Israel Violated Cease-fire 7 Times

[tericared]

I understand this is an old article, so if that is an issue with you please move on.

American media are reporting violence that took place along the Gaza-Israel border on January 27th as, in the words of CNN, "the first incidents of violence since last week's Mideast cease-fire," telling the public that Palestinians broke the ceasefire.¹

The reality, however, is that Israel had already violated the cease-fire at least 7 times, the Israeli military killing 2 Palestinian civilians and injuring at least 5, at least one of them a child:

• Israeli forces killed a Palestinian farmer in Khuza'a east of Khan Yunis on Jan 18
• Israeli forces killed a Palestinian farmer east of Jabalia on Jan 19
• Israeli naval gunboats shelled the Gaza coast line, causing damage to civilian structures on Jan 21
• Israeli troops shot and injured a child east of Gaza City on Jan 22
• Israeli gunboat fire injured 4-7 Palestinian fishermen on Jan 22
• Israeli shelling set a Palestinian house on fire on Jan 22
• Israeli tanks fired on the border town of Al Faraheen, causing damage to homes and farms on Jan 24

This list does not include two Palestinian children who were killed on January 20th by unexploded ordnance left from Israel's 22-day assault on Gaza.² (Additional details about the above cease-fire breaches and citations can be found in the timeline below.)

It MAY be "old", but it shows the truth of who did what and when... I DO so wish more people would get this-- AND that they would understand that Isreal is STILL breaking this so-called cease-fire,, while Hamas (even) is NOT creating any problems.

Too bad that American citizens ONLY pay attention to American Zionist media, because Israel will continue to spread horrors throughout the mid-east and we will continue to endorse it BY paying for it.  Do Americans not even CARE that it's OUR MONEY that;s being used to kill Palestinians???  By now, they have to know-- so what is their problem?  WHY is this still happening, considering how much actual NEWS is available online?

I'll never get it!
