Summary:
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad fired 1100 rockets at Israel
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad misfired 200 into Gaza
- Palestinian Islamic Jihad killed 11 children in Gaza
- Israel takes in the victims for medical treatment
- Israel is only one condemned by UN's @franceskalbs
Of 14 children killed in Gaza this past weekend, 11 of them were killed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets. Two were used as human shields by terrorists. One was killed near a wedding with facts still unclear. Research and details from @elderofziyon: elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/08/ap-fin…
Whenever Hamas or the Jihad kill their own people with misfired rockets, or position weapons in schools, everyone in Gaza is ordered to keep silent. This includes local and foreign journalists, as well as EU-funded Palestinian human rights groups.

@AP:
In a rare story, the Associated Press just reported how the Jihad rockets were the ones that killed many civilians and children this weekend.

Yet AP was afraid their reporters in Gaza would get tortured or killed, so they listed the dateline as “TEL AVIV”:apnews.com/article/middle…
Former AP reporter Matti Friedman: “During the 2008-2009 Gaza fighting I personally erased a key detail—that Hamas fighters were dressed as civilians and being counted as civilians in the death toll—because of a threat to our reporter in Gaza.”

“The policy was then, and remains, not to inform readers that the story is censored unless the censorship is Israeli. The AP's Jerusalem news editor submitted a story on Hamas intimidation; the story was shunted into deep freeze by his superiors and has not been published.”
Coming back to Francesca Albanese, the UNHRC rep who only condemns Israel, she will do all in her power to incentivize Islamic Jihad to fire more rockets at Israel from civilian areas ensuring the death of more Palestinians.

Per Wästberg added: “Since its inception, Amnesty has worked for the freedom of political prisoners worldwide. It has since gradually, sometimes debatably, expanded its mandate and become another, admittedly heavily branded organization with unprecedented influence.” Image
I wrote about Amnesty's metamorphosis: “In 1961, British lawyer Peter Benenson announced the founding of Amnesty with his article, ‘The Forgotten Prisoners.’ The new group would defend the freedoms of speech, belief and religion by campaigning...”newsweek.com/china-free-spe… /2
“...on behalf of those it called prisoners of conscience—any person imprisoned for expressing an opinion. During the height of the Cold War, persecuted dissidents in Communist or anti-Communist countries would receive equal attention.” /3

“Hamas warned local Palestinian translators of foreign reporters that they will be held responsible for what is produced, and they must “demonstrate national spirit, defend the Palestinian narrative and reject the foreigner’s bias to the Israeli narrative.”apnews.com/article/middle…
Ex-AP reporter @MattiFriedman, in 2014: “There has been much discussion recently of Hamas attempts to intimidate reporters. Any veteran of the press corps here knows the intimidation is real, and I saw it in action myself as an editor on the AP news desk.”tabletmag.com/sections/israe…
“During the 2008-2009 Gaza fighting I personally erased a key detail—that Hamas fighters were dressed as civilians and being counted as civilians in the death toll—because of a threat to our reporter in Gaza.”

Things The U.N. Will Never Tell You, Vol. 374: “Close to one-third of the Palestinians who died in the latest outbreak of violence may have been killed by Islamic Jihad-fired rockets that fell short.”

Many of the others were “militants.”

@AP: apnews.com/article/middle…
“If it turns out that Islamic Jihad harmed some of those it claims to protect, it would make for an even more humiliating outcome for the militant group and its main sponsor, Iran.” /2
“Gaza-based human rights groups investigating the strikes also declined to address the claims. But their initial findings indicate that at least some of the explosions were questionable.” /3

🚨 UN rep endorses violence: Today I called out UNHRC official Francesca Albanese for endorsing a “right to resist.” If you see the timeline below, it’s now clear this came after she tweeted that a Palestinian “right to armed resistance” is a “necessary conversation to have.”
In case it’s not clear, here’s the timeline.

20 hours ago — A commenter on her feed writes: “Palestinian armed resistance is a fundamental right…no one has the right to define terms or tools of Palestinian resistance.”

15 hours ago — Francesca Albanese replies to him: “That is a necessary conversation to have. It has been demoted from public discussion.”

So a UN human rights rep says that “the right to Palestinian armed resistance” is a “necessary conversation to have.”

After Palestinian terrorists just attacked Israel with 1,000 rockets, the U.N. Human Rights Council's Francesca Albanese says Palestinians have a “right to resist.” As she knows, for all Palestinian groups—Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Fatah—“resistance” means killing Israelis. /1
We call on @antonioguterres @mbachelet & @FVillegasARG to strongly condemn this ugly incitement to violence by a UN official.

The context makes it worse: Albanese has often compared the Palestinians to Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and implied that Israelis are Nazis. /2
Holocaust inversion is a recurring theme for Albanese:

She endorsed her husband Massimiliano Calì's post equating Palestinians with Jews resisting Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto: facebook.com/franci.albanes… ⬇️

Again, equating “Israeli & Nazi” soldiers: facebook.com/franci.albanes… /3

The strangest thing about Amnesty International issuing a report accusing Ukraine of endangering its civilians is that this is the same organization which for the past two decades has consistently ignored or downplayed the actual deliberate use of human shields by Hamas in Gaza.
2/ “Amnesty is monitoring and investigating such reports, but does not have evidence at this point that Palestinian civilians have been intentionally used by Hamas or Palestinian armed groups during the current hostilities to “shield” specific locations...”amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
3/ Pay attention: July 25, 2014. “Amnesty does not have evidence at this point.” Really?

July 8, 2014: Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri calls on Palestinians to use the human shield tactic on their homes: “We in the Hamas movement call on our people to adopt this procedure.”
