Work in progress

This is a page that I'm writing to try to put down my thoughts on the conflict between the State of Israel and its neighbours. I may never finish.

I hate Israel!

A year ago today Hamas staged an attack on Israeli citizens, killing 1193 of them and taking about another 250 hostage. An estimated 100 hostages remain under their control.

A barbaric act, one that demands a firm response. But the act pales by comparison with the Israeli response. They have reduced the Gaza Strip to rubble and killed round 42,000 mainly innocent people, round 2% of the total population. Israel's response sickens me. I have sleepless nights (well, a couple of hours) as a result, and I'm not even directly involved. With shock I discover that I feel a certain satisfaction when the Israel Defense Forces suffer a setback, though rational logic tells me that that is unjustified.

How do I describe my pain? I have started a couple of times, but there are so many facets, so I'll describe them one by one as time goes on. I'll collect the text, hopefully improved, here.

First: impunity. Israel as a country can do whatever it wants, in defiance of international law and agreements. Why? They've been doing it for nearly 100 years, since long before the foundation of the State of Israel. Even when they founded the state, they took over areas that had not been assigned to them, and the head of state, David ben Gurion, was probably an unconvicted murderer. And any criticism is labelled antisemitism, even when they murder other Semitic people such as the population of Gaza.

How did they get away with it? Clearly the massacres of the Hitler régime made people much more sympathetic towards the Jewish people. But that only went so far: the United Kingdom had had enough of their behaviour, and they only continued to get away with things because of the help of the USA.

This has to stop. If Israel has to bombard Gaza Strip, they should ensure the safety of the population, not boast of their atrocities online. The USA must stop supplying Israel with weapons for pursuit of genocide.

Will that happen? I have ever-decreasing hopes.

More thoughts on Israel

Somehow I can't get past the issues with the current Israel conflict. Today I watched a recent documentary about Israel's war crimes:

It reinforces my views about their sense of impunity. Here are shots which they say (and I believe) were posted on social media by the mainly named Israel Defense Forces members:

There's much more in the content (the video is 80 minutes long, and I haven't even finished watching it), including much wilful destruction of buildings and targeted killing of civilians. One of the most disturbing facets is how many Israeli citizens are in favour of these atrocities. The video seems to suggest that it's all Israelis, but we know that's not the case. How many? Still, in Israel the main concern seems to be getting the return of the remaining hostages, of whom probably fewer than 50 are still alive, many having been killed by Israeli attacks.

How can they get away with that? Clearly they're not being punished by Israeli authorities if they publish evidence of their crimes so openly. It's high time that Israeli leadership be prosecuted by international courts. Again, for that to happen something needs to change radically.
