Fair and Balanced
Seriously people, if it was this easy... don't you think they'd be hearing sonic booms in Arab countries 24/7?
{
--Booms Over Gaza--
The BBC and Guardian claim that IDF "sonic booms" are responsible for Palestinian miscarriages in Gaza.
Sidestepping the continuing threat of Qassam rockets flying over the Gaza border towards Israeli population centers, The Guardian reported that:
Israel is deploying a terrifying new tactic against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip by letting loose deafening "sound bombs" that cause widespread fear, induce miscarriages and traumatise children.
Both The Guardian and the BBC quote Palestinian Dr Eyad Sarraj, a psychiatrist, who, in a sweeping statement lacking credible scientific or medical evidence, claims:
the sonic booms are having serious effects on children in Gaza, including anxiety, panic, fear, poor concentration and low academic success.
Sarraj also claims that the number of miscarriages among pregnant women increase during periods of frequent sonic booms.
The Guardian states that 28 sonic booms occurred over the course of last week, in addition to 29 during a period in September - hardly a prolonged period of time in which to produce credible medical evidence to back up these claims. The anecdotal evidence of Dr Sarraj, the head of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program (an expert on obstetrics?) is used to back up the story.}
These claims are almost as entertaining as when the Pals made these 2 colorful statements:
1. Israel disseminated bubble gum that sterilized Palestinian girls.
2. Israel sent AIDS-infected prostitutes to infect Palestinian men.
I know this is a serious conflict, and more serious than we know... but c'mon... don't other countries hear and see this stuff? Is anti-semitism that strong that Europe can ignore all the crap they are fed and just repeatedly and blindly make nonsensical accusations against Israel without verification?
Whatever, no point getting upset about it... nothing ever changes anyway. Just thought I'd throw it out there since I found the article humorous.
