The Sun's relentless anti-Israel campaign. Now Jeremy Clarkson supports the MP who wants to kill Israelis

The Sun is now officially, it seems, Hamas's mouthpiece in the UK. Its campaign of hatred against Israel is having a big influence on many otherwise completely uninformed Brits. Following on from my earlier report, the last week has seen the pieces shown here.

Remember that these reports are significant because they are the ONLY information about the conflict the Sun provides. Every day a simple short story - provided by Hamas in Gaza - of Israelis killing Palestinian children, along with the obligatory picture of a crying child. Never the suggestion that the civilian deaths were the responsibility of Hamas's human shield policy or that many of the 'bombings' in Gaza are actually Hamas rockets falling short or secondary explosions of arms caches. But most important is that the Sun has never mentioned any of the following:
  • The thousands of rockets fired against Israeli civilians by Hamas and the fact that Hamas are the elected government of the people
  • That Israel only launched its offensive when Hamas refused to stop firing rockets. 
  • The damage the rockets cause in Israel nor even the deaths and injuries.  
  • The suffering of Israeli civilians, including 2 million children who have had to live in bomb shelters for 4 weeks now. And the complete shut down of normal life in the entire country (including the shut down of all international flights for 3 days).  While almost every day the Sun prints one of the staged photos of a 'suffering Palestinian' it has never once shown Israelis.
  • Israel's relatively low civilian casualty figures are due to the fact that a) the country is living in bomb shelters; and b) it pays for an expensive missile protection system (Iron Dome). 
  • Hamas use of human shields in buildings from which they are firing  and storing rockets 
  • The discovery of rockets in two UNRWA schools and several hospitals, and the fact that UNWRA gave the rockets back to Hamas when they found them.
  • The incredible extent Israel goes to in order to avoid civilian casualties (unlike any other nation in the history of warfare). 
  • The dozens of Israeli soldiers now being sacrificed to avoid Arab deaths because the Israeli Government demands they go house to house to find the tunnels and weapons caches rather than bombing those sites.  These guys are simply young conscripts just out of school.
  • The dozens of terror tunnels that Hamas has built (using billions of aid money from the EU and US) and is now using to mount attacks inside Israel (and was planning to use for a major massacre of Israeli civilians. If Hamas had used the money to build bomb shelters rather than tunnels there would have been no civilian casualties.
  • All Palestinian casualty figures are provided by Hamas or "UN sources in Gaza" who are Hamas affiliates who have always been proven to lie about them. The vast majority of those killed are Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.
  • The genocidal Jihadist beliefs of Hamas, including their charter which calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews in the world.
Also remember the Sun never reports on the thousands of people (including mainly Muslims) who are being massacred every week by Muslims in various parts of the world. Only Muslims 'killed by Jews' are of any interest to the Sun. And that attitude is now reflected across the whole of the UK (yet another mass anti-Israel demo was held in London today).

But if you think all of that is bad just look at what the Sun columnists have to say. In today's issue Jeremy Clarkson came out in strong support for antisemitic LibDem MP David Ward who said he would fire rockets at Israeli if he lived in Gaza. Clarkson says he would want to do the same thing.


Jeremy Clarkson column, The Sun 26 July: He would want to kill Israelis if he lived in Gaza
This follows on from this disgraceful column earlier in the week by Louise Mensh. She is adamant that Israel has NO right to defend itself because (at the time of writing) only two Israeli civilians had died. Her disgust in this conflict is restricted to Jews defending themselves and she promotes the complete lie that the Palestinians of Gaza hate Hamas, citing "a reputable pollster in the region". Well it is true that only 75% voted for Hamas in the one election they had, but the most recent 2014 Pew survey (which really is reputable) found that 93% of Palestinians hated Jews (yes that is Jews not just Israelis).

And it is that hatred of Jews which is driving the world-wide frenzy of Israel hatred and love of the terrorists of Hamas.

"The dozens of terror tunnels that Hamas has built"
And you've failed to mention the blockade of land, air and sea by Israel that's resulted in Gaza having one of the highest petrol costs in the world, rolling blackouts and a lack of medicines and building materials.
Israel is already "defending itself" with the 700kms of fence and wall, the thousands of Palestinian prisoners and the complete control over Gaza that fuels the hatred of Israel.
If you where blocked in, how do you think you would respond?

