I’ve been in Israel for a week so I missed this story as reported by BackSpin<\/a> reporting an article in Tundra Tabloids<\/a><\/p>\n

It appears that Abdallah al-Hadlaq, a journalist for the Arabic language Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Watan, has slammed the Israeli left-wing pressure group ‘Breaking the Silence’ over its unsourced accusations of military misconduct during Operation Cast Lead, the campaign in December 2008 and January 2009 in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The BtS report gained worldwide coverage by the global media all too keen to condemn Israel without regard to proper journalistic investigative norms.<\/p>\n

It takes a Kuwaiti to speak up for the IDF:<\/p>\n

The report by \u201cBreaking the Silence\u201d was unfair, unbalanced, and lacking in proof, so one wonders where it was when Hamas used schools and homes for weapons storage or for missile launchers. Israeli pilots reported many secondary explosions after they hit Hamas targets. Where was that organization when Hamas smuggled tons of illicit weapons through a network of tunnels from Egypt?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
