New York Times and Palestinians
I am shocked! The New York Times admits Palestinians use hospitals to fire from and colleges for arsenals.
Dr. Jumaa al-Saqqa, a surgeon and spokesman for Al Shifa hospital, Gaza's largest, said Hamas forces had taken over the hospital and were using it as a protected firing position. "We're extremely depressed," he said by telephone. "I'm afraid to walk to my office in the hospital. Even in my apartment I'm afraid of a bullet coming through the window."
Strangely enough, suddenly the New York Times is questioning Palestinian claims - regarding the capture of Iranian operatives. The New York Times has seemed to have a policy of always accepting Palestinian claims against Israel at face value, almost never expressing skepticism. But when the claim is made about Iranian involvement in the strife in Gaza, Times casts doubt.
World condemnation... I am not hearing you....
