Video: The Gaza Bombardment – What We’re Not Being Told

Thanks to Alice.

If you feet something isn’t quite adding up with regards the current Israeli military invasion of Gaza, this video may hold some answers.

Posted by YouTube user StormCloudsGathering, it questions the ‘official’ story and suggests that the ‘real’ reason for the current military action is quite different to what the mainstream news would have us believe.

Remember, as always, to use your own discernment.

Transcript of video:

“On July 7, 2014 Israel began a massive assault on the Gaza strip of Palestine. In the first week alone Israel dropped over 400 tons of bombs, killing over 130 Palestinians. Most were civilians, about half of them were women and children. By the time you are watching, the number will be higher.

“Israel’s official justification for this wholesale slaughter: the murder of three Israeli teenagers which Israel blames on Hamas. That’s not the real reason. First of all, Israel has not produced one single piece of evidence implicating Hamas or even a Palestinian in the murders, and in fact the evidence we do have indicates that murderers were Israeli.

“You see, on Tuesday July 1st, The Jerusalem Post released the audio of the kidnapped teen’s distress call to police, and in that call the kidnappers can be heard telling the boys to put their heads down in HEBREW. According to the Jerusalem Post, prior to being leaked to the public this audio was being held under a gag order by the Israeli government.

“So why is Israel really attacking Gaza? It’s not about self defense and it’s obviously not about avenging those three teenagers. Those are just cover stories for the naive. What this is really about is natural gas.

“It turns out that Gaza has quite a bit of natural gas on its coastline. One of the largest sources in the region. British Gas, which holds a joint exploration agreement for the area estimates that the fields hold at least 1 trillion cubic feet of gas. That gas belongs to the Palestinian people and they should be the ones to benefit from it. Israel disagrees.

“After the death of Yasser Arafat, under questionable circumstances, Israel has controlled those fields, and British Gas has negotiated with Tel Aviv.

“With power divided between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, the Palestinians have been too weak to put up any meaningful, resistance and Israel would like to keep it that way. The Unity Government between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority threatens Israel’s control of those fields, and as such it has to be destroyed.

“It’s pretty basic really. These are the real motives of all wars: resources, territory and power. They’ll always come up with an excuse, and it’s easy to fall for them if you don’t do your research, but there’s also a really easy way to avoid getting duped: always stand against wars of aggression. Period. Make it a matter of principle, and the facts and morality will always end up being on your side.

“And speaking of morality, even if those teenagers had been killed by Hamas, what kind of psychopath thinks that this gives Israel the right to
go and kill over a hundred people who had nothing to do with it? We’re talking about little kids here.

“I’m not going to show you the pictures of the dead or dying children here in this video, but I have looked at them, and as a father it’s almost unbearable to see.

If hearing about those bombs falling doesn’t phase you emotionally, if this is just a political debate for you, then go look at the pictures (these for example). You have no right to defend what Israel is doing, if you don’t have the courage to even glance at the consequences.

“And anyone who would justify these crimes after seeing the civilian casualties should be ashamed of themselves.

“The bombing heavily populated residential areas is a war crime, and the US government is funding it with your tax dollars. That’s right. Israel receives over 3 billion dollars in foreign aid from the US each year.

“Of course it’s no accident that you’ve never had face what’s being done to the Palestinian’s in your name. If you turn on the mainstream media at any point during this crisis all you’ll see is constant stream of reports
focusing on the Palestinian rockets being fired in response. These reports conveniently fail to mention that as of yet these primitive rockets have not killed one single Israeli.

“The Obama administration is also running with this artificial narrative.

“But the rockets, the rockets! Let’s all bring this back to the puny homemade rockets that the Palestinians are launching out of desperation and frame this as a question of Israel’s self-defense.”
