Salon magazine says Israel committing war crimes in latest round of fighting.

[T. A. Gardner]

Salon magazine just published this piece on the fighting between Hamas and Israel:

Israel's big lie: This isn't self defense — it's a war crime, aided and abetted by the U.S.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...?ocid=msedgdhp

The last paragraph of the article, the body of which is mostly a recitation of history mixed with some cherry picking, is telling of the whole:

There are many parallels between the deformities that grip Israel and the deformities that grip the United States. The two countries are moving at warp speed towards a 21st-century fascism, cloaked in religious language, which will revoke what remains of our civil liberties and snuff out our anemic democracies. The failure of the United States to stand up for the rule of law, to demand that the Palestinians, powerless and friendless, even in the Arab world, be granted basic human rights mirrors the abandonment of the vulnerable within our own society. We are headed, I fear, down the road Israel is heading down. It will be devastating for the Palestinians. It will be devastating for us. And all resistance, as the Palestinians courageously show us, will only come from the street.

The sentence I highlighted is the most declarative of the piece. Breaking this down one should ask, Why are the "...Palestinians powerless and friendless, even in the Arab world?"

The answer is, from history, because the Palestinians are a bunch of warmongering thugs and criminals who can't even get their act together enough to stop internal warfare between what amounts to street gangs. Jordan threw them out of that country because they tried to stage a revolution and overthrow the government.

Egypt got tired of their constant criminal terrorist behavior in their country and closed their border with Gaza as a result.

Syria kicked them out for similar reasons.

The roughly half million Palestinian refugees in Lebanon also played a leading role in destabilizing that country.

Yet, it is somehow Israel's fault and a war crime that their vastly superior military stomps on Hamas after Hamas launches hundreds, well over a thousand, rockets at Israel from Gaza and now from allied groups in Lebanon. Hamas wanted a war. They got a war. Indiscriminate rocket fire intended to kill anyone in Israel is usually considered a war crime. Using civilians as human shields is too. That's what Hamas practices here.
That Israel responds to that with military force is just too freakin' bad for the Palestinians. They should learn to pick their enemies better along with stop being street gangs. Maybe if they tried to improve their own lot rather than tear down someone else's they wouldn't be universally reviled in the Middle East like they are.

The lesson for the US should be that radical Leftist groups like Antifa and BLM are doing the same sort of shit here to society and are no better liked for it. Sure, the radical Left embraces their thuggery but the rest of society at some point will become irked enough to stomp the lot of them into the ground.

MORE LYING ANTI-SEMITISM FROM THA ALWAYS RACIST LEFT...WHO IGNORE THE FACT THAT IS WAS THE COCKROACHES OF GAZA WHO STARTED FIRING MISSILES INTO ISRAEL....NOT VICE VERSA...

[moon]

All over the world people are rejecting lies and prosemitic spiel such as this, marching in the streets for Palestine and threatening their politicians with ejection if they don't stop swapping morals for shekels.
The winds are changing. The Izraeli fascists have overplayed their hand. The sympathy for them has gone. Now it's the Palestinians who have the sympathy of a world sick of fascist Jews and their gutless American and British support.
It has been coming for some time.

Israel is an illegal apartheid state.

.............and it isn't just Salon magazine that's started printing the facts. The big Neo-Zionist lie is being challenged everywhere.

Israel is an illegal apartheid state.

Yes- if the Izraelis refuse to recognize Palestine then there is no requirement to recognize Izrael.

You're really on a Jew-hating role this week, Moon.

I can't even call it antisemitism as I believe that the Palestinians are Semites too.

I imagine that you cannot even share the background source of your rage as it would probably
reveal more personal information than you care to divulge. I get that.

Right now, my friend, you're approaching spamming levels and that might take the edge off your effectiveness.

I understand your anger with the Israelis, however.
I just can't understand your empathy for the Palestinians.

[BidenPresident]

I just can't understand your empathy for the Palestinians.

Why, are Palestinians less than human beings?!

[moon]

You're really on a Jew-hating role this week, Moon.

You're evidently dummer than you think. ' Neo-Zionism' does not equate to 'Judaism' anymore than 'Jew' equates to ' Izraeli fascist '

I can see that you're floundering now- so best quit the attention-seeking in a topic that you've confessed not to understand and fuck off quietly.
Call me a Jew-hater again and you go on my banned list- for starters.

You're clearly not the only one that objects to criticism of Izraeli criminality, niftynick.

That's yesterday's mantra. The winds are shifting.
