Strip]. The Palestinians in the Gaza
Strip have suffered a lot because of Hamas's actions. Hamas is bringing Israel
back into the Gaza Strip after it was liberated by the Palestinian groups.'

"Rashed questioned the wisdom of firing rockets and mortars at Israel which,
he said, was only increasing the suffering of the Palestinians, let alone that
they were not causing much harm to Israel. He pointed out that 'only' 10 Israelis
were wounded in the recent attacks as opposed to the 'huge disaster' that has
befallen the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

"Rashed is regarded by many Arab journalists as an unofficial spokesman for
the Saudi royal family. He previously served as editor-in-chief of the Saudi-owned
Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper and his writings regularly reflect the views of the
Saudi establishment."

The readiness of Western journalists to assign blame to Israel for Gaza's hardships
while ignoring information to the contrary - even from Arab sources - is not
a new phenomenon. Last November, for example, the New York Times' Steven Erlanger
blamed Israel for an impending recurrence of the Gaza sewage disaster and ignored
Palestinian evidence which pointed to Palestinian culpability. Whether the
subject be human waste or fresh pita, it's unconscionable that journalists
allow Hamas spin to drown out opposing Arab voices.

A Grim (sic) Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, there was a pauper named Arafat who went on to become the Prince of Palestine -- a mythical land somewhere under the rainbow and not far, far away enough. A-Fat, as his adoring fans call him, became a billonaire on the backs of the eternal refugees in Never-Never Land. Yassir Arafat had absolutely no redeeming qualities, except for committing crimes against humanity, and an uncanny ability to spin a yarn so outlandish that none could possibly believe it...except for the brainwashed refugees, and the permanently-tenured, permanently brain-dead professors of Anti-American academia.

Oh, and let's not forget the liberal Left who always support the underdog, even if the underdog is a fighting pit bull on rabies.

Here is the legacy of A-Fat.

With a cadre of Palestinian and Egyptian "archaeologists" to take the ball and run, A-Fat constantly concocted tall tales of yore when ancient Palestinians roamed the Earth about the same time that Neanderthals were spending their winter vacations along the Riviera.

Actually, A-Fat's major contribution to the world of junk science and anthropology was "discovering" a suitable gene pool from some obscure ancient tribes which he could use to prove that Palestinians arrived and settled Caanan (aka the land of Israel) before the Hebrew exodus left Egypt and came a-knockin' on their walls.

A-fat's initial comparison to the ancient Phillistines turned out to be a bad choice because the Phillies (the barbarians, not the Baseball team), were sea people who lived along the seacoast in Gaza, and because they never established any permanent settlement in Caanan (or anywhere else, for that matter). The Phillistines made their living as marauders, doing drive-bys (well, sail-bys) and were more comparable to the Vikings of Greenland and Scandinavia who terrorized the countrysides of Britain and France, instead of terrorizing Israelis.

Since the Philistines never settled Caanan, Arafat had to search for another pre-Hebrew (aka Jewish) lineage to stake his claim.

Bingo! Here come the Caanans!

First of all, A-fat could not have chosen a more fitting group of misfits for ancestors. Caananites were the scum of the ancient world. If you thought that the Philistines were bad, they couldn't hold a candle to the psychokillers of Caanan. They created all sorts of "innovative methods of execution" long before any other group in history. They practiced child and human sacrifice, and would drink their blood to "gain strength" form their enemies. They raped and strangled "virgins" to appease their gods (maybe that is why there are so many virgins in the Muslim afterlife).

But, these minutia never fazed the ever-clever A-fat. The only thing that rang his chimes was the fact that Caanites were "there" before the Israelites -- IF you call "there," a temporary encampment.

In other words, they never stayed "there" or anywhere for too long. After they had exhausted the land and their resources, they would take off to pillage yet another village.

People ask me, "Why did a loving God command that the Israelites kill every living thing in Caanan, including women, children, and animals? Why didn't God do it Himself""

This is one of the most perplexing questions ever asked about God, but the answer is really simple:

In the 21st Century CE , and in every age since 1250-1550BCE, Jews have had to face one mortal enemy after another, who are all bent on not only the total annihilation of Jews, but also their heritage. After they escaped from one mortal enemy, Egypt, they arrived at the gates of another, the Caananities.

Sure, God could have kicked the Caananites out with a flick of his finger, but that would be analogous to the "Give a man a fish/Teach him how to fish" parable. In other words, the Israelites would have to learn how to not only defeat their enemies, but also recognize the existence of pure evil in them that is so strong, that its effects all living things around it.

Knowing that they could not exist "side-by-side" with an enemy who would not even break a sweat to eliminate the Jewish People, as they had with other cultures. In the face of that stark reality, and, of course, doing what God wanted them to do, they wiped the slate clean.

I know that some of you cannot justify in your mind the idea of a "preemptive strike," which, essentially describes their conquest of Caanan. However, the world,as a whole, was not quite as civilized and developed socialized, 3,000 years ago, as it is today. On the other hand, the Caananites and the Palestinians could have been made from the same mold.

Any way, I digress.

The point of this discourse was to remind readers that Jews, and only Jews, have been hated for more than three millenia -- which is a "distinction" held by no other people in the history of mankind. What other group in the world (and nation in the world) has to devote every single minute of every single hour to defending itself from outside marauders?

