I hate politics and that's why I write about it. I write about everything I dislike. That's including women, books, travel and terrorism. stuff that no matter how hard you try to ignore it, are always there in your face. As much as I hate all the above, the one thing I hate even more is lies.
The Gaza war between Israel and the Hamas controlled Gaza had a terrible consequences to the people of both sides. Never the less Israel took most of the blame for it. Than came the Goldstone report who gave it an official UN seal and pointed out the Israel has conducted war crimes against the people of Gaza. The Israeli government tried unsuccessfully to put the blame on Hamas for shooting for years missles directd on town across the border with Gaza and on the same time, for using civilian population as a human shield.
Israel accused and explained but nobody really listened, they were too busy blaming Israel. It appeared that is was a lot more convenient to the world to put the blame on the Jewish state. Than one day (which is actually today), came up the same man who was the chairman of the infamous report called under his name and said that if he knew than what he know now about the Gaza war, his report would be different. His name was Richard Goldstone.
"Israeli evidence that has emerged since publication of our report doesn’t negate the tragic loss of civilian life, I regret that our fact-finding mission did not have such evidence explaining the circumstances in which we said civilians in Gaza were targeted, because it probably would have influenced our findings about intentionality and war crimes."
It was too little too late, the damage was done and most of you would probably never hear about it, unless you are subscribed to this fantastic blog (thanks you!) but that's how things are. Nobody really cares, unless Israel kills somebody.
Benjamin Netanyahu the Israeli prime minister in occasion or two got to the core of the problem, to why is it that the world is so quick to criticize the Jewish state and why even among countries who suffered the atrocities of extreme Islamic terrorism people are more likely to identify themselves with the enemies of Israel. Netanyahu is also discussing why Israel is compared so often to the Nazis and the pathologies of the Christian west world in their view of the modern Jewish state in light of the past.
In an interview at HBO from 2006 Bill Maher tells Netanyahu: "It's always amaze me that among all the nations in the world, the one that gets compared to the Nazis the most, in the world press is actually Israel." Watch his answer, starting minute 10:00.

ReplyDeleteYonatan Shapira, Former Captain, Israeli Airforce answered this during and interview in on BBC News in 2009:
ReplyDeleteBBC News: What is your assessment of what Israel is doing in Gaza?
Shapira: I can answer you with two words: a warcrime.

The fact is that other countries doing a lot worse atrocities and killing many more civilians but for the most part the public opinion can live with it rather easy. It seems that when it comes to Israel there are different rules to the game. Nobody, except the terrorists themselves want to be responsible for civilians casualties. 9/11 was meant to kill innocent people and so other many attacks. Israel doesn't target civilians, never the less, some get hurt.
ReplyDelete" Israel doesn't target civilians"??? You are saying that the ex-Israeli servicemen are telling lies? Your statement is at best naive and at worst outrageous.
ReplyDelete"The fact is that other countries doing a lot worse atrocities and killing many more civilians but for the most part the public opinion can live with it rather easy."
ReplyDeleteSo you concede that Israel has committed and is still committing atrocities, albeit less than other countries? And where is this "public opinion" that lives easily with the illegal victimization of innocents? I see nothing but condemnation for these murderers, no matter what nationality.
"It appeared that is was a lot more convenient to the world to put the blame on the Jewish state."
ReplyDeleteThe blame lies not with Jews per se, but with Zionist Israelis hell bent on having their own way no matter how many innocents suffer. I am sure that you, like most of the civilized world, know the difference between Jew and Zionist?
If Israelis/Zionist wouldn't have it their way, there wouldn't be any state of Israel.
ReplyDeleteTrue. And the original and rightful inhabitants of the land upon which Israel sits would now be home, safe and happy.
