In the eyes of the

It’s not often that words fail me, but the decision of
the Guardian’s editor, @kathviner literally leaves me speechless.

A 21 year old girl, Razan al-Najjar, was murdered in cold blood by an Israeli sniper in Gaza. She had her hands up whilst running to help the wounded. What is the reaction of the
Guardian’s gutless corporate editor, Kath Viner? To censor the cartoon of the Guardian’s
brilliant socialist cartoonist, Steve Bell, which features Netanyahu and
Theresa May at Downing Street with Razan in the fireplace.

In the twisted, racist mind of @KathViner, the
fireplace has become an oven. And as we
all know ovens are only used for burning Jews.
No one in Britain has an oven unless it is for cremating dead Jews who have been gassed.

Such is the absurdity of the fake and false anti-semitism campaign that has hit the Labour Party. And in what passes for Viner’s malevolent mind a fireplace = Holocaust. Steve Bell’s cartoon becomes an anti-Semitic
trope.

Viner once helped produce a play on the murdered
International Solidarity Movement activist Rachel Corrie, bulldozed to death by
the Israeli military. Viner has since
become the Guardian’s editor and whatever principles this apology for a human
being had have long been discarded.

Yet another reason why any socialist or supporter of
human rights should boycott the alt-Right Guardian, whose ‘anti-Semitism’
campaign against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party has shown it up in its true
colours.

As I never
tire of saying, I was brought upon a Guardian which had fearless Middle East
correspondents like Michael Adams and David Hirst. Now it has as its chief censor Jonathan
Freedland and the paper is simply another part of the corporate media, using
‘anti-Semitism’ to counteract any criticism of Zionism and Israel.

Meanwhile
the Israeli army ‘investigation’ into the murder of Razan has taken its normal
course. It is an attempt to justify
their cold blooded murder of Razan. Its
agenda from the start has been to blacken the name of Razan and justify what happened. After all, given that the army employed 100 snipers to mow down unarmed protestors what else can we expect?

I know the Zionists won’t like it but asking the Israeli army to investigate itself is like asking the Nazis to conduct an investigation into the murder of Jews. It didn’t happen and it ain’t gonna happen.
That is why Netanyahu has opposed any idea of
an independent inquiry. The last time
the UN held an independent inquiry under Judge Goldstone it found Israel had
committed human rights crimes and Goldstein, despite being Jewish was accused
of, well you know, ‘anti-Semitism’.

Apparently Razan
wanted to shield the wounded and, horror of horror, she apparently threw a
smoke bomb. Well that justifies her
murder if anything does. Of course she
was murdered with her hands held up but who cares, Hamas put her up to it and
they bear the responsibility. The poor innocent sniper couldn’t possibly have
murdered her. It must have been a
ricochet or possibly he or she missed and killed her instead of someone else.

Israeli
‘investigations’ start from the premise that Israel is innocent. They are an exercise in allocating guilt to the Palestinians. And if they can’t find an excuse, as they couldn’t during Operation Protective Edge when
4 Palestinian children were murdered by an Israeli plane machine gunning them,
then it is all a ‘tragic accident’. Of course when Palestinians kill Israelis,
then it is never an accident although it is always tragic.

Israeli
murderers couldn’t get away with their foul deeds unless journalists in this
country covered for them. In many ways
it is the Kath Viners of the British press who bear as much culpability as the
person who pulled the trigger on Razan.

A top IDF general and spokesperson on Thursday said
the Palestinian medic shot dead during clashes along the Gaza border last week
was “no angel of mercy,” as the army released a video purportedly showing the
woman lobbing a smoke grenade toward Israeli forces.

In two months of mass protests at the Gaza border,
some 110 Palestinians were killed and thousands wounded by Israeli military
fire. Dozens of the fatalities were members of terror groups, Hamas and Islamic
Jihad acknowledged.

Earlier this week, the IDF said an initial

medic was not
intentionally targeted.

This appeared to indicate that Najjar was hit either
by a mis-aimed shot or a ricochet as she tended to an injured man, while
wearing a white coat clearly marking her as a medical professional.

The Palestinian Medical Relief Society and
eyewitnesses at the scene said Najjar was less than 100 meters from the border
fence, treating a man who been struck by a tear gas canister, when she was
shot.

Israel faces weekly attacks by violent protesters at
the border. Israel says its forces have opened fire to stop attempts to harm
soldiers, damage the fence, infiltrate Israel, and attempt to carry out
attacks. Israel accuses the Hamas terrorist group, with which it has fought three
wars since 2008, of seeking to use the protests as cover to carry out violence.
