This isn't war. It isn't even murder. It's SADISM.



The above video describes the shifting rationales for racist Israeli attack on Gaza. Pay particular attention to the part about the tunnels. This isn't about weaponry: The racist Israelis want their Palestinian victims to be bereft of food and medicine.

Here's Noam Chomsky:
The latest Israeli rampage was set off by the brutal murder of three Israeli boys from a settler community in the occupied West Bank. A month before, two Palestinian boys were shot dead in the West Bank city of Ramallah. That elicited little attention, which is understandable, since it is routine.

"The institutionalized disregard for Palestinian life in the West helps explain not only why Palestinians resort to violence," Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani reports, "but also Israel's latest assault on the Gaza Strip."
This next part is very important:
The media constantly intone that Hamas is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. In reality, Hamas leaders have repeatedly made it clear that Hamas would accept a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus that has been blocked by the U.S. and Israel for 40 years.

In contrast, Israel is dedicated to the destruction of Palestine, apart from some occasional meaningless words, and is implementing that commitment.
Israeli officials laud the humanity of what it calls "the most moral army in the world," which informs residents that their homes will be bombed. The practice is "sadism, sanctimoniously disguising itself as mercy," in the words of Israeli journalist Amira Hass: "A recorded message demanding hundreds of thousands of people leave their already targeted homes, for another place, equally dangerous, 10 kilometers away."

In fact, there is no place in the prison of Gaza safe from Israeli sadism, which may even exceed the terrible crimes of Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009.
Our media -- even our "liberal" media -- continues to villify Hamas as a terrorist organization. In fact, Hamas has proven itself in every way to be morally superior to the racist Israelis, who are the true terrorists.

Consider, for example, the racist Israeli attack on a UN school in Rafah, Gaza. This is the seventh UN school attacked during this campaign. Previously, the racist Israelis claimed that the attacks were the results of Hamas fire or malfunctioning weapons -- laughable lies which no-one believes. The racist Israelis are murdering Palestinian children because the racist Israelis consider the Palestinians to be "life unworthy of life."

Why was that school bombed at this stage? There is only one explanation that makes sense. The racist Israelis, their hearts hardened as a result of a lifetime of ethnic/religious brainwashing, are engaged in a campaign of extermination. Like their Nazi mentors, the racist Israelis have fallen in love with violence, in love with death for the sake of death.

The racist Israelis know that their time to act is limited. America is their only friend in the world, and you'd think that they would be courting our favor. Yet racist Israelis can no longer make any secret of their contempt for Americans -- or at least for non-Jewish Americans. In their eyes, all non-Jews secretly long to haul out the Zyklon-B; therefore, anyone who criticizes Israeli racism can have no motive other than anti-Semitism. (If the critic is a Jew, then he or she must be that mythical creature, the Self-Hating Jew. This myth is very useful for purposes of brainwashing and propaganda.)

Can racist Israel survive without support from America? Many racist Israelis will sneeringly say: "Yes! We don't need you. We don't need anyone!"

But this attitude is a delusion. The smarter, more tactically savvy Israelis must worry when they see polls indicating that younger Americans now find Israel's behavior to be repugnant and indefensible. True, a majority of American still support Israel, but that support can -- and, I think, will -- erode rapidly. Remember: As recently as 2008, a majority of Americans disliked the idea of gay marriage.

The racist Israelis cannot help but bring about their own downfall. Arrogance has become part of their cultural DNA, just as racist arrogance was part of the Confederacy's cultural DNA. This arrogance has reached such extremes that the Times of Israel actually published an editorial justifying genocide.

The newspaper retracted the story only when they belatedly realized that the goys were watching and that the word "genocide" might be too much for even the most compliant and sheeplike Americans to tolerate. For the same reason, the writer of that editorial offered a breathtakingly insincere apology. (The same writer's tweets prove that he remains a Nazi at heart.)

As readers know, I am normally a strong advocate of peace and non-interference in the affair of other nations. But on rare occasions, a state program of mass murder demands intervention.

The civilized nations of the world should militarily invade Israel, topple that racist government, try the war criminals, and institute a single-state solution based on racial equality. Until that new state is founded, racist Israel must be stripped of its sovereignty -- and then stripped of its racism.

The next generation of Israelis must be forcibly educated. They must be required to see the full extent of the evil they have wrought -- the land theft, the ethnic cleansing, the contempt for non-Jews. They must also be made aware of the brainwashing techniques that have been used on them since infancy.

