| You are still submitting posts consisting of quotations from others, which you justify by presenting them as experts. But a Palestinian-British film maker is no more an expert on the conflict in Gaza than the Australian-British actress you quoted earlier. They are simply two individuals who are critical of Israel. One could just as easily find individuals in the theatre and film world who support Israel. What is the point of quoting either group? A case could be made for the UN Special Rapporteur as an expert. Unfortunately the quotation from Francesca Albanese shows that, like many UN officials, she is absurdly biased. Her statement that ‘the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are being targeted because they are Palestinian’ is not just false but ridiculous. Israel is targeting members of Hamas, not because they are Palestinian but because they are members of a terrorist organisation who carried out a monstrous attack on October 7 which they have threatened to repeat ‘again and again’. Unfortunately Palestinian civilians, whom Hamas use as human shields, have lost their lives in the conflict. |
