Just another @WashingtonPost lie about Gaza fatalities

The Washington Post headline says:

Over the last week, Israel has unleashed a wave of airstrikes across the besieged Strip.... that Palestinians and humanitarian workers likened in intensity and lethality to those in the early weeks of the nine-month war.

Really? Because even Hamas disagrees.

The Hamas-run health ministry numbers claim that during the first four weeks of the war there were 9,485 killed - an average of 2,371 per week. 

That is five times the number claimed by that same ministry over the past seven days: 466.

Since the humanitarian pause in November, the number of weekly deaths in Gaza has gone steadily down, even according to the Hamas authorities. Here's a chart.

The bump in the past week was entirely from Israel's airstrike aimed at the head of the Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Deif, nearly the most valuable military target in Gaza that more than justifies the apparently high death toll, according to the principle of proportionality under the laws of armed conflict as applied to every other war since the Fourth Geneva Convention was written.

But even with that airstrike, the number of fatalities this past week was less than every week of the war from October to April (excluding the humanitarian pause in November.) 

The Palestinians and health workers are proven to be liars. The Washington Post embraces the lie so much that they place it in their headline. 

Quoting the health workers and Palestinians saying the lie does not exonerate the newspaper. It should fact check them, and anyone who has been following the war - including the reporter Miriam Berger -would immediately know that it is a lie. 

This is not an oversight. It is not a mistake. It is a consciously false attack on Israel by the Washington Post.

Washington Post quotes a terrorist saying there is no proof his group has ties to terror

This is almost surreal. From the Washington Post:

Israel closed the offices of five leading Palestinian rights organizations in an early-morning raid in Ramallah on Thursday, tightening its restrictions on civil society nearly a year after it labeled the organizations terrorist groups in an internationally criticized move.

The designation last year led many European supporters to suspend funding of the groups. But the European Union said Israel has not provided sufficient evidence proving PFLP ties.

“These accusations are not new and Israel failed to convince even its friends,” Shawan Jabarin, the director of al-Haq, an internationally respected human rights group that was among those targeted, told the Associated Press on Thursday.

 Jabarin himself has been a PFLP terrorist! 

It took me minutes to Google his name and PFLP in Arabic to find this, where Jabarin represented the PFLP in a West Bank committee on an old failed reconciliation plan:

Even better - this Sama News article from the same time period has Jabarin pulling double duty in representing both Al Haq and the PFLP at the exact same time!

The Government of Israel has lots more about him and other PFLP operatives in these organizations, you can download an entire booklet on the topic here. They list over a hundred links between terror organizations - primarily socialist, like PFLP - and so-called "human rights" and "civil society" groups. 

No one can seriously doubt that these links exist.

I don't know whether the NGOs are funding the terrorists, or if the ties are otherwise direct. But why should that matter? The terror groups want to destroy Israel by any means, and the socialist terror groups have been using the fiction of "human rights" NGOs to do the exact same job the people with bombs do, just a different weapon. To be sure, because they have gained enough prestige to partner with nd be funded by international NGOs and European countries, they keep their aims cloaked, but their goals are clear: th end of the Jewish state.

How can the Washington Post and other Western media not realize this? The evidence is overwhelming.

I will give $100 to the charity of choice of anyone who finds a single case where any of these NGOs that Israel is calling out have ever condemned a PFLP terror attack.
