Sacha de Boer 4


In het Achtuur Journaal van de NOS zei gisteravond nieuwslezers Sacha de Boer:
Grondtroepen schoten vandaag een leider van Hamas dood die verantwoordelijk was voor het afvuren van raketten naar Israel.’
Hoe weet mevrouw De Boer dit? Dat weet ze niet, ze leest zonder bronvermelding klakkeloos de propaganda voor van de Israelische militaire woordvoerders. Zijn die te vertrouwen? Nee, gisteren stuurde ik het NOS-Journaal dit bericht door uit de Israelische kwaliteitskrant Haaretz:
'UN: IDF officers admitted there was no gunfire from Gaza school which was shelled

The United Nations is claiming Israeli military officers have admitted there was no Palestinian gunfire emanating from inside an UNRWA school in Gaza which was shelled by an IDF tank.Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the shelling. In addition, UNRWA Thursday announced it will cease activities in the Strip due to the death of an UNRWA staffer in an IDF shelling during Thursday morning's humanitarian hiatus.UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told Haaretz yesterday that the army had conceded wrongdoing."In briefings senior [Israel Defense Forces] officers conducted for foreign diplomats, they admitted the shelling to which IDF forces in Jabalya were responding did not originate from the school," Gunness said. "The IDF admitted in that briefing that the attack on the UN site was unintentional."He noted that all the footage released by the IDF of militants firing from inside the school was from 2007 and not from the incident itself."There are no up-to-date photos," Gunness said. "In 2007, we abandoned the site and only then did the militants take it over."The UNRWA is now demanding an objective investigation into whether the school shelling constituted a violation of international humanitarian law, and if so, that those responsible stand trial.The UN reported Thursday that a Palestinian working for the UNRWA was killed by an IDF tank shell while driving an aid truck at the Erez border crossing. The organization claims the UN truck was well-marked and the incident took place during the humanitarian hiatus slated to allow Gaza residents to acquire supplies.'

Het NOS-Journaal verzweeg deze informatie bewust omdat het niet past in de pro-Israel berichtgeving en gaat gewoon door met het verspreiden van informatie zonder bronvermelding. Over het bewust verspreiden van valse informatie door het NOS-Journaal in een volgend stukje. Dan het opmerkelijke optreden van correspondent Sander van Hoorn.

Ik heb de NRC-redactie geschreven n.a.v. hun 'Chronologie' Gaza, waarin ontbreekt dat Israël op 4 november het bestand schond en dat Hamas daarna raketten ging afvuren. Met links naar berichtgeving in The Guardian, CNN en de Gazet van Antwerpen die daarover berichten. Ze doen er niks mee.
