This morning at 9am, a ceasefire was supposed to come into effect between Israel and Hamas. At 9am, Israel indeed ceased attacking targets inside Gaza. In that time, Hamas fired some 50 rockets at Israel and announced to the world that it had not accepted the ceasefire.
At 11:27, some half hour after Hamas had broken the ceasefire, I tweeted the following:

Indeed, not a single tweet about the “ceasefire” from the Guardian for the next 4 hours. At roughly 3pm, after six hours of holding fire, the IDF reluctantly returned fire. And then about 20 secs later, this:
It would be comical if it wasn’t so pathetic.
This cartoon sums it up perfectly:
The Guardian just tweeted the following:
Its far more accurate, and I’m going to call it a win for Brian’s and this post (not to mention all the people that noticed it by themselves and tweeted to their original tweet) for calling them out on this.
The difference between the Guardian and Goebbels is that Goebbels did not hide from what he produced. In not one reference to the Guardian has any editor responsible for its content been named. Only when that happens, along with some background on them, is there a chance of that cesspool getting sanitized.
I’m just surprised the Guardian bothered to correct themselves. We are, after all, talking about a newspaper with no shame and even fewer journalistic standards.
That newspaper should not be allowed to operate within Israel. It is most definitely an enemy newspaper.
An aspect of Britain’s cultural decay has been the Jew-hating which is now bog standard among the chatterati therein. See Carolyn Glick on her most recent experience at a public debate in Oxford.
