the essay is nuanced and a good reminder that the present far-right israeli government does not represent all israelis or even represent all zionist jews. it is perfectly possible to support israel as a country without supporting what it is doing in gaza.
I think it's truthful and excellent. I read through it twice.
From the article:" I’m not sure how to answer that question except to say it was bound to happen eventually. "
I wrote words very much like that regarding 7 October which ended up with me being accused of being a Jew hater by a group of nasties. It was indeed a very predictable situation.
and therefore... what? kill them all? displace them?
israel hasn't done itself any favours here. it has oppressed gaza for years, frequently murdered innocent people (including using live rounds on peaceful demonstrators) and worked hard to prop up hamas. it is not surprising that so many gazans are hostile to it and those are circumstances which hamas takes advantage of.
@16.36.But the civilised world managed to smash the anti-semitic Nazi terrorists back in 1945,countrylover.Surely the civilised world can also do the same to the modern day Nazis(the Hamas terrorists)nowadays.After the Nazis were smashed in 1945 they never rose to prominence again,if we smash these Hamas terrorists now ,hopefully they will never rise to prominence again either.
because they are not to my knowledge being celebrated or endorsed by prominent people in my own country roy.
naomi - all you ever say is "it isn't it isn't it isn't". you will recall that gazans were instructed to evacuate to khan younis for their own safety - hundreds of thousands did exactly that. Israel has now surrounded that city, killed dozens of journalists to hide from the world what it is doing, and is savagely attacking a city it knows to be full of evacuees. it has attacked hospitals and provided no evidence at all that they are "hamas command centres" and has in fact been caught lying about it. you know it's genocide and i know it's genocide - the difference is that you agree with it and won't say so in writing.
