Four things that are important to know about this radically dishonest article in the Guardian today regarding the Israeli family murdered in their homes by an Iranian missile two nights ago: https://www.theguardian.com/wo...
1. Every house or apartment built in Israel since 1991 has a safe room inside the unit. People do not "run to underground bunkers" because this is not the Blitz, there is not enough time, and safe rooms mean there is often no need.
2. Safe rooms save lives by protecting people from shrapnel and shock waves, but cannot protect you from a direct hit as happened in Tamra two days ago or in Petah Tikva last night.
3. 21 Israeli civilians have been killed by Iranian missile fire since the current war began, of whom 4 were Arab. That 19% ratio almost perfectly mirrors the 21% of Israel's population who are Arab.
4. The pattern of lies in this article is not new. Every major event, however improbable, from covid vaccines to police violence in the US, is subordinated to the idea that the Jewish state is uniquely evil and powerful forces conspire to silence the brave voices exposing this.
