What a disgrace. Unadulterated propaganda from Hamas in the person of a Gazan physician screaming "woe is me." No mention of the hundred of Palestinian rockets that Palestinians have launched on Israel (something most Palestinians support), offers of humanitarian aid (declined by the Hamas government), that the "women and children" being held in Palestinian prisons are there on terrorism charges...this is a new low even for the Globe.
My life in Gaza by Mona El-Farra
I am already starting to lose track of days and nights, of how many bombs have dropped. Since the main power plant was destroyed, we have had to live with no electricity. What we do get is patchy, and barely enough to recharge our mobile phones and our laptops so that we do not lose all touch with each other and with the outside world...
Sorry Mona, you don't choose war then cry victim.
This crud is more like something that should be published on fringe sites like Electronic Intifiada or Counterpunch, not a major metropolitan newspaper.
It's a reprint from one of those far-left anti-Israel sites. I've seen it somewhere before, last week, I think.
Color me unsurprised to see a major newspaper reprint it.
I'm with Ms. Yourish on this one. I would be surprised if something like this were NOT published in the Globe, the NYT, the Philadelphia Inquirer, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Miami Herald, etc., etc. They hate Israel, period, end of story.
