Photos the Guardian won’t publish: Israeli communities under siege from Gaza rocket fire


In the eight stories (and one commentary) the Guardian published about last week’s terrorist violence from Gaza, all but one accompanying photo depicted Palestinian suffering, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of those killed in Gaza were Islamic Jihad or Popular Resistance Committee terrorists (and all of those targeted by Gaza terrorists were Israeli civilians).

So, here are some photos depicting the real life consequences (of terrorist violence which began on March 9) on Israeli communities within range of Gaza rocket attacks - images of towns under siege not seen at the Guardian.

Gaza terrorist assaults on communities injured over a dozen Israeli civilians, forced hundreds of thousands into bomb shelters, and closed schools for up to a week.

  1. If there would be any possibility of publishing any of those photos, The Guardian would publish any of them before the fourth one. It might pull some moderate leftists away from the anti-Israel mantra if they see that a black child has been affected by Palestinian terrorism.

  2. That Palestinian Islamic Jihad poster at the bottom features the group of schoolgirls cowering for cover behind a bus. The perpetrators are proud of this “accomplishment”?

  3. This is what they are and what they do .
    Their pride comes from their handiwork . There is almost as much joy in the death of a Shaheed as the murder of a Jew . Their world is not of this one but the one to come . If there were no Jews to kill , they would be killing each other for this is what they are , all they know and what they do best .
    No Hi Tech , no silicon valleys . No medical research . Nothing , just a backward ,warlike bunch of Jew hating sociopaths and inbreds .

    • Yes,yes the Jews are the chosen people. We know.. First day looking at this & other Israeli/ zionism sites. Apparently set up because of virulent Jew hating, these sites are the most racist / Islam bashing going. I hope the Muslims of the world see what the Jews are writing about their Holy ‘things’… Oh no I forgot, everyones against u ,the people who want peace
