| Summing up the Mishrawi incident (JE Dyer) Posted: 18 Mar 2013 04:30 PM PDT J.E. Dyer has brilliantly put together the evidence that a Hamas rocket killed Omar Mishrawi, referring to my blog posts and others. "J. E. Dyer is a retired US Naval intelligence officer who served around the world, afloat and ashore, from 1983 to 2004. Her last operations in the Navy were Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom in 2003, and she retired at the rank of Commander." She was the person who I originally asked to examine the photos of the Mishrawi house to see if she agreed with me that the damage looked more like a Hamas rocket than an Israeli missile. After reading this, see who you think the bigger expert is - Dyer or the BBC's Jon Donnison who declared that "Most likely is that Omar died in one of the twenty bombings that the Israeli military says made up its initial wave of attacks." Oops – The IDF didn't kill Baby Mashrawi (and other things that didn't happen during Pillar of Defense)
Diligent readers of the Washington Post may know by now that UN observers in Gaza attribute the death of 11-month-old Omar Mashrawi, during Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012, to a Hamas rocket which fell short and hit a Gaza City home. WaPo initially reported the death using an AP photo with a caption that implicated an "Israeli strike." The corrected story has that reference removed from the caption, after AP removed it ina correction to its original posting with the photo. Numerous print and online news outlets used the same AP photo, however, with the original caption alluding to an Israeli strike. Yet bloggers doubted at the time that the damage done to the Gaza City home was caused by an Israeli strike. Elder of Ziyon's post on the Mashrawi question mentioned these doubts first, I believe, and got wide attention. Full disclosure: I am the correspondent with military experience whom he quotes analyzing the photos of the damage and assessing that it could not have been caused by an Israeli weapon. (For reasons my readers are aware of, I didn't have the time to write a post of my own on this topic, and it's Elder who deserves full credit for putting the argument together, with photo references, for public consumption.) My initial skepticism about the "Israeli strike" narrative was based on examining the photos of the damage. Later, as reports of eyewitness statements came in, it became even less likely that an Israeli weapon was what hit the home in Gaza City. Conflicting statements about the event For example, eyewitness accounts of a "mass of fire" hitting the roof were inconsistent with an Israeli weapon, which would be fuzed to detonate by proximity, timing, and/or command guidance, but which would not have descended toward the home's roof as a "mass of fire." The "mass of fire" report could well have described what was visible with a Hamas rocket hitting the home, however. (The baby's father, BBC Arabic journalist Jihad Mashrawi, said originally, in Arabic, that "shrapnel" hit his home.)  Mashrawi home: Not damage done by an IDF weapon. But some of the reporting in Arab media described the projectile that hit the home as a "tank shell" – which in this context usually means any type of common short- or medium-range artillery round, whether fired from a tank or not. It is frequently used interchangeably with "mortar," by the media and civilian eyewitnesses; it does not refer to ananti-tank round. Hamas uses former-Soviet shells for artillery fire, and uses the explosive material to make warheads for its indigenously assembled rockets. The level of damage in the photos is consistent with the amount of explosive in a Hamas "tank shell," something Elder demonstrates nicely with his photo comparison. The damage is much less than would be expected from an attack with an IDF stand-off targeting weapon, however, such as a guided bomb or air-to-surface missile. Related to that point is a third statement attributed by the BBC's Jon Donnison to unnamed Israeli officials, who reportedly said that the IDF was targeting "the building" – implied to be either the Gaza City home or a building near it – because there was a "militant" in it. This element of the narrative doesn't hang together, either as an implication about Israeli intent (Elder's takedown of the implication's idiocy is comprehensive), or in conjunction with the "tank shell" report from eyewitnesses. If the IDF were targeting a militant inside a building, it would not use a weapon like a "tank shell" to do it. Not an Israeli "tank shell" This is the case for two reasons: first, because a tank shell – even a modern, penetrating or anti-personnel tank shell – is not the weapon for ensuring an interdiction-type objective like killing specific terrorists; and second, because in Pillar of Defense, there was no ground-combat phase in which the infantry was engaged with terrorists in close combat, or in which the firing platforms for the "tank shell" were brought in close to the target. Using "tank shells" to go after terrorists in buildings is something the IDF does in ground combat, when its own troops have tactical objectives in an urban close-battle environment. (As with the IDF in Cast Lead in 2009, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps made great use of this approach in Iraq with newer munitions created for the M1A2 Abrams tank, including the 120mm M1028 "Room Broom" anti-personnel round. Scroll