![]() photo credit to owners Gaza Resident: We Are Biting the Hand That Feeds Us Monday, July 14, 2014 | Israel Today Staff While observers of the latest round of violence between Israel and Hamas are certain to hear many negative claims against the Jewish state, the residents of Gaza are also quietly expressing ire at their terrorist overlords. “Everybody here hates Hamas,” Gaza taxi drive Abu Ali told the Associated Press. “But they’re too afraid to say so publicly. Our food comes from Israel but what we give them in return is rockets — rockets that don’t even make little holes in the ground.” Abu Ali, as he indicated, is not alone. In the upcoming issue of Israel Today Magazine, we spoke to a young Gaza-based peace activist who said he wished Israel would just reoccupy the coastal enclave so that local residents could be rid of Hamas rule. As of Monday afternoon, Hamas and its terrorist allies had fired nearly 1,000 rockets and missiles into Israel over the past 10 days, resulting in an ever harsher Israeli response. Early Monday morning, Israel struck dozens of terrorist installations in northern Gaza, an area the IDF had warned local civilians to evacuate on Sunday. And while Monday was relatively quiet compared to last week, several volleys of missiles were aimed at Tel Aviv and its environs. All of the missiles that were expected to hit populated areas were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system. Israel also used a Patriot missile battery to intercept an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that made its way from Gaza to the nearby coastal city of Ashkelon. Hamas claimed that it had launched a fleet of six UAVs, but Israelis laughed off the assertion, noting that if they can accurately detect and track an incoming rocket, they would have noticed this Hamas “air force.” Hamas was also busy doing damage to its own people beyond inviting military reprisals. One of the rockets fired during the morning house struck the main cable carrying electricity from Israel to the Gaza Strip, leaving 70,000 local residents without power. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israel Electric Company to not bother fixing the cable for the time being to avoid placing its technicians in harm’s way. http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24750/Default.aspx |

Palestinian Official Acknowledges Hamas War Crimes Monday, July 14, 2014 | Ryan Jones Dragging Israel before the International Criminal Court on accusations of war crimes is a non-starter, said a senior Palestinian official, because the Palestinians themselves are guilty of blatant war crimes. “The missiles that are now being launched against Israel, each and every missile constitutes a crime against humanity, whether it hits or misses, because it is directed at civilian targets,” Ibrahim Khraishi (pictured), the Palestinian ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, told Palestinian Authority TV last week. By contrast, Khraishi said that Israel had very cleverly adhered to international rules of engagement, so even if the Palestinian death toll is higher, legally Israel is still in the right. “Many of our people in Gaza appeared on TV and said that the Israelis warned them to evacuate their homes before the bombardment. In such a case, if someone is killed, the law considers it a mistake rather than an intentional killing because [the Israelis] followed the legal procedures,” he explained. That’s not to say Khraishi has become a legal advocate for Israel. He was careful to also label as war crimes the “[Jewish] settlements, the Judaization [of Jerusalem], the checkpoints,” and so on. Still, there is no question that Hamas’ assault on the Jewish state is causing a severe headache for those involved in diplomatic and media efforts to delegitimize Israel. http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24749/Default.aspx |

![]() Arab Journalist: Hamas is Playing With Our Lives Sunday, July 13, 2014 | Israel Today Staff In a series of interviews on Friday an Israeli Arab journalist called out some of her Palestinian colleagues for failing to see that the suffering of their people starts with Hamas, not Israel. Lucy Aharish is a reporter and presenter for Israel’s new global news broadcaster, i24news. She is notable for having become the first Arab mainstream news anchor while working for Channel 10 in 2007. Speaking with Gaza-based journalist Alaa Al Mashehrwi last Friday (see video below), Aharish was told what most would expect to hear from a Palestinian reporter living under Hamas rule: that Israel is to blame for the entire mess and that the Zionists are indiscriminately killing innocent people. Aharish was having none of it. “I’m not expecting you to go against what Hamas is doing,” she told Mashehrwi, “but we cannot say that what Hamas [and its allies] are doing is to the benefit of the people who are living in Gaza.” Clearly frustrated by the Palestinian’s failure to acknowledge reality, Aharish insisted that “you know that Hamas is playing…a PR game at the expense of the people who are living in Gaza.” When Mashehrwi again tried to lay the blame on Israel, Aharish retorted that if the people of Gaza truly want a better life, they need to speak up and demand an end to Hamas aggression. “Where are you, where are the people, where are the journalists [that need to] tell to Hamas and to [Islamic] Jihad to stop?” she demanded. “You are not doing anything against the people who are hurting you inside the Gaza Strip.” Hebron-based journalist Al Kasmin similarly told Aharish that Israel is ultimately at fault for the current bloodshed, and that the Jewish state is purposely and unjustly practicing collective punishment against the Palestinians. In the face of such accusations, Aharish became somewhat animated, asking her guest, “Do you find it normal that terrorists hide under civilian houses and by [doing] that hurt the same people that they are trying to protect? Do you think that this is something that is normal, that these terrorists are actually making the Palestinian people lose their lives?” Video 1 http://bcove.me/q57n9nt6 Video 2 http://bcove.me/jvnip9eb http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24745/Default.aspx Edited by Flipzi, Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:42 am.
