Righteous Condemnation of Israeli Mass Murder
Israel is a rogue terror state.
by Stephen Lendman
Media scoundrels feature pro-Israeli supporters. Doing so makes them complicit with Israeli crimes.
Charles Krauthammer is one of the worst. He's an embarrassment to legitimate journalism. His latest Washington Post op-ed headlines "Why was there war in Gaza?"
His commentary shows appalling ignorance, support for Israeli lawlessness, racist hate, and contempt for besieged Gazans.
"Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian entity," he claimed."After all, the world had incessantly demanded that Israel give up land for peace."
"It gave the land. It got no peace."
In 2005, Israel disengaged from Gaza. It did so to get Jews out of harm's way. Palestinian West Bank land was stolen to accommodate them. War was planned with no timeline. Cast Lead followed. Now Operation Pillar of Cloud. More coming. Stay tuned.
Occupation of Gaza doesn't exist, claims Krauthhammer. Explain it to 1.7 million oppressed Palestinians. They're isolated in the world's largest open-air concentration camp. Its harshness replicates Nazi-enforced Warsaw ghetto conditions.
Humanitarian crisis conditions persist. Borders are closed. No one gets in or out without hard to get permit permission. Israel bombs, invades, and commits other atrocities at will. It maintains total control. Palestinians have no say whatever.
"Israel has once again succeeded in defending itself," claims Krauthhammer. Irresponsibly he called months-ago planned naked aggression self-defense.
Rabbi Avichai Ronsky calls himself a man of God. He's also a former chief Israeli military rabbi. He's more concerned about militarism than Judaic doctrine. His comments show it.
Ending conflict was "a great mistake and a disappointment," he said. Killing and injuring Palestinians should have continued.
