Israel/Palestine

It is their home! Or was.

This woman tried to insinuate that the children were "human shields". That's where her question was going. I wish Piers had not cut her off but let her expose once and for all the Big Lie of the mythical human shields. That they were not "human shields" but children, wives, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbours. And that they were simply at home.

That Big Lie burned my a** since the beginning and I argued it in vain. At that time there were what seemed like hundreds of pro-Israel members, all having a go at me. Why it bothered me so much was that I knew that acceptance of that hasbara lie would lead to the destruction of Gaza, and then the ethnic cleansing made inevitable by it. Lo and behold...

I despised Piers Morgan's coverage of Gaza. It was so sycophantic to Israel, lacking in independent critical thought, at least in the beginning of. So I say that when you've lost Piers Morgan...

Happily he did the same thing to Israel's Ambassador to the UN recently. He was hopping mad and she deserved every minute of it. She is a piece of work too.
