The press is making a hit on Israel killing children in Gaza, but what is left unheard is the killings by Hezbollah in north Israel.
”Israel’s Druze community was reeling in shock after a Hezbollah rocket killed 11 youth and
injured another 29 on a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams on
Saturday.
Most of the casualties were between the ages of 10-20.
As the casualties mounted, so
did Druze anger.
“This is a terrible disaster that must not be
ignored,” Israeli Druze politician Fateen Mulla told The Press Service of
Israel.”
Here is what Honest Reporting told of the attack: ”the
international media’s coverage of Hezbollah’s
deadly rocket atttack on July 27 represents another low in reporting
on Israel since the war began.
On Saturday afternoon, Hezbollah announced it had
launched 100 rockets at an Israeli army base in the Golan Heights, near the
Druze town of Majdal Shams.
But it landed in a soccer pitch, killing at least 12 Druze children.
”The Druze trace
their ancestry back to the Biblical figure Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses.
Israeli Druze serve in senior positions in public and
military life, and the bond between Jewish and Druze soldiers is referred to as
the “covenant of blood.”
The Druze speak Arabic but are not Muslim and are very
secretive about their religious beliefs.
The Alma Institute told The Press Service of Israel that Hezbollah rocket barrages on northern Israel are expanding in range, reaching deeper into Israel to unevacuated communities.
Matan Davidian of “Fighting for the North,” which
advocates for the nearly 80,000 Israelis forced to evacuate their homes in
northern Israel told TPS-IL, “We heard the Prime Minister in Congress say
that there is also ‘another way,’ and we say that the blood of our children is
not worthless! We call for immediate military action and not to settle for a
feeble response.”
Hezbollah leaders have said they will continue the
attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their homes. The attacks have
killed 23 civilians and 18 soldiers.
Israeli officials have been calling for Hezbollah to be disarmed and removed from southern Lebanon in accord. Attack ‘crossed every possible red and black line.
Israeli Druze fury at Hezbollah 28 July UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War.”
