More than seven days have passed since the Hamas terrorist group carried out a surprise attack by land and air on Israeli territory. A decision that has caused an unprecedented international conflict, in which thousands of innocent people have been trapped in the middle of a battle between both territories and many others have lost their lives. Since then, the rest of the world has been constantly alert about this situation, which unfortunately is far from over.
Currently, more than half of the citizens of the Gaza Strip have had to leave their homes for fear of an Israeli attack and many of them are trying to flee through the Rafah border crossing. But the humanitarian corridor enabled is not working and hundreds of people remain crowded waiting to cross the border and set foot on Egyptian soil.
International concern is maximum and that is why the conflict has become one of the main topics in all the media. Many professionals in the sector have wanted to give their opinion on the conflict publicly. One of the last to do so was Iker Jiménez. The Cuatro presenter presented last Friday on Telecinco a special of the Horizonte program focused on the war between Israel and Palestine.
But this past Sunday, the presenter wanted to give his most sincere opinion about the war on his weekly program, Cuarto Milenio. ''What I have seen is unspeakable and we knew that there are things that were not told. What is the difference from other wars and bloody terrorist actions? That there were no social networks,' he began by saying.
''Every shooting generates a source of information. There is an innate inertia to journalism. Large structures cannot compete with the immediacy of a mobile phone in your hand, although the horror is incomparable. What happens at that concert is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced in my life,' he said. ''Today, networks not only give us information, but they also give us information about ourselves. I have rarely seen what I have seen here. The black birds looked like they were part of the props,' he declared.
''There were people who guessed, put hot cloths and that is tremendous. When the girl with the broken legs, she is a Jew and not a girl, we entered into tremendous circumstances. The same can be said when, the child whose hands are broken by soldiers, he is a Palestinian and not a child, we enter into tremendous circumstances... (...). There is a tendency to see who is the victim and who is the executioner, is it one of mine or is it one of the others? And it overwhelms me the same,'' the presenter asserted.
