Jews, historically, have been persecuted ruthlessly, as have many peoples throughout history for the crime of being different. Currently, it is the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank that are being brutally oppressed and massacred. At least 25,000 dead and twice as many wounded, most women and children. imagine the burned, maimed, and disfigured without recourse to medical aid, amputations and C-sections without anesthesia. This cruelty is intentional, as all the hospitals are destroyed, houses leveled, schools and universities now rubble.
The goal of eliminating Hamas is a crude and transparent canard. Israel is not interested in only eliminating Hamas, but also in the elimination of every Palestinian.
My point is that brutal cruelty is a potential human behavior and anyone can devolve into that brutality. It is ironic that a group who have suffered so much of the same have resorted to inflicting such inhumane torture on another group who are descendants of biblical Jews. Water has been cut off now to Gaza for 100+ days! Who does that? What kind of people withhold food and water as a weapon? Why are the press targeted? More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in all of WWII. Doctors are targeted. Even Germany in WWI did not target hospitals.
And the residents of the West Bank are not spared. Children are killed by snipers for the crime of picking up a rock. And Israel holds 5000 hostages, some as young as 15 yo, without charges, without review, some of them tortured.
Somehow it is expedient for our government and the governments of the EU to support this new holocaust, while people around the world; while Jews around the world and even Israelis protest non-stop. I have no adequate words for the depth of this tragic depravity.
