Most of you have probably heard
of Fox News most famous bully Sean Hannity, personally I never bother to listen
to anything he says, but … I do enjoy it when others replay what he says and
–well- make fun of him and point out his biases, like Jon Stewart or Russel
Brand.
Recently I’ve watched this video
of his, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VaEOc6erZA
(not a fan of the title of the video, but we’re here for the content not the
title)
In this video, he’s responding to
Russell Brand’s criticism and satire of his –Sean Hannity- twisted logic and
barbaric bullying of his Pro-Palestine guests. You’re only considered to be a
respectable guest on his show if you’re pro-Israel. The interesting part
though, is that one of his guests makes the terrible mistake of admitting that
there are “two sides” to the story. The second he blurts out these simple little
words of truth, Hannity starts playing his same repeated -old- record, “3000 rockets!
3000 rockets! 3000 rockets into Israel! Rockets! 3000! .... !” and he would go on
forever if he could.
This video is almost over a
week old, so now the 3000 rockets are much more. According to your beloved “IDF”blog, they’ve reached 4000. Terrifying right? I mean you’ve said it
yourself Hannity, what if the United States was being targeted with over 3000
rockets? And I quote your words literally, “If 3000 rockets were fired into
America, wouldn’t you obliterate the infrastructure of the group responsible?”
True words of wisdom Hannity, really, I’m impressed you have some kind of
logic.
So, let’s apply this logic of
yours on the situation one more time. The statistics I’m about to share were
published on August, 9th 2014, so keep in mind the numbers have
definitely increased.
Until 12:00 pm on the 9th
of August there have been 5635 Artillery Shells attacks, 5630 Air Strikes, and
2450 Gunboats attacks over Gaza. There are over 1903 murdered Gazans by these
attacks, in addition to over 10,625 damaged houses (whether completely
destroyed or partially).
Now not-so-dear Hannity, when the
statistics say there are over 5630 Israeli Airstrikes –and here I’m not
even talking about the artillery shells
or gunboats attacks- over Gaza it doesn’t mean only 5630 rockets. No no, every
airstrike bombs several “targets”, as the IDF likes to call them, and these
so-called targets (that till this moment are mainly unarmed
civilians) could vary from 60 to 100, and by the end of the day Israel hits
over 150 “targets” (100-200 locations, which are either houses, medical
centers, schools, mosques, playgrounds …etc).
Now it’s time to use your
imagination.
Imagine how many rockets have
been fired into Gaza when you have over 5000 airstrikes targeting over a 100
locations daily. Can you imagine that? I sure can’t. The number of rockets
would be beyond tremendous, too huge that Israel needed to request an emergency
renewal of US ammunitions! As Jon Stewart has put it, “They were running out of
shit to blow up”. Just try to think of what this actually means.
It means they have used most of
their ammunition! And here you are, arguing over and over again about how
inhumane and unrealistic it is that Hamas fired 3000 thousand rockets into
Israel! Even though, according to your logic, it’s only reasonable that Hamas
would respond this way. I mean, wouldn’t you obliterate the infrastructure of
the group responsible of firing this amount of rockets into your country?
Sir, your double standards and
one-sided views are really getting annoying, and I’m only using the word
“annoying” just to be polite.
If you want to criticize
something or someone so passionately then please at least have ALL the
information, and not just pick whatever piece of news suits you. Journalism
doesn’t work that way, journalism is about being passionate, true, and a
deliverer of facts. Not using whatever facts you want to serve your own biased
agenda.
In short Mr. Hannity, GROW UP!
P.S. If you need reliable sources
for information, just let me know, since you’re not really doing a very good
job finding them.
