Haaretz and the New York Times are peddling fantasies about how genocidal incitement in Israel is only coming from an extremist fringe. But evidence shows there is near universal support across Israeli society for the genocide in Gaza.
Yair Golan revitalized his floundering political career when he started making genocidal statements and telling the people of Gaza, “you can die from starvation, it’s totally legitimate.”
I used to think that Yeshayahu Leibowitz’s term “Judeo-Nazis” was too strong to describe Israel. But today, I feel differently.
Why has Israel overwhelmingly targeted Palestinian civilians in its attack on Gaza? Israeli leaders have told us repeatedly collective punishment is Israel’s official policy, the current attack has just taken it to the next level.
In an Op-Ed titled “Let’s Not be Intimidated by the World,” Israeli ret. Major General Giora Eiland argues that all Palestinians in Gaza are legitimate targets and that even a “severe epidemic” in Gaza will “bring victory closer.”
Eitay Mack’s Haaretz article “Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza” ignores the genocidal clarity of Israeli leaders and serves as a cherry-picked broadside against the fashionable bogeyman of “the global left.”
Dozens of Israeli doctors told the Israeli army that it must bomb Gaza’s hospitals, stating that “the residents of Gaza” have “brought their annihilation upon themselves” for allowing hospitals to become “terrorist nests.”
A group of influential Israeli rabbis wrote a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu affirming Israel’s right under Jewish law to bomb Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.
An Israeli think tank with ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a report on October 17 promoting the “unique and rare opportunity” for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”
On Monday, as the number of children killed in Gaza approached 1,000, Knesset member Meirav Ben-Ari declared “the children of Gaza have brought this upon themselves.” Such calls by Israeli politicians for collective punishment are not uncommon.
