Gazans Eating Grass

In the Times--of London of course. Brings back Holocaust images. Says my tipster: "echoes memories of my father in law from Buchenwald."

Though the brave Nick Goldberg who runs the LA Times Op-Ed page publishes this piece by Eyad El-Sarraj:

In the end, I waited three months for a medical permit to travel to treat my multiple myeloma. My requests were denied repeatedly until an Israeli friend who teaches at Tel Aviv University intervened and helped me secure a one-day permit. That there are still Israelis willing to promote the rights of Palestinians provides me with what little hope I have these days.

    congratulations to all of americas zionist jews on your great success in implementing a holocaust on an entire nation.

    americas zionist jews can not have it both ways, they cant be the worlds most caring and inclusive of peoples (according to them of course), while at the same time being the monsters of the middle east.

    damm the torpedos full speed ahead.
    are the palestinians human to your way of seeing the world?

    revenge is sweet, but only to the basest of the human traits, and you are excelling in that endeavor.

  2. Unfortunately the comments to the Colvin article at the Sunday Times site seem to go into a queue to be approved which is rather slow moving. :-)

    “Sadly, even in our own circles, the mold for shaping public opinion lies in the hands of the State of Israel. An appropriate example of this dangerous process of selectively "rewriting" history may be found in the extraordinary purging from the public record of all evidence of the culpability of the forerunners of the State in the tragedy of European Jewry, and the sub-situation in is place of factors inconsequential to the calamity which ultimately occurred. ”

    Waiting for Witty to chime in with some anecdote about how one time his local Whole Foods was out of his favorite tofu and he had to settle for a generic brand. Hey, this kind of thing happens to everyone!

    You who call yourselves progressive or moderate Zionists, who supposedly want an end to colonization and occupation and desire a final-status agreement that will allow Israel to become a normal country, by YOUR refusal to publicly condemn them, YOU are allowing extremist Zionists to hand Adolph Hitler his most enduring victory: the corrosion of two millennia of genuine culturally-visceral Jewish concern for morality. I imagine the attendees of the Wannsee conference are smiling at your inaction through the teeth barring their escape through the flaming jaws of Hell.

    Actually, Colin, the question is whether Israeli resources must be devoted to the provision of services that Gaza cannot manage for itself when the Gazan government is dedicated to a terror war against Israel. Eyad el-Serraj, head of the Gaza Community Mental Health Center is an old friend of the Israeli medical community, and he has done sterling work–although a bit stymied by his wife's return to the UK and his decision to follow her in the late 80s/early 90s, prior to his return after Oslo–in the "rehabilitation" of terrorists, i.e. the provision of mental health care and alternative career development paths.

    Some Palestinians make war, and are only restrained by their actual material incapacity to do serious damage, which is solely a reflection of the fact that seaborne shipments of weapons of war have been stopped, and tunnels so far have not sufficed for the import of real, industrial-grade rockets, while other Palestinians are dependent on Israeli electricity for their nebulizers, and others dependent on Israeli hospitals to treat their cardiac disease, their cancers, their complications of childbirth.

    The Israeli government is unwilling to open the border ex gratia, maintaining that it is no longer the occupying power, and the Hamas men with the rockets are unwilling to stop firing. How is the Palestinian decision to continue total war at any cost solely a Jewish moral problem?

    The attendees at the Wannsee Conference smile at their Arab proteges who launch rockets at, among other things, the Israeli power plant that supplies Gaza's pediatric wards.

  10. "The attendees at the Wannsee Conference smile at their Arab proteges who launch rockets at, among other things, the Israeli power plant that supplies Gaza's pediatric wards."

    This statement is such complete paranoid-psychotic gibberish that I think Eurosabra might find himself entering involuntary psychiatric care soon if he continues to cultivate his present mindset.
