Failure of Decency

The Hamas-created power failure in Gaza has of course led to the U.N. and the usual sources condemning Israel. Read this Honest Reporting article about the latest efforts to blame Israel: "Today's headlines include the LA Times's 'Gaza dark amid Israeli blockade' and The Guardian's
'Gaza plunged into darkness as Israeli fuel blockade takes effect'. Similar headlines appear in many media outlets. You could be forgiven for thinking that Israel has cut off the entire electricity supply to the Gaza Strip.Despite ongoing Qassam attacks from the territory, Israel has not switched off the electricity. In fact, Hamas itself shut down Gaza's only power station after inviting the media to watch it do so....Once again, the mainstream media has wittingly or unwittingly fallen into the Hamas trap. By plunging Gaza into darkness, the terrorist organization has managed to shift the story away from its own responsibility for the Qassams and terror on Sderot. Instead, Israel's image is taking a beating for a perceived humanitarian crisis of Hamas's own making."
