The UN said on Wednesday night that the Israeli military had privately admitted that the shelling of a UN school in Jabaliya which killed more than 40 Palestinians on Tuesday was in response to militant fire from OUTSIDE, not inside, the UN compound.
This fact was ignored by ALL the mainstream media apart from Rory McCarthy in the Guardian.
Here is the same report on Reuters TV, and on Democracy Now radio.
Yet ALL the British papers carried the Israeli accusation that Hamas had been
firing rockets from within the compound: the BBC, the Independent, the Telegraph, the Times, the Scotsman, and the Daily Mail.
And here is the Israeli Defence Force official lie, cited everywhere, that “mortar shells were fired at IDF forces from within the Jabaliya school“.
Why has the fact that the IDF blatantly lied about this massacre not been reported widely?
An on-the-record, authorised quote from a UN spokesperson spilling the beans on a private admission by the Israelis that they were lying – surely a newsworthy story?
