The ‘poor Palestinians’ shuck

Barry Rubin explains the latest wrinkle. Same as the last one.

“Rockets from the Gaza Strip continue to pound Israel. And much of the Western media blames: Israel. I want to explain again how this system works:

“What follows is a seven-point pattern that goes something like this: Someone shoots at your spouse, you punch the attacker, he yells, ‘Ceasefire!’ then kicks you in the groin and takes some more shots at your spouse.

“You try to defend yourself. The police stand by doing nothing and then declare you to be the aggressor for breaking the ceasefire.”

Fortunately, enough Israelis are getting fed up with this scenario that they may finally stop worrying about Western media. As well they should.
