Good article, thank you Alon!

I still reserve my judgement as to what portion of Israel's acts was motivated by revenge. Obviously there are some bad apples in the IDF, but I don't have the numbers, nor do I think that the author can quantify the proportions of Israeli atrocities versus legitimate defence, nor does any of us has the real numbers on how many Gazan innocent civilians, women and children were actually killed, also on how many of those were killed by Israel rather than by Hamas as well as on how many of them were not-so-innocent.

Dear David (VK3AUU),

«Netanyahoo and his Zionist mates don't have souls.»

Yes, Netanyahu and his mates don't have souls,
but I would not call them "Zionist":
they destroy everything that Zionism ever built,
their values are diametrically opposed to those of the original Zionists,
the values of Netanyahu's mates come from Jewish-Messianic lunatism, while Netanyahu himself values only money, power, luxuries and avoiding jail.

Netanyahoo and his Zionist mates don't have souls

So, the terrorists who never allow peace to get a grip do have souls ?
They must be rather weird souls indeed !

Good Arabs, bad Jews.

When the inevitable happens that the authors victims expose their own truths of toxicity to the West, and land in our own back yards as refugees , paraded as the quintessential, marginalised maligned and victimised, examples of the downtrodden persecuted minority, and extreme woke example of the DEI personified, then better you hide your daughters, for hell holds no bounds against their evil deeds, viz Oct 7th.

Agree with most of this and add, HAMAS and all the other Iran financed terrorists, must be removed with extreme prejudice!

Extreme religious beliefs, and the consequent actions, are dangerous.
Especially when based on fairy tales.

I have just read the most brutally honest assessment of the 'situation' in Gaza.

"...Journalists and politicians call it war. The informed and honest call it genocide.

What I see is a holocaust - the incomprehensible culmination of 75 years of Israeli impunity for persistent war crimes..."
