Israeli Atrocities In Gaza And The Global Conspiracy Of Silence!

In the wars...current and previous...in Gaza, there is overwhelming incontrovertible evidence of wanton killing of Palestinian civilians...mostly women and children...by Israeli soldiers.

These are war crimes! Nearly 2000 Palestinians have been killed in the current Israeli onslaught as compared to less than 70 on the Israeli side! Israel justifies its bombing of civilian targets including Churches, Mosques and UN Schools! It has now bombed the only power plant and the sewage system...not minding the consequent humanitarian consequences! Its absolute blockade of Gaza deprives Gazans of every conceivable needs....including domestic items and fishing rights! It continues to covet Palestinian land in the Occupied Territories by demolishing Palestinian homes and building Israeli ones in their place!

Israel claims that its offensive on Gaza is a war on terror; in fact, it is an act of state terrorism! It claims it is merely defending itself...a fallacy encouraged by the west. It refused to accede to a Palestinian offer of negotiations...even when Hamas won a free and fair election! It said it would not negotiate with terrorists.

What is so confounding is the strange global silence on this state terrorism by Israel, as being urged on by the US and its western allies!

I repeat that Hitler knew what demons these Jews would become! Israeli leaders are no better than Hitler, are they?!!!

The fact that Israel suffered mistreatment in the past does not grant them a blank cheque to visit such war crimes on other people! Afterall, what atrocities could be worse than the purchase of humans and their ownership by other humans by way of slavery? Does that give blacks the right to maltreat all people that we are stronger than? Does it compel the world to look on so sheepishly....and so irresponsibly....if we so demonize ourselves?

If revenge is your pasttime or watchword, why don't these cowardly Jews confront the sires of "Hitlerland".....Germany....and fight someone that can at least lift up their arms in meaningful defense? And since they were also pulverized by the Ottomans, why do they not match their agression with Turkey? Not some civilian women and children in religious houses, UN Shelters or UN Schools!
