The struggle over Palestine, which has killed innocents unjustly for my entire, long life, has always seemed to ebb and flow with the rise and fall of political factions within Israel.
The harsh Israeli statements that you reference seem geared to appease hard-line factions within Israel.
The drive to remain in power triumphs reason often, and sometimes, even morality.
I sometimes wonder what alternate reality would govern the Middle East if the Iranian Green Movement in 2009 would have succeeded.
Israel also has a lot of exculpatory evidence, like evacuation warnings and ongoing humanitarian aid exceptions to the general blockade. Plus there's the fact that Hamas hasn't left Israel much in the way of alternate options for how to prosecute the war.
Throughout the history of humanity, ever since the first humans emerged, there has never been a situation where two armies are fighting and one army provides food and fuel to the enemy army that is killing its children and raping its women. Such sick humanistic behavior can only be found among Jews. Therefore, accusations of genocide are absurd and ridiculous, but it is true that Israel behaves insanely and sickly, but from the opposite perspective of yours.
The fact is that Israel (I mean the government, society and individuals) never intended to commit genocide. There were calls from individual politicians (without approval or any action), apolitical and simply marginal individuals to destroy the enemies as they see them.
If you lived in Israel, you could not imagine that this could happen. Israel is more democratic than many European countries, and any signs of genocide will be condemned by at least 80% of the population, among whom there are many left-wing supporters of peace on any, even suicidal, terms, Arabs, supporters of the peaceful existence of all peoples and simply people with critical thinking. There may be another 18% of pragmatists who will not shout loudly against genocide, but understand that it harms the state.
Therefore, the “case” against Israel is fabricated using phrases and slogans taken from texts that are presented as intentions. Not a single order, not a single action aimed at genocide.
And the fact that Israel’s opponents have long called “genocidal” actions to ensure the safety of its citizens is not new.
I think it is not news that some other country in the same situation would behave much harsher than Israel.
Very analytical which I appreciate
Thank you, Murtaza.
