CNN Rick Sanchez Bursts Israeli PR Campaign. Progress.

CNN Rick Sanchez bursts the Israeli PR campaign (full transcripts below)

The date Israel broke the truce agreement was November 4th, when it killed

five Palestinians fighters. On November 5th, another Israeli attack

killed seven Palestinian fighters while on November 6th, yet again the

Israeli army killed a Palestinian farmer. All of the Israeli killinigs

were carried out in the Gaza Strip and on November 5th, Hamas’ military

wing declared the truce to have been broken and thus no longer is held

responsible for its articles.

Today’s Transcript:

SANCHEZ: And you know what we did? I’ve checked with some of the folks

here at our international desk, and I went to them and asked, What was he

talking about, and do we have any information on that? Which they

confirmed, two months ago — this is back in November — there was an

attack. It was an Israeli raid that took out six people.Now, let me refer you — it’s not just us. We’ve checked in other

periodicals. Johnny (ph), go over my shoulder, if you can. Here we go.

“The six-month ceasefire started coming apart at the beginning of November

after Israeli commandos killed a team of Hamas fighters during a raid on a

tunnel they suspected was being dug for kidnapping of Israeli soldiers.

That raid set off more Palestinian rocketing.” That’s “U.S. News and World

Report.”I got another one for you, I believe, here. OK, this is “The Guardian” –

questionable, but nonetheless. “A four-month ceasefire between Israel and

Palestinian militants in Gaza was in jeopardy today” — this was actually

reported when it happened — “after Israeli troops killed six gunmen in a

raid in the territory.” That’s important to report.And here we go, as well, from the Economist.com, and the point of

contention here is this one. Johnny, one more. “The last straw came in

November, when Israelis killed six gunmen it said were digging tunnels to

launch a raid onto Israel, spurring Hamas to respond with a barrage of

rockets.”So the question as to who started this — and we’ve been hearing that the

Israelis say they had to do this because, suddenly, the ceasefire had been

broken in Gaza by the Hamas and the Palestinians. Is this now a little

more in question?CLANCY: You know, that is absolutely true. But just as true is the fact

that if Israel hadn’t started shooting first in this case — and Israel

said, We had security reasons, imminent security reasons. There was no

real deal here between Hamas and Israel. Israel still reserved the right

to go in to do any attack where there was a primary security interest

there. And they said, Our soldiers were going to be kidnapped. We had to

do it.SANCHEZ: But you know, I guess what it is — Americans, we like our order.

We want things delineated for us. We like to see a quid pro quo. They’re

saying this happened. Are they right? And they’re saying this happened.

Are they right? It’s almost like we’re left — when you talk about the

Middle East, you’re left with such subtleties that sometimes everything is

a vagary.Let’s do this. I want to hold you for just a moment. Ben Wedeman has just

become available to us. He’s live in Jerusalem. He’s been following the

story today.Ben, first of all, if you would, bring us up to date on what — yesterday

during this hour, you were talking to us about a rocket attack. Have been

there more of those rocket attacks today?
