NYT Blames Israel for Deaths of Two Lion Cubs
Leo Rennert

Add one more naqba, catastrophe, to Palestinian victimhood, courtesy of the New York Times. And one more opportunity to bash Israel.

In its Nov. 22 edition, the Times runs a two-column headline that reads: "2 Lions, Their Birth Hailed by Gaza, Die Within Days."

According to correspondent Fares Akram reporting from the Gaza Strip, the birth of two lion cubs at a Gaza zoo was hailed by Hamas rulers as "a triumph over the proverbial hardship of life in this Palestinian coastal enclave." The cubs became "symbols of resistance." One was named Fair, Arabic for dawn, a "reference to the long-range rockets that Hamas has fired into Israel." The other cub, Sijil, which means stones of clay, bears Hamas' label for "the cross-border conflict with Israel." (euphemisms in Times parlance for Hamas terror attacks on Israeli civilian targets). To Hamas, the baby lions were a "symbol of beauty, power and strength," Akram writes.

But alas, it was not to be. Although they were born healthy, the cubs died within days. One possibility, readers are told, is that their mother refused to feed them. Another possibility was the November chill. But this being a story based on congruent values and agendas of Hamas and the Times, the finger of blame quickly points to Israel.

"On Tuesday," Akram reports, "an Israeli warplane dropped three bombs on an Islamic Jihad training base in northern Gaza, not far from the zoo, causing the lioness to panic and step on her offspring." The IDF itself seems to buttress this conclusion -- "The Israeli military said it had struck several sites in Gaza in retaliation for rocket fire aimed at soldiers near the border earlier that day."

The IDF's vaunted intelligence evidently failed in this instance. By rights, Israel should have desisted from counter-terrorism operations lest they might disturb the cubs' mother.

In the pages of the New York Times, it turns out, Israeli lives count for less than the fate of two cuddly baby lions.

Dude, I aint Jason Blair, I am a over 20 year member of the NRA, have owned guns for over 30 years, work at Knob Creek Gun Range, home of the biggest machine gun shoot in the USA.  I have tried googling some of this info, and the funny thing is the only media I seem to be able to find that mentions the GHW Bush ban is all liberal.  I keep thinking about the book 1984 where they would erase all the info they didn't want to sheeple to know.  And people would become to believe it.  Anyway if you have any old American Rifleman from the period 89 to 90, it is mentioned in those tomes several times.  I found this link:
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/02/06/what-right-wing-media-wont-tell-you-about-assau/192553 With this quote:
1989: President George H.W. Bush uses executive action to ban the importation of foreign-made semi-automatic assault weapons, directing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to only allow the importation of firearms "generally recognized as particularly suitable for, or readily adaptable to sporting purposes."
Yep, it is a liberal website. 
Here is another:
http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/three-simple-steps-obama-can-take-on-gun-control-20120726
With this quote:
Allow law-enforcement agencies to confiscate more assault weapons like the AR-15 rifle used in the Aurora shootings by reinstituting a tighter definition of “sporting purposes” when inspecting assault weapons for import. President George H.W. Bush did this in 1989 to ban the import of assault weapons, using powers under the Gun Control Act of 1968, which stipulated that legal rifles had to be “suitable for sporting purposes.” Bush acted after a serial criminal killed five schoolchildren and wounded 29 others with an AK-47 assault rifle on Jan. 27, 1989, in Stockton, Calif.

President Clinton expanded that action with a second executive order in 1998 banning firearm imports and ammunition from China. The elder Bush watched his son, President George W. Bush, preside over the persistent watering down of the “sporting purposes” filter to block assault-weapons imports—a policy Obama has perpetuated. Fifty-three members of Congress wrote Obama on Feb. 12, 2009, urging him to tighten the ban on assault-weapon imports. Obama has ignored such requests.
Once again, an apparently liberal website. 
Apparently, the only ones who want to remember that GHW Bush stabbed us all in the back are liberals.  I voted for the bastard the first go round, but I voted for Perot the 2nd, and am still proud I did.  The only time I didn't vote Republican, and it was precisely because of what he did to us gun owners.

Gunman, Ive been following gun laws since the GCA 68.
It could very well be that this is nothing but liberal bullsh!t.
One point is that the "Clinton AWB" was not an "expansion" of anything, it was a law passed by congress, and the decision to ban Chinese Norinco products was due to their shipping Scud missile parts to North Korea.
If you don't believe liberals are liars research what they SAY about Joe McCarthy then look at the actual transcripts of the hearings.

Tom, believe what you wish brother.  I don't know how old you are, but I was there.  It was on the news, it was in the American Rifleman, it is why I joined the NRA to begin with.  GHW Bush did it.  Believe it or not.  I really don't care.  There is Republican cool aid same as Democrat cool aid.