After World War II, German citizens were forced to march through the concentration camps. This was the first stage of a surprisingly lenient -- but effective -- program of de-Nazification. That precedent offers an excellent model for what should take place in Israel. When I was a boy, it was common for pet-owners to teach a dog not to soil the rug by pushing its snout into the soiled area and offering a gentle swat on the behind. In a sense, that's what we did to the Germans. I see no other way to cure a entire culture diseased with racism, arrogance, supremacism, and sense of entitlement.

The video below, featuring a 2010 talk by Chris Hedges, is nothing less than required viewing.

It's obviously a mistake for the "holy land" to be in the sole control of a racist ethnicity. It's the most unique piece of real estate on the planet and should be managed by all of us as a whole, or else. It's the else part that never ends. It may take a catastrophe for humanity to realize this.

I think there's little doubt that what we've witnessed is ethnic cleansing wrapped up as a necessary outcome because . . . terrorism. Of course, the label of 'terrorist' is in the eye of the beholder.

But can anyone argue that the videos and still shots of dead children and women, of an infrastructure reduced to dust [back to the Stone Age according to some reports] is anything but mindless rage, an example of a country out of control, a 21st century colonial power acting out the worst of what we know as colonialism?

Israel has become bitter and cruel. That Op-Ed is a perfect example of the psychosis that has infected Israel's right-wing, a mindset so persuasive, so based on fear-mongering that anything and everything is considered acceptable, even the loss of your own humanity. We saw it and continue to see it in our own right-wing where the children on our southern border--the others--are reduced to sub-human status, where rage-fueled militiamen feel perfectly justified to 'protect the border' with any means necessary, even if it means shooting those children requesting asylum.

Israel is a mirror for the current ugliness, an example of what and where hate-filled rhetoric and actions lead. The fact that the US Government has refused to take a firm moral stand regarding Gaza is a clear indication of how far adrift we truly are. We can't say we're appalled by the latest Israeli destructive action, and then send a $225 million package to Israel to replace her arsenal.

War is not Peace. And killing children is not fighting terrorism. It's a recipe for another generation of rage and vengeance.

You'd think the world would have learned that by now.

Apparently not!

First off, Hamas has NEVER said they would recognize Israel as seen in countless interviews with Hamas spokespeople lately with Charlie Rose and others. If you don't believe me, I am sure there are videos on the internet of these statements. They want the destruction of Israel and want no part of the peace process. Where in the hell did Noam Chomksy invent that false statement? I am sick and tired of hearing about the "poor Palestinians." Why does no one bring up the fact that Hamas has broken every single cease fire? Why is Hamas not vilified for intentionally trying to kill civilians? Why does no one bring up the fact the Israelis have had three peace plans thrown back in their face by the Palestinians over the last few decades, even though they got 90% of what they wanted? Hamas wants Israel dead. There is no peace when that occurs and yes, innocent people have to die in such a fashion. This is not a racist war which this site and others are taking the word of Hamas sympathizers over anyone else because it feeds their world view, even if it is wrong. I do not subscribe to such tactics and look at both sides of the story before coming to a conclusion. Is Israel right in all of this? Hell no. But neither is Hamas and to take their side, a bunch of terrorists who would just as soon kill us all here in the US, seems ridiculous. This above article is, I am afraid to say, anti-sematic, even if you don't see it that way. You are condemning Israel over lies spread by a group that has a definitive reason to do just that. Stop believing everything you read just because it fits your definition of what is going on, at least according to your sources. That is called Fox News. Stop this barrage against Israel and realize that war is hell, innocent people die, and Israel is fighting for it's survival. Hamas is not innocent in any of this.

Talk to the hand, Captain Hasbara.

Talk. To. The. Hand.

Seems to me like no one here cares about the survival of a fascist, racist, colonial, genocidal regime.
Let's try a different game.
Where should all the Jews in Isreal go when the world finally wakes up?
I mean Europe or north America or south America?
How about India?
India has multiple languages, religions, ethnicities.

Collective punishment is a war crime, plain and simple. Sure, Hamas is guilty of this crime, but not on anywhere near the scale of Israel (which doesn't absolve them, of course). Israel takes every opportunity to break ceasefires and blame it on Hamas. If you believe the "unnamed Israeli officials" you are just as naive as people who believe the pronouncements of "unnamed US government officials". The aggressor here is Israel, and always has been.
