Israel government could have paid $15 million dollars and plastered this 2013 quote on every media platform for 2 years. But they don't believe in fixing Islam with poetry wars, but bomb rocket iron dome wars. $50 million would cover 4 years.

“If Christians, Hindus or Jews are really our enemies, as so many say, why are we Muslims fighting with each other?”

It's clear – Israel now has a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza

A #Holocaust is occurring to the people of #Palestine in #Gaza that has been designed, planned and implemented by the descendants of the same people who were the victims of another Holocaust.

The Government of #Australia should treat #Israel like it treats #Russia and impose an equal level of sanctions immediately.

Any assets of the nation of Israel should be seized and used to help the Palestinians. *All* trade with Israel should be instantly stopped. The borders of Australia should be closed to Israelis.

These actions should be only a starting point.

johnmenadue.comIt's clear – Israel now has a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from GazaAdolf Eichmann began his Nazi career as the head of the Central Agency for Jewish Emigration at the security agency charged with protecting the Reich. Joseph Brunner, the father of Mossad chief David Barnea, was three years old when he fled Nazi Germany with his parents, before the evacuation plan was implemented.

I've been reluctant to post about what's happening in Gaza, not thinking I had much to contribute to what was already being said and shared.

But I found this to be a thoughtful opinion piece and worthy enough of attention that I wanted to share.

Here's the author's conclusion, but there's much more to the piece than just this:

"My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one."

He notes that genocide scholars & holocaust scholars tend to see this differently.
