We continue our day of how exploring will liberal news outlets and Islamist apologists are trying to obfuscate the act of war committed by the armed wing of the sitting government of the Palestinian Authority. We’ve already done “the Palestinians are just activists” and “it’s a cycle of violence”. LGF passes on it’s Israels fault. This might have to be our last post on the subject, however, because this Guardian angle seems unbeatable:
Palestinians hunt for Israeli hostage. Palestinian security forces under the command of the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas were desperately searching today for the Israeli soldier kidnapped by militants the previous day, as the army massing on Gaza’s border stood poised to invade.
Don’t you see? The Palestinians are not the hostage takers – they’re the ones doing their best to get the hostage back! As opposed to those warlike Israelis, who just want to invade and kill people.
Oh by the way – there were stories going around earlier today that Gilad Shalit was being held by some random splinter group. Turns out he’s actually in the custody of senior Hamas officials.
