The Guardian’s ‘Live Blog’ on the conflict in Gaza is titled ‘Hamas: killing of military chief by Israel has ‘opened gates of hell’ – live‘.
The blog, edited by Paul Owen and Tom McCarthy, noted (at around 21:00 Israeli time) that they were following the Twitter feeds of both the IDF and the Hamas military (Al-Qassam Brigades).
About 30 minutes later they posted the following about an IDF Tweet regarding their targeted killing, earlier in the day, of Hamas terror chief Ahmed Jabari.
Taunts? Chest thumping?
The Guardian’s pithy characterization of the exchange would lead you to believe the Islamist terror movement and the Jewish state were involved in some sort of schoolyard scuffle.
Thus far, the Guardian hasn’t seen fit to post this video of the following “taunt” of Israeli “rats” by Jabari:
The end result of the IDF action in Gaza today was that – sadly for some – Jabari will never get the chance for his own “chest thumping” over the liberation of Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Aviv.
Ironic choice of words since chest thumping is a popular past time in the Arab world usually leading to (self) emasculation.
Three Israelis killed in rocket strike from Gaza; intensive Israeli assault leaves 13 Palestinians dead, including a 11-month-old baby.

Why is everyone so baffled over these tweets? Never seen media used for wartime propaganda before? Have they ever heard of Tokyo Rose?
“Have they ever heard of Tokyo Rose?”
Heard of her? They’ve modeled themselves after her.
I’ve never seen the US Ministry of Defense post photo of people they had jad killed online. Have you?
Ever heard of the Bin Laden liquidation, trolling scum?
The SEALS not only got a book deal out of it, NG produced a full-feature documentary on it.
Now, go to hell.
I’ve never seen the US Ministry of Defense post photo of people they had jad killed online with an “elimitated” sign on it. HAVE YOU?
I have never seen any anti-Terror ops get a book deal.
Nor a TV show, save for these US seals.
Have you, you pathetic troll?
There’s no such thing as the US Ministry of Defense. Now go to bed.
Commentary please go easy on Nat, he’s mourning now, he lost one of his beloved friends.
Peter, thuggish posting is unbecoming when civilians are dying, including an 11-month-old baby.
Nat at the moment only an Israeli child has been killed by your fellow travellers.
The death of the Palestinian baby is probably a lie.The Pallywood filmindustry is publishing pictures on Twitter from the Syrian uprising saying that they are Gazan casualties. Most of the 13 palestinian killed were terrorists and not civilians.
But you are not alone condemning the Israeli attack – you have friends doing the same: Bashar Assad took a break from massacring his compatriots and condemned Israel’s heinous acts. Probably he has the same IQ as you have. Are you an unsuccssful eyedoctor too Nat?

The IDF issued an “Eliminated” poster. That does sort of qualify as “chest-thumping”. So what?