down for a summary at this link.) The purpose for which these modern tank shells are suited is denying terrorists a place to hide in urban combat. They target physical features of the landscape, destroying them or making them uninhabitable; they are not used to ensure that specific, named terrorists are targeted or killed. For tactical urban-warfare use, these "tank shells" must be deployed from positions relatively close to the structure or other hiding area a commander wants to deny to the enemy. "Close" in this case means 500 meters or less; typically, around 200 meters. Obviously, no Israeli tanks or mobile artillery were deployed that close to buildings in Gaza during Pillar of Defense. None entered Gaza at all. IDF artillery can lob some types of shells considerably further than that, but using those shells from a distance for an interdiction-type targeting purpose – trying to kill a specific terrorist or terrorists during a stand-off bombing campaign like the one in Pillar of Defense – would be a flawed approach. There are weapons better suited for the purpose (the guided bombs and missiles mentioned earlier). The IDF could be reasonably sure of causing damage to a buildingwith a "tank shell" attack, scattering or wounding whoever was in it, but would not have reasonable certainty of killing a particular terrorist. All that said, the level of damage visible in the photos indicates that what hit the Mashrawi home was not an Israeli "tank shell" anyway. It was a round too weak to achieve the objective of killing a specific terrorist – a form of malpractice it would be laughable to accuse the IDF of. Using a weapon that doesn't offer a reasonable guarantee of eliminating the terrorist – one that will do little more than poke a hole in the roof and rearrange the furniture, while still potentially injuring bystanders – would be an irresponsible use of force, and not at all characteristic of the IDF. When the Israelis attack terrorists inside buildings in Gaza, they use weapons of sufficient power to ensure the terrorists are killed. I am confident in assessing that during Pillar of Defense, when there was no IDF troop presence in Gaza and all targeting was done from a stand-off distance, the IDF was not targeting a terrorist in a building using a "tank shell." It's the wrong weapon for the desired effect, and IDF planners know that. Unlikely to have been collateral damage from a nearby strike An alternate theoretical possibility is that a flaming projectile was expelled from the explosion in an actual Israeli strike somewhere nearby, and ended up falling through the Mashrawi roof. That possibility is low, however, partly because photos of the damage to the home show kinetic effects, which would have had to be produced by blast. The flaming projectile would itself have had to explode inside the home, or have caused an explosion (theoretically, for example, of a propane tank), rather than merely causing things to catch fire. Whether such a projectile would have penetrated the roof is one question; another is whether an eyewitness would have called it a "tank shell." There are too many special coincidences necessary for this to be a likely conclusion about the event. Elder looked early on at the possibility that the Mashrawi home was affected by IDF strikes on a group of Hamas Fajr-5 rocket launch sites, not far from the Zeitoun neighborhood where the Mashrawi home is located. The distance of the Zeitoun cluster from the sites, anywhere from 200 to 500 meters, makes it possible that some fragments from the presumed blast area traveled as far as the Mashrawi house. But it is unlikely that anything heavy and flaming – a projectile that could penetrate the roof of the home – did so. Fragments flying that far from a nominal 500-pound-class bomb blast (presumably with detonation at or very close to ground level) would be small.  Child killed by Hamas rocket (not by IDF). If an IDF attack with the larger bombs used against big buildings (1,000- and 2,000-pounders) had set off sympathetic explosions from an ordnance storage site near the Mashrawi home, everyone in the area would have been aware of it and would have mentioned it to reporters. The Fajr-5 sites and large factory buildings identified in the IDF graphic at Elder's post are less than a kilometer – in American terms, less than half a mile – from Zeitoun. An explosion big enough to send lethal fragmentation that far would have been heard by everyone, would have put up visible smoke, and would probably have caused neighbors to rush out and discuss the event (not to mention capturing evidence of the blast on video). No reporting from the day in question indicates an incident or reaction of this kind. Ultimately, I consider it unlikely that whatever hit the Mashrawi home was frag from an IDF strike nearby. And, of course, even if the damage did turn out to be from an IDF strike, the fault lies with Hamas for putting rocket launch and storage sites so close to civilian homes. Media credulity about multiple false reports The positive evidence reported about the damage to the Mashrawi home points to a Hamas rocket, whereas it is not consistent with a direct hit by an Israeli weapon. At a certain point, the media's failure to recognize this has to reflect on the practice of their craft. From embattled regions of Africa to Afghanistan and Chechnya, there are very fine reporters out there who know what they're seeing, when they see combat and bomb damage. But there seems to be no critical eye cast by the major news organizations on reports coming from Gaza.  