Norwegian Doctors Return from Gaza to Attack their Critics
Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse have ended their humanitarian mission in Gaza at the height of a reported medical crisis there to return to Norway. They have not, however, ended their anti-Israel propaganda campaign.
In a televised press conference available on Norway’s Channel 2 Web site, they urge their critics to “bring it on!”
Come on–bring it on, bring it on! We have nothing to hide, reality is bad enough. Bring it on! This is a huge smear campaign and I can tell you we expect more. We expect more from the Israeli people.
Gilbert accuses Israel of a long, meticulously planned campaign to hide what is happening in Gaza, then congratulates himself for “breaking that plan.”
That is the most dangerous thing for us. That we broke that plan.
He suggests that white people have more credibility among Americans than those with darker skin, as he accuses Israel of blocking Fosse’s telephone interview with Larry King:
What was that? Well that was a possibility for some white person in Gaza City inside a hospital to talk to the American public.
Eric Fosse adds:
The deliberate efforts to distort information does not come from us. It comes from people with a lot of resources to do it and believe me they do whatever they can to make it up and they inhibit all of you to do your work and they try of course to inhibit us to tell the truth. ..They use every means to stop witnesses, to stop objective information.
Fosse, referring to a UN driver who was shot last Thursday at the Erez crossing, proclaims that the Israelis have shot at UN humanitarian workers and stopped them by force. Of course, the IDF denies having fired on the UN truck and is investigating reports that it was Hamas gunmen who shot at the truck. Fosse makes no mention of this. Nor does he mention the fact that the wounded Palestinians on this truck were evacuated and treated in Ashkelon which itself is the target of Hamas rockets.
Who are the ones deliberately distorting information?
