We met when I was a speaker on high tech at an investment forum in
London a year back or so. Thank you for being so clearly in support of
Israel especially when we see the hypocrisy of organizations as the HRC
with one sided condemnations by countries with some of the worst human
rights records on the planet.
You know that Hamas is
explicitly using human shields and intentionally firing from within
hospitals, schools and homes. And the international press, if it wants
to keep in the good graces of the dictatorship, enables this by one
sided and false reporting. If they are inclined to report the truth,
which is rare, they are attacked by Hamas (see today's J-Post: http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Protective-Edge/Gaza-reporters-tweets-Hamas-using-human-shields-368689).
A bigger issue to bring to your attention and, which is not being focused on by our allies, is that the
CNN, BBC, The Times, even many Israeli websites are constantly
quoting the "UN says" that "70 to 80" percent of the Gaza deaths are
civilians. This makes the percentage look like it is an official figure
when you and I
know it is coming from the Hamas controlled "Ministry of Health". It's
pure propaganda and needs to be called-out for what it is. The
figure is no more than 50% and, may be much lower. How do we know? Since
Al
Jazerra publishes the age and sex of every person killed in the conflict
we know a lot. The number of children is being overplayed, the number
of
women is being overplayed and about 50% (assuming no women are involved
in the fighting) are fighting age males. Here is one of the links. -http://www.algemeiner.com/
But the best evidence came out yesterday, when Pilay stated that 600 Palestinians were killed, including at least 147 children and 74 women (UN human rights chief: 'Strong possibility' of Israeli war crimes in Gaza | The Times of Israel http://www.timesofisrael.com/un-human-rights-chief-strong-possibility-of-israeli-war-crimes-in-gaza/#ixzz38MYN2q19) Do the math - 37%. The rest are fighting age males, dressed as civilians, based upon directives by Hamas to make all casualties look like civilians to the press (they even publish this on their website). I hope you can speak of this when you are interviewed.
