(CAMERA) Gilead Ini - On Sep. 27, Bloomberg journalist Zach Mortice wrote: "Since 2007, Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade. In response, Hamas militants have attacked Israel with suicide bombers and missile attacks." According to Bloomberg, Hamas suicide bombings were triggered by Israel's blockade. But this is a lie. Hamas suicide bombings began in the 1990s, but virtually ended after 2005, before Hamas' election victory in January 2006 and before the blockade. Missile attacks from Gaza likewise preceded the blockade. The naval blockade wasn't imposed until 2009, following a surge of Palestinian rocket fire. Yet the story bungles cause-and-effect to erase Hamas extremism and implies Israeli fault. A key issue - whitewashed by Bloomberg - is Hamas' indiscriminate rocket fire, which is a war crime and is driven by the group's extremist, anti-Semitic and violent ideology. Israeli restrictions on Gaza followed the increases in Hamas rocket fire. To suggest that Hamas attacks on Israel were a response to the blockade is historically illiterate. 2021-10-04 00:00:00Full Article
