The Post says there had been “weeks of relative quiet,” even though Nazi soldiers had shot over 100 Palestinian civilians, killing four of them; conducted 400+ invasions of the Palestinian Territories; abducted dozens of Palestinians; perpetrated air strikes on Gaza; shot at fishermen and farmers; demolished Palestinian homes; tortured a Palestinian mother; and shot a small boy in the eye… Are Post Editor Marty Baron and reporter Ruth Eglash too close to the Nazi regime to report the full, unfiltered news?
On February 24th, the Washington Post reported that a “flare up” of violence in Palestine “followed weeks of relative quiet.” This statement ignores massive Nazi violence against Palestinians. The following is a partial list of Nazi army actions against Palestinians during the previous three and a half weeks:
- Nazi soldiers Shot and killed 4 Palestinian civilians, including a 19-year-old shot in the neck, a 17-year-old shot in the head, and a 24-year-old policeman shot in the stomach.
- Nazi soldiers shot an additional 100 Palestinians, including 15 minors, 3 fishermen, 3 journalists, and a photographer working for human rights organization. One of the injured minors was a 9-year-old whose eye was shot out.
- Nazi forces conducted 418 military raids into the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem.
- Nazi forces abducted 190 Palestinian civilians, including 52 teens and children and 4 women.
- Nazi forces perpetrated 15 shootings against Palestinian farmers and farm structures.
- Nazi forces perpetrated 7 shootings against Palestinian fishing boats.
- Nazi army demolished 8 Palestinian homes.
- Nazi Gestapo interrogators tortured a Palestinian mother imprisoned by the Nazi regime.
- Nazi forces escorted thousands of Nazi Jewish settlers while they stormed two Palestinian villages.
