This is linked to by a commenter over at Augean Stables in the thread Paul Martin dropped into, from his own (the commenter’s) blog:

ENGLISH VERSION:

Children die!

and Hamas hides its activities in civilian houses and schools, where children are numerous. The Israeli Army has found a map, which shows us just that. But the Icelandic media doesn‘t tell us about such findings. Icelanders obviously do not need to know such things. Most of them believe Hamas rather than the Israelis. Just like many Icelanders were fascinated by Hitler and hated Jews before WWII. Little has changed.

Have at look at the CNN coverage of the death of the 14 year old brother of a Gaza cameraman on 7 January 2009, in which a professor of anaesthesiology at the University of Troms in North Norway, Mads Gilbert, declares the boy dead. Look at he boys wounds, and please note that the CNN reporter, Michael Holmes, says that the boy and his cousin were killed by an Israeli drone during the truce, which that day was between 1 and 4 PM. The boy was hit by the drone, brought to the hospital, died there, brought to a last farewell in his home and buried in the afternoon, all in the same day, i.e. between 1 and 4 PM on 7 January. Sunset on Gaza this day was around 16.30 PM. Was all that possible in three hours?

Then, please listen to an interview with Mads Gilbert on the Icelandic news program Kastljs (Spotlight) on the evening of 7 January 2009, and listen to him describe (in Norwegian) the wounds of two 14 year old boys, who arrived to his hospital during the truce the same day. Do you see head wounds on the boy in the CNN feature?

Vibt 11. janar/Addition 11 January : This is what Mads Gilbert told an Icelndic reporter about the 14 year old boys on 7 January 2009:

Reporter: “How was it like during the truce?”

Gilbert: “Yes, there was a three hour truce today and there was sunshine and we all hurried out. It was wonderful to be free to hear the bombs but we heard some bombs though. But there were much fewer bombs. We received two patients then, “aargh” or more, they [the Israeli] didn’t actually respect the truce. One of the boys, a 14 years old, lost both eyes and had his entire face crushed. We do not know whether he will survive. He has been operated. The other boy got bomb shrapnel through the scull and the brain and is operated and is in a respirator, they are both in a respirator.”
