A shocking video from CNN shows a Palestinian in Gaza being interrupted by an Israeli air strike during a live interview.
The segment entitled ‘Living in the Conflict Zone’ involved a debate between Gaza resident Mohammed Sulaiman and Israeli Nissim Nahoom.
Nahoom argues that civilians in Gaza and Israeli cities like his home town of Ashkelon, a target of Hamas missile attacks, are experiencing the same fears but that the situation is worse because Palestinian attacks are designed to “hurt as many civilians as possible”.
The background noise of bombings can be heard throughout the interview, but at the 2:53 mark a huge explosion is heard which makes Sulaiman flinch, and in turn pretty much destroys Nahoom’s argument that the suffering of Israelis and Palestinians is comparable in any way.
“Sorry, carry on with you question,” remarks Sulaiman as further huge explosions are heard.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
“You can hear everything,” he adds as the sound of the air strikes outside drowns out the sound of his voice.
When asked what the noise was, Sulaiman replies, “These are Israeli war planes bombing the Gaza Strip,” adding, “I’m not going to allow these bombs to interrupt me from having this debate with you and your guest.”
However, before he is able to finish his point, Sulaiman recoils as a mammoth explosion shakes his house and sounds of screaming are heard in the background. The CNN anchor later confirms that Sulaiman is OK.
Although the indiscriminate firing of rockets from Gaza into Israeli cities has been rightly condemned, any debate about who is living under the most terror is clearly a moot point just by looking at the numbers.
During the last conflict between Gaza and Israel in 2008/2009, over 1400 Palestinians, many of them women and children, were killed by Israeli air strikes. In comparison, 13 Israelis were killed, four of which were due to friendly fire.
This month’s attacks have produced similar figures – three Israelis killed compared to at least 82 Palestinians and more than 680 injured since Wednesday last week.
Deaths on both sides are deplorable, but when Palestinians are being killed at a ratio of 100 to one, only an idiot or a liar could still believe the propaganda that Israel is merely “defending itself against terrorists,” when the Zionist state is clearly engaging in massacres by relentlessly bombing densely populated areas.
However, the ludicrous notion that Israel’s aggression is proportionate has been upheld by none other than Barack Obama, who today stated that the United States is, “Fully supportive of Israel’s right to defend itself from missiles landing on people’s homes.”
The video below illustrates the kind of firepower Israel is raining down on citizens of Gaza, which the IDF claims is “pinpoint” and “clinical”.

Dear Mr. President,
Sent to White House.gov
Sadly I am related to you or actually, you are related to me as I was born first.
I wanted to question you on your comment about Israel’s latest Murdering of the Palestinians.
I would like to QUOTE you as saying…
“Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory,” Obama said at the start of a three-nation tour in Asia.

Does this also mean that the MANY COUNTRIES that your massive Murder Machine is droning to death civilians with zero proof of guilt would also mean that they too can defend themselves against all US aggression also?
Another issue;
PFC Bradley Manning.
Charged with Aiding the Enemy. Would your office please state WHO that Enemy IS. (Not using Bill Clinton’s “IS” either?
I asked this because we have 100% evidence that the United States Government is in 100% Violation of the NDAA, Patriot Acts and the Lugar-Obama Act in the supplying Weapons and Monies to the Al Qaeda/NTC/Rebel’s/FSA etc. Also De-Listing the Mujaheddin (MEK) and Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood as well as V.P. Biden saying that the Taliban isn’t an enemy of the US and confirmed by the White House and Welcomed by the Taliban. So WHO??? Who has Bradley Manning “Aided as an Enemy?”
I personally would love this question answered as Millions of other American’s would also too.
Thank you.
Not sure if I too will be Droned to death for asking this?