A-Fat had lots of fans who backed him up. We are now, at the point, where Palestinian, Egyptian, Iranian, and other Muslim "scholars" (aka people who don't know jack about Israel) have concluded that there never was a First or Second Temple in Jerusalem, that all of the Jews who arrived in "Palestine" before becoming a state, that they were refugees from Europe, that Jews are the descendants of monkeys and pigs, that all of the Jewish patriarchs were actually Muslims, and that, at most, 60 Jews died in the Holocaust.

Rod Serling...how could you miss this one?

We can all tip our hat to that fun-loving Roman Emperor, Hadrian, who decided to eradicate any memory of Israel by changing its name to Syria-Palestina -- named after the Jews primary enemies, the Syrians and the Phillistines -- and by also changing Jerusalem's name after he had the temple plowed under the ground.

For some, unknown reason, Palestinians do not pay homage to Hadrian, especially after all the things he's done for them.

The conclusion ot this story has yet to be written, but it bears noting that prior to Israel becoming a state in 1948 -- the year that five Arab states launched a war of extermination against Israel -- "Palestinians" were known as JEWS, not ARABS!

So, when was the mythical land of "Palestine" created? In 1964, by the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) three years before the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. The PLO went onto become the PA (Palestinian Authority) but their charter -- remains unchanged -- and in it, is a statement calling for the elimination of the State of Israel.

WHAT WAS THE REAL CIVILIAN DEATH COUNT IN GAZA? ZERO!!!

Yep. you heard me. Zero. Zip. None. Not only was Hamas using the Hezbollah playbook for help on how to fire rockets at Israeli civilians while using your own as human shields, it also took a page on "How to stage an Israeli massacre."

Of course, nobody stages massacres better than Pallywood, and nobody manipulates the mainstream media like the PPM, Palestinian Propaganda Machine. Remember Jenin? The massacre that wasn't?

In short, back in April 2002, the Israeli Defense Force s engaged what was the Mother of All Anti-Terrorist operations as it ran into a Palestinian hornet's nest, booby traps filled with explosives, teenagers and terrorists alike wielding AK-47's, hand grenades, RPG's, and all sorts of "primitive weapons" (as the MSM likes to opine). When the dust cleared, 27 Israeli soldiers were ambushed and killed -- needlessly because they, Israel, chose the risky tactic of using troops to minimize civilian casualties. Israel, clearly, could have used air power to flatten Jenin, but in its concern for innocent human life, it chose to go in on the ground, and they paid a terrible price.

In reality, 56 Palestinians were killed, of which only 10 were "civilians." I put quotes around "civilians" BECAUSE Palestinians dress themselves to look like civilians. Not even bandanas and head scarfs to identify them. The line between civilians and terrorists is cleverly and intentionally blurred.

That was the REAL casualty count. BUT, the MSM, especially the terminally anti-Semitic British press all quoted the "eye witness accounts" of ONE MAN, a man who did not even live in Jenin at the time. And so, the saga of Jeninograd began.

The press printed reports of "mass graves," "summary executions," "torture," and upwards of 500 to 1,000 civilian deaths, half of which were women. This charade, like all the others before it (Think Al-Dura), had no basis in reality. Since the media did not question the reports, the PPM had a field day.

When the truth finally had come out, the damage to Israel's image was done and no amount of backtracking -- which many media outlets REFUSED to do so -- was extensive, and let to an immediate call for a ceasefire.

Most recently, a Hamas leader spoke on Arab television admitting that they use civilians as human shields (link to be posted later).

Like Hezbollah had done in the 2005 Lebanon "war," Hamas planted its rocket crews on top of apartment buildings, in schoolyards, near hospitals, in market places, anywhere a strike by Israel would cause civilian casualties that they could exploit for political purposes, and run to the UN crying to have the "International Community" (the IC) stop Israeli aggression.

Even the alleged moderate, "Mahmoud Abbas," President of the PA, repeated Haniyah's claim (Haniyah is the leader of Hamas) that "Israel was committing a real Holocaust in Gaza."

The IC, MSM, and the UN must have thought that Abbas, the terrorist, had given up his terrorist ways just as they thought Yassir Arafat had done. Not a chance in Hell! Saying that "Gaza is the real Holocaust," was easy for a confirmed Holocaust denier."

If there is one thing that you should learn about Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, Islamic jihad, is that they have no compunction to murder their own citizens and use them as canon fodder.

So, in this most recent "incursion" into "unoccupied Gaza" -- not that it ever was "occupied" -- the single, solitary, insibstantiated report out of the mouths of one or two "Palestinian eye witnesses," Israel had killed 120, half of which are civilians including dozens of women and children."

So, just as there was the Jenin faux massacre fabricated by a lone, "eye witness," so too was there another faux massacre manifactured for public consumption.

I argue, and there is none to deny it, that Israel killed only terrorists -- militants if it will make you sleep at night -- and no civilians. That is correct. There were no civilians killed directly by Israeli ordinance.

Hamas has murdered more civilians as "Israeli collaborators" than Israel has killed "innocent civilians." sorry, but a terrorist in any other wrapper is still a terrorist.

It doesn't matter how many Hamas has killed because the number will always be less than Israel's.

So, to sum up. Hamas fires rockets indiscriminantly at Israeli civilians, from launch pads inside civilian areas, forces civilians to stay inside their homes from which they fire on IDF troops and tanks, using civilians as human shields, hoping to entice Israel to fire back at them and maybe kill their human shields.

In other words, Hamas, and only Hamas kills Palestinian civilians, not Israel. There were NO CIVILIANS KILLED DURING THE MARCH INCURSION INTO GAZA.

And, you can take that to the bank!
