Hey Did You Hear About Massive Israeli Humanitarian Efforts in Gaza?
If Israeli humanitarian efforts aren't written about by the press, do they still exist? Yes:
Foreign Ministry Director General, Aaron Abramovich, notified representatives of the international donor community and humanitarian relief organizations of the new contact structure and its planned role at an urgent meeting convened this evening at the MFA in Jerusalem. Abramovich briefed the international representatives on Israel's efforts to help meet the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza and Israel's commitment to working with the international donor community and the humanitarian relief organizations to that end. Representatives of the aid community were also invited to share their views with the Israeli side, and related their concerns and needs.
In all honesty, there really is a risk of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But it's tough to know how great that potential is - to say nothing of working to avert it - as long as the Palestinians keep cynically rejecting Israeli aid just so they can paint an extra-miserable picture for journalists.
And as for the journalists themselves: if they would stop mindlessly parroting and rewarding these cynical Palestinian leaders, then the leaders would lose their incentive to sacrifice their populations for a photo-op.