Scene from Syrian civil war (not from Gaza). Even without knowledge of weapons and weapons effects, however, the parade of false photo-essay depictions from sources in Gaza should give reporters and editors pause. As the Camera link in my second paragraph above reminds us, there was another damning piece of photo "evidence" at the heart of misrepresentations during Pillar of Defense. (I wrote it up at the time.) The lifeless body of four-year-old Mohammed Sadallah, who was killed by a Hamas rocket on 17 November, was paraded for grotesque photo ops with Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil, and the world media reported little Mohammed as the victim of an Israeli attack. Israel was not attacking in Gaza at all when the boy was killed, however, and even the New York Times concluded that he was actually killed by a Hamas rocket. Pillar of Defense also saw pioneering work from Hamas in the faked-injuries department. CNN and BBC both ran footage of Gazans carrying a supposedly injured man who – a few seconds later, in the same video – was up walking around as if nothing had happened. CNN made an on-air correction due to Elder's post on this video fakery. Meanwhile, the least-effort method of creating a false narrative from images is to simply swipe the images from another conflict, because who knows the difference, right? Thus was the image of a father clutching his bleeding son swiped from the civil war in Syria, and passed off by Hamas as an image from Gaza during Pillar of Defense. A method that exertion-free is bound to crop up more than once, and so Mr. Donnison of the BBC was caught up in a separate recycled-Syrian-casualty-photo incident. A third such incident was reported by The Algemeiner, when a site called Alarab Net, on 18 November, posted a photo purporting to show a massacred family in Gaza, which turned out to be a massacred family in Syria, photographed at least a month earlier.  Scene from Syrian civil war, not Gaza. This series of video- and photo-narrative fakery incidents is what we in intelligence call a "pattern." Richard Landes wrote an excellent summary of the pattern in November for the UKTelegraph, bringing in evidence from years past. It isn't a new thing. Hamas and Hamas's apologists in the blogosphere routinely attempt to create a false narrative through the use of images and unsubstantiated claims. News reporting from Gaza simply assumes Israeli guilt even where none has been established, as with the invalid narrative about Mohammed Sadallah's death. The more times this happens, the more careful Western media organizations should be about vetting sources and verifying the details of events. It's because they don't have a reputation for doing so that arguments like Robert Mackey's defense of the original, careless and slanted reporting on the Mashrawi incident come off as special pleading. Throwing up the argument that "both sides are at fault" is a cheap dodge, when the Western media are routinely complicit in falsely depicting Israel – in exactly Hamas's own terms – as extra-specially at fault. In the end, it does matter who killed the baby, because Hamas in fact kills its own people, as well as getting them killed, in the pursuit of its goals. That is the nature of the opponent Israel faces in Gaza. And that is the larger reality of which Omar Mashrawi's truncated, 11-month life is powerful evidence.      | ||

| Posted: 18 Mar 2013 11:15 AM PDT From Ian: Choose Your Side: The New York Times or Judaism American Jewry is often said to be divided between those who judge Judaism by the principles of the New York Times and those who judge the New York Times by the principles of Judaism. The former group was elated by Professor Joseph Levine's recent clarion call "Questioning the Jewish State" (NY Times of March 9), which advocated the expulsion of Israel from the family of nations. The latter group was dismayed and nauseated, and confirmed in its view that expecting ordinary decency from "progressive" Jewish professors is like trying to warm yourself by the light of the moon.If "Problem" Is Zionism, Peace Isn't West Bank Activists' Goal With President Obama due to arrive in Israel on Wednesday, slanted pieces on the Jewish state found their way onto both the front page of the Sunday New York Times and the cover of its weekly magazine today. I'll have more later on the newspaper story by Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren, which treats the erecting of homes for Jews in Jerusalem as an outrage that "complicates" the nonexistent hopes for peace with the Palestinians. But that piece is a model of objective journalism when compared to the magazine's cover story. The title of the article, "Is This Where the Third Intifada Will Start?" promises an investigation into the chances of more Palestinian unrest and violence. But what author Ben Ehrenreich delivers is not so much an answer to that question as an argument about why it should happen and an affectionate portrait of some of those who are doing their best to see that it does.A Little Village in the Hills, and the Monsters it Spawns That the NYT Magazine focused on Nabi Saleh while barely mentioning the convicted child killer celebrated by the residents of the town as an honored daughter (Arabic Wikipedia) indicates how manipulated its readers are.

| Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:30 AM PDT From Naharnet: Arsal is near the northeastern border of Lebanon, which would explain why Hezbollah - which openly backs and is fighting for the Syrian regime - didn't fight the rebels there directly. Hezbollah is based in the south, far away from Arsal. (UPDATE: Amiyena in the comments points out that Hezbollah also has a stronghold in Baalbek, maybe only 20 km southwest of Arsal. See also here.) Lebanese reaction to this attack will predictably go along party lines. Even though Hezbollah's entire raison d'etre is supposedly to defend Lebanon against "Israeli aggression" against Lebanon, those who support Hezbollah suddenly won't care a whit about Lebanon's sovereignty when the aggressors are their Syrian heroes . Meanwhile: Al-Joumhouria newspaper quoted the joint military command of the Free Syrian army as saying that the bodies of 38 Hezbollah fighters that were killed inside the Syrian territory have been sent to Lebanon to be buried secretly in in various villages .      | ||

| Major anti-semitic TV series started filming in Egypt Posted: 18 Mar 2013 05:30 AM PDT A major mini-series is being shot in Egypt this month, and news articles about it leave no doubt that it is meant to be a very expensive piece of incitement against Jews.
The purpose of the series isn't historical, however. It is meant to be a thinly disguised parable of how treacherous Jews have been for centuries. As the director says, the series is intended to "review the history of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula and the conflict with them until they came out of the Khaybar with a focus on the details of their social and economic lives, and their plots and temperament characterized by racism and treachery." Other articles describing the script went a little further, saying "The series focuses on the social and economic life of religious Jews at the time and how they managed and controlled other tribes. It reveals the features of their lives and their personal characteristics throughout history which embodies the spirit of enmity and hatred of others beside the treacherous nature of their repeated betrayals and abhorrent racism. The script writer has told the media that his story tells of "the extent of hostility between Jews and the Arabs from the days of Moses, and discusses Jewish betrayal and false promises." External shooting will be in Morocco after the major filming is done in Egypt. Chances are that this anti-semitic film will be one of those hit Ramadan TV mini-series in 2014.      | ||
| Egyptian army seizes military fabrics in Gaza tunnel; fears impersonation (update) Posted: 18 Mar 2013 02:30 AM PDT Every day the Egyptian media has a new story about how Hamas or Gazans cannot be trusted. Here's today's: The military has started an investigation over fabric it says it seized in a tunnel to Gaza to find out why the fabric was smuggled, where it was being taken and how it would impact national security, a military source in North Sinai Governorate said.That story about the 40 jihadis was yesterday's anti-Gaza story in Egypt. Yet even after Egypt's crackdown on the tunnels at the Gaza border, one still isn't seeing any demonstrations on college campuses or UN resolutions or "human rights" organization reports about the Egyptian "siege" of Gaza. Funny, that. Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh, alarmed at the deterioration in its relationship with Egypt, reportedly told an Egyptian Wafd party leader that "Egyptian blood is more valuable than Palestinian blood" in an attempt to calm the situation. UPDATE: A Hamas spokesman said that the materials "could" have been used for children's clothing. Taher al-Nounou, a spokesman for the Hamas government, said in an interview with Egypt's al-Mihwar television, "This fabric could be used in children's clothing, and you know children tend to wear such [military] clothing in festivities."Yeah, that's convincing.      |
