Israel ‘wants rapid Gaza pullout’ and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said he wants Israeli troops to leave Gaza “as quickly as possible”. So are we really to believe that Israel has permanently turned back from its genocidal onslaught against Palestinians after its own Jewish version of Kristallnacht?
Or is this just the lull in the nastiness as Barack Obama continues to carry on the ‘Global War’ to advance the American Corporate Empire forward against all rivals, while the US population watches on like passive cattle? Why is our society seemingly so ready to turn the entire world into a Hell Hole for its own corporate master class?
Characterizing Israeli’s military operation in Gaza as genocidal is a libel. Your post is long on emotion and hyperbole and short on facts. Israel did not intentionally targeted Palestinian civilians as Hamas has intentionally targeted Israeli citizens with the constant stream of rockets. When non-militant Palestinians are killed, Israel often issues apologies. I seem to have missed the Hamas apologies for killing innocent Israelis. If Israel truly wanted genocide in Israel, the IDF would need five minutes, not three weeks and they would not call Palestinians in their homes and drop leaflets to alert Palestinians ahead of time about their incursions. The real genocide against the Palestinians is being committed by Hamas, whose belligerence toward Israel and inability or lack of desire to build a civilized state has resulted in Palestinians’ misery.
Incidentally, my friends and family in Gaza and Egypt inform me that, behind the scenes, Fatah and Egypt do not want a ceasefire and, in fact, want Israel to continue their military offensive in order to achieve a decisive defeat of Hamas. Fatah has even supplied the IDF with a list of seniior Hamas leaders they want Israel to hunt down.
This man is pure Israeli military apologist and he is now quite direct in asserting that he is not an Arab American as originally stated by himself but merely an Israeli military mouthpiece.
When somebody lies to you about their identity like this stooge has done it makes everything he says totally suspect. Nothing is more suspect than his bold assertion that Israel is not targeting civilians when in fact all evidence shows to the contrary, and even the UN is now claiming just that…. that Israel is directly targeting even UN compounds full of civilian refugees.
Ah, yes, the UN, the bastion of one-sided anti-Israeli sentiment. I believe everything coming from the UN! You select your sources very carefully to coincide with your own anti-Semitic, er, anti-Zionist viewpoint.
