vildechaye You are absolutely right. Of course the German radio tries to downplay the scandal:

Since they can’t admit their ideological prejudices they must plead incompetence.

As i noted earlier, it is one thing for the interviewee to misspeak or make a freudian slip, but quite another for the interviewer, a trained journalist, not to notice that a number has been inflated x 1000. Speaking as a journalist myself, i would say it well nigh near impossible. So either she has a weird political agenda or she didn’t get her current job for her journalistic skills.

Steve Brown get the facts right. The Israeli Prof. Dr. Zuckermann is teaching German History and speaks perfectly well German. The Journalist is a German.
So please do not try to deflect attention from subject matter.
Fact is also that the transcript was only corrected 8 hours after publication.
There are plenty of other articles where you can post your opinion about the conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Stick to subject matter.

“So she mixes up 400 and 400000? “

I think this is a very interesting and significant Freudian slip when seen in the context of people shreiking “holocaust” with regards to Gaza.

This tiny insignificant non-story just about sums up HP. As civilians are liquidated and cut to pieces by Israeli invaders, HP picks up on a verbal slip. Anything to divert people from uncomfortable realities and avoid facing up to the truth that HP is supporting a violent unbalanced and aggressive war machine. The woman is an Israeli right? So she doesn’t speak native German right. Numbers are the hardest part of a lingo to comprehend and get right. So she mixes up 400 and 400000? Wow. Nobody thinks she tried to lie. Why would she when the reality is so bleakly and brutaly appalling?
You are desperate. And you are losing.

In the USA they GET IT!

Fox maybe. On NPR the Gaza corespondent was so angry at Israel that he referred to Israel as “the Jewish State” instead of as Israel. Guess he hates them damn Jews.

You know, Hamas can’t control Islamic Jihad, just like Israel can’t control its settlers.

Hamas is the government in Gaza and takes ALL corporate resonsibility for all military action on its soil. Stating that Hamas has broken the ceasefire is a true statement.

If a Pakistani family origin terrorist goes to Israel to suicide bomb Israelis we don’t call them a Pakistani we call them a Brit. Yet, you can say that the British govt had no desire to suicide bomb people in Israel.

If you want to express it as Palest9inians and Israelis then you can say that The Palestinians broke the ceasefire, can’t you?

You lose!

No Hypo, you put things into my mouth I did not say. They will not be received with flowers. Mind you some inhabitants of Jersey, good British people received the German army with flowers.
But as a matter of fact, if an opinion research would be conducted today, Gaza people would not elect Hamas. This is also the reason Hamas is against elections.
Naji Shurab, political scientist at the al-Azhar university in Gaza declared (Die Presse, 3.1.09) that many people, not only those who side with Fatah find, that Hamas is co responsible for what is happening.

Since English is not my native tongue, probably I did not express myself clearly.

Could you tell us where did I express self-pity?

“And now they fire those rockets on Israel. So what is their achievement? They achieved abject misery for their own people.”

Quite right. I predict when the IDF enter Gaza they will be greated with tearful crowds delighted by their liberation throwing flowers at them and hugging them. Much as we see in the newsreels of your country Germany invading lands in the the 1940s
