John Prescott uses too much imagination and too little reality when writing about the Israel Gaza conflict. [mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/john-prescott-israels-bombardment-gaza-3918413] He imagines a nation that attacks hospitals, and children playing on the beach. He imagines 1,000 unnecessary and avoidable deaths, at least 165 of them children, in just two weeks - three times as many as were lost in the MH17 plane tragedy. Based upon these imaginings, he correctly urges that the state responsible for all this must be a pariah state, to be condemned by the United Nations. And he weeps in frustration because the protests he calls for are muted and the condemnation softened. He imagines that all this evil is Israels doing. He imagines that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is hawkish, and that he does a great job distorting the truth by speaking half truths. And he imagines that he, John Prescott, is presenting the full truth. Here is what John Prescott does not or cannot imagine: ^ Hamas is hawkish ^ Hamas is a viscious murdering group that preys upon innocent palestinians including women and children, ^ summarily executes them if they are suspected of collaborating with Israel, ^ if they trade with Israel, ^ uses them to camouflage and shield themsleves ^ uses hospitals, schools, UN locations etc to safely store their weaponry ^ steals from Palestinians, to enable their own continued brutality ^ denies Palestinians their hospitals, medical supplies, schools, clean drinking water, electricity, and all the common pleasnatries enjoyed by first world countries ^ openly declare in their charter, the glory of killing all Jews ^ openly declare in their constant public calls to Gazans and to Jews and to the world, the glory of killing all Jews ^ openly declare via their actions, the glory of killing all Jews ^ that Hamas indiscriminate rockets aimed at Israeli civilians is a war crime ^ that BanKeeMoon, is a war criminal. He, as leader of the UN, has permitted the UN machiney dedicated to Palestinians welfare, to be permeated and poisoned by Hamas and used to be used for war purposes. ^ that when an enemy is determined to use all their remaining resources, weaponry and ingenuity, and to dedicate all future resources and opportunities; to murdering Jews, there is no action taken in direct pursuit of removing that menace that is disproportionate. ^ that the call to free Palestine really means to free Palestine from the Hamas oppression. ^ that the Israeli Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare. - [Testimony of Col.
