Saturday in Gaza
Once again, actual news from Gaza on Saturday is very hard to find. SFGate has posted AP‘s story:
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 28 Palestinians including four children in the Gaza Strip, while 24 others were fatally shot on their way to an aid distribution site, Palestinian hospital officials and witnesses said Saturday. “The 24 shot dead were on their way to a distribution site run by an Israeli-backed American organization near Rafah in southern Gaza, hospital officials and witnesses said. Israel’s military said it fired warning shots toward people it said were behaving suspiciously to prevent them from approaching. It said it was not aware of any casualties.” And it you believe that….
The Haaretz story, archive.is/4jkL5 which also cites Reuters and its own reporting, offers more detail.
Sumaya al-Sha’er’s 17 year-old son, Nasir, was killed in the shooting near the site, hospital officials said. “He said to me, ‘Mom, you don’t have flour and today I’ll go and bring you flour, even if I die, I’ll go and get it,'” she said. “But he never came back home.”
Other than that, a Google News search on the headline shows that US pick up was by minor (but very courageous!) outlets.
Interestingly from a news dissemination perspective, the UK Telegraph‘s story, “American citizen ‘beaten to death’ by Israeli settlers” was picked up early this morning by Drudge which is now supplying what the Democratic Establishment wants to hear. Drudge has been almost totally silent on Gaza. Perhaps this heralds a shift.
Unfortunately the map the Telegraph supplies is 6 months out of date

Its all Trump’s fault for preventing Iran from carrying out justice on the Christ-Killers.
Muslims do not accept the Christian view of Jesus or his death. Khomeini asked western Christians to rise up against “colonialism”. Muslims do not have Israel only in their sights but many want to regain control of large areas of Europe.
