ATLANTA, Georgia, Jun 26 (IPS) – Many genocides have occurred all through historical past, however the first time a sickening horror was proven to the world on tv was the Israeli genocide of civilians in Gaza.
Fact is the primary casualty of battle, so it’s no shock that Israel’s crafty propaganda machine has succeeded in making Israel’s bloodbath of 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza, together with greater than 15,000 youngsters, acceptable to so many Individuals.
Apart from widespread campus protesters, most Individuals now consider that Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are fanatical Islamists who ought to be killed like vermin. That is not only a lie – it is a rattling lie.
There are extra insufferable atrocities on this battle than the killing of kids, if that’s attainable – that’s when the reality is killed. It is maddening when your goodness is labeled as evil.
At the moment, the decency and ethical outrage of hundreds of thousands of younger Individuals are being vilified by ranting propagandists like MS-NBC’s Joe Scarborough, and naturally your entire Fox Information workers, will Campus protest motion labeled anti-Semitic. This assertion is fake and should be uncovered as one more abhorrent lie.
To say that anti-Zionism equals anti-Semitism shouldn’t be solely illogical but additionally silly. The overwhelming majority of campus protesters should not anti-Semitic and may simply distinguish the actions of utmost Zionist ideology in Gaza from their classmates and associates who occur to be Jewish.
Confucius mentioned: “The identify of a factor is the correctness of the factor.” Anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism. Zionism is Zionism. The 2 should not the identical. In any other case, how may Senator Bernie Sanders, who’s Jewish, assault Netanyahu’s ultra-Zionist authorities so fiercely, and the way may the coed demonstrators in opposition to the Zionist Israel-Gaza motion be What concerning the Jews?
Not too long ago, when Jewish Republican Rep. Elise Stefanich went on CNN to assault outstanding progressive Jewish philanthropist George Soros for supporting protesters, wasn’t she herself an anti-Semite?
Neither George W. Bush nor Joe Biden are Jewish. They have been Christians, however definitely big-name Zionists. Whereas Bush led the USA into the quagmire of the Iraq battle, which was primarily designed to guard Israel, Biden gave Israel all the cash and bombs it wanted to kill hundreds of civilians in Gaza.
“Do not kill youngsters, however here is the cash and ammunition to do it.” Nobody is fooled by this, not to mention school college students who’re required to exhibit important considering abilities earlier than coming into school.
A rising variety of Jewish organizations refuse to just accept Israel’s descent into dogmatic anti-Arab racial insurance policies that echo the intense philosophy of Nazism. They know that racial hatred is racism, however dogmatic racial superiority and inferiority is racism, and that is worse.
The scenario in Gaza is insupportable to the civilized world. It’s insufferable to color a complete era of idealistic American school youth with racist slurs. If there’s something worse than genocide, it is claiming that those that oppose it are the reason for a higher evil.
