On Newsnight last night, Jeremy Paxman began the third segment with the clear intent to show the poor plight of Gazans. The link to the programme available for the next 6 days is here and the related segment starts at 30 minutes into the programme.
Clearly in a voice intended to make the viewer feel pity and shame for the ‘poor Palestinian’
“… Human needs, emotional as much as material. Nowhere on earth perhaps matches Gaza, the sliver of land on the Mediterranean coast left to the Palestinians when Israel was created. Nowhere matches it for density of despair. The Palestinians have now achieved a degree of recognition by the UN, much to Israel’s fury, and Gazans have just emerged from a very one-sided conflict with their neighbour”
So his spin is that because of Israel’s fury with the Palestinian recognition by the UN, they took out on the poor ‘sliver of land’ Palestinians. No explanation why the supposed ‘fury’ by Israel, or attempt to give a clearer and real picture of events. He clearly feels his narrative is worth the distortion and deceit.
Perhaps he should try being a Christian in any of the 'Arab Spring' nations to understand what might be despair.
Merry Christmas.
