Israel escalating attacks in Gaza: Mainstream media frames it as ‘retaliatory’

I fear this will be a repeat of 2008, when the Zionist Occupation Forces bombed the hell out of Gaza after the November election, but before the inauguration.
Hmmm
It is rather disturbing to watch the “media” making constant references to Palestinian actions in Gaza against Israel without actually documenting any. The prisoners in Gaza live behind walls and barbed wire, it is an open air prison camp after all. Israel controls all access in and out of Gaza. The media never bothers to mention the fact that the People of Gaza have no army, no navy, no air force and no uncontrolled access to the outside world. In other words, there is no way for the people of Gaza to conduct ongoing “missile” attacks against anyone. It bears noting that out of the 1.7 Million people in Gaza the vast majority are women, children and old men. Surely Israel is not expecting the world to believe that it cannot control the flow of weapons in and out of one of its on prisons? After all Israel never ceases to boast to the world that it is have the best “security” procedures in the world. So which is it in Gaza? Are we to believe that in this one case, Israel’s security perimeter sucks and does not work against women children and old men? Or is it far more likely that Israel is simply lying about the “threat” from Gaza. And routinely stages false flags for which they have become so infamous to justify periodic bombardment of defenseless women and children?
Furthermore, under international law, the people of Gaza have both a legal and moral right to resist their illegal imprisonment and Israel’s illegal military occupation. A right which extends to using force of arms to do so. Again I repeat: the Palestinians have the both a legal and moral right to resist Israel by force of arms. That includes firing rockets at Israel. On the other, Israel has absolutely positively no legal or moral right to occupy Palestine, let alone bomb parts of it into oblivion. Nor does Israel have the right to annex it piece by piece as they have been doing since their occupation began in 1967. Under international law Israel has been committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Israel is also guilty of operating as an Apartheid state.
In short, Israel is continually committing the evil and contemptible acts of violence and terrorism which Bush Jr, Obama and the Congress has been using to justify the invasion and destruction of half a dozen Muslim Countries in the Region. Why is Israel allowed to butcher women and children, bomb entire cities and towns out of existence, invade and then annex land that does not belong to them with the full support of the United States? These are precisely the same actions, behavior and results that ISIS is being attempting in Syria. Which I suppose is not a surprise given that ISIS was created, is controlled and supported by Israel. ISIS’s primary purpose was and is to ensure that Israel is able to continue it’s illegal occupation of the Golan Heights and eventually annex that stolen land like it has done with Palestine using the same tactics that Israel is using in Palestine.