Just as Phil said, you conveniently left out the blockade part. Keep asking yourself, why did Hamas shoot rockets over the wall in the first place. Palestine's economy suffered and unemployment has risen so much in one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Think logically and put yourself in a Palestinian's shoes. You'd be shooting more than rockets at Israel for your survival.

To the above two bozos Phil and Amir:
When Israel completely left Gaza in 2005 (ethinically cleansing the 9000 Jews who lived there) there was NO blockade. Moreover they left behind a flourishing multi-million pound greenhouse industry. The Palestininans VOTED in Hamas who first massacred their local opponents and then started firing rockets daily into Israel. Despite this Israel STILL provides food, medicine and electricity to Gaza. And Hamas spends the billions it gets in foreign aid on buidlin g its terror tunnels.

Didn't even really need to look to have it confirmed that this is an anti-Semitism posting ... Oh god just give it god damned rest will you. If the world is now anti-Israel, which it now undoubtedly is, then it is simply unfortunate that Israel is a Jewish State is it not??? This obliteration of Gaza has been planned for a long,long time. Does Israel/USA think that their lies, misinformation, underhandedness, brutality, warmongering, greed, manipulation, murder, atrocities, slyness, unholy love of money (yes I do know that it is indeed unholy), human rights abuses etc etc goes completely unnoticed???? Trust me when I tell you it is not going unnoticed and the perpetrators will ultimately be returned to the hell from whence they came. I had to sign in as 'anonymous' - I for one am not afraid of you and my name is Lynn.

If you imprisoned me in an illegal concentration camp I'd dig tunnels. Please listen to the world who are sick of hearing your pathetic lies. Leave the illegally occupied land that you have claimed as your own, lift the blockades on Gaza and accept your war crimes and trust me there will be no tunnels, suicide bombers or rockets. This behaviour has been born from decades of torture humiliation and murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians by israel. Give the world a rest because all the problems in the middle east stem from Israel's perpetual encroachment on Palestinian land.

Just be good neighbors, Hamas and everything will be fine, and use the building materials you will now be getting actually to rebuild your infrastructure and to improve your own people's lot.

And who the hell is Jeremy Clarkson anyway?

The Imam.

To Amir & Phil,

Israel has no "control" over Gaza, Israel withdrew from Gaza a long time ago.

Israel supplies fuel and electricity to Gaza and allows some merchandise to pass through.

Nobody put a blockade on Gaza for no reason, the reason for the Blockade are rocket attacks and other terrorist attacks, this is like the chicken and the egg problem, so let me fill you in on which came first.

The Palestinians are not interested in living in peace, they don't want the Jewish State there, if they did, we wouldn't have any problems and they would be allowed to roam free and do as they wish.

To support my last paragraph I will bring some facts to the table. Prior to 1967, there was no such thing as "Palestinians", there was no Palestinian flag, no currency, no President, no anthem and they never insisted on having their own country. Surely there were Arabs, Jews and others who lived on the land.

The Palestinian are jealous of what Israel achieved as a nation, then there is the whole religious thing.

As for the blockade, Gaza receives plenty of money from Iran, UAE and the US. If they started investing the money in self development, they wouldn't be where they are today, but instead all they are busy doing is plotting how to get rid of Israel, so good luck, been trying that for the past 70 years, only to keep failing; This is called insanity.

Response: please show us proof where the land is "illegally occupied". The land was there before Israel existed, once Israel was born, YOU and YOUR kind had some sort of a problem with it, so if you got issues, go take them out on someone else. The UN recognized our State in 1948, sorry if that doesn't suit your agendas. Nobody in Gaza is in a concentration camp, stop trying to appeal to our World War II experiences as if your people are having the same problem. They are not being gassed, they did this to themselves purely due to the fact they don't want the State of Israel to exist, simple as that.

Nobody murdered "hundreds of thousands" of Palestinians, nobody murder them at all. They get shot when they try to stab, shoot or blow something up.

If you're so concerned about how many Arabs die, you should give some attention to Syria.
