It's all so disgusting. Money and evil go hand in hand.

Not combat...there was no other army involved, just civilians and resistance fighters. They make me sick.

Indeed Louise.

You could easily imagine a conference taking place in the 1940's during WW2. A conference of top Nazis and German arms manufacturers, including manufacturers of the gas used to massacre 6 million Jews. You could imagine them taking and saying how the sacrifice of human life could prove their weapons systems "valid" and how Auschwitz and Belsen had become places in which their weapons could be tested. Even the comment about targeting a 'pixel' could well have been made there. We know what crimes against humanity were committed by the Nazis, not just against Jews, but against gypsies, political opponents of the Nazis among the German population, such as communists and social democrats, and, of course, those deemed degenerate and unfit; countless children and adults torn from their families to be exterminated in the 1930s. History calls it The Holocaust.

What we have in Gaza is a veritable second Holocaust; where human beings are derogated as "animals", as in WW2, and massacred callously and indiscriminately; men, women and children; the healthy and the sick; the militants and (mostly) the civilians. In this instance, the perpetrators are not the Nazis of old, but Zionists, motivated by the racist idea that Palestine is theirs; if this is so, like the Nazis before them, they must clear the land of all other people who do not belong to their 'race'. The bitterest irony here is that this declaration of land ownership, of sequestration of territory, of dispossession and war is being made on behalf of the very people who were victimised by the Nazis. This is why it is so good to see that an increasing number of Jews in the diaspora are standing with the Palestinian people against Zionism and against Netanyahu and the crimes he is committing in the name of Israel as an ethnostate based on terror.

Good that you are exposing the thought processes of the Israeli elite and how they are sanitising their genocide and using it to sell ever more weapons on international markets. But let us remember the historical precedents.

Unconscionable, amoral, I run out of words to describe how vile their deeds are. To talk of human beings, with hopes, dreams, ambitions, lives as pixels on a screen and whose death counts as validation of their blood-soaked products effectiveness is just despicable.

And they have ingrained this callousness to the point where they speak openly about such things at a conference as if they are nothing. Just so painful to know these weapons are likely still being used and this killing continues, under the so-called "ceasefire"

Genocide is big business for Israeli weapons production… First Gaza, then on to “Iran and Yemen…”

I’ve had good friends who’ve been Jewish all my life. Love Jewish and Yiddish culture; and have also had good friends who were Muslim from Iran, Lebanon and Africa. This has been no personal conflict for me, by culture or faith. It is so terribly tragic that the reactionary militance of the Israeli-Arab divide still continues causing ever more closed hearts and minds, and so much unnecessary suffering and unprecedented destruction.

The current Zionist genocide against the population of Gaza is such a senselessly ironic holocaust: deeply cursing both Israel and Jews around the world, and out into the inevitable eyes of history.

The people and culture of Gaza are being cruelly reduced to an impoverished landless population, possibly never fully recovering from such unmitigated destruction. As in 1918, the war machine and real estate deals for stolen Middle East land grinds on…

We absolutely must continue to take heart to resist and out the truth, no matter the perceived odds.

At what point does the Hague and international criminal courts have any teeth in these matters?

Evil. There’s just no other word for it.

Before WWII began, Franco was assisted by Germany who were eager to use the Spanish Civil War to validate their war technology.

I think I know who you were referring to by Muslims in your article brother. Those might be Muslims (although I doubt that people like that believe in any God) but they are not believers ( Mo'men) and the place of such people on judgment day isn't a very pleasant one to say the least.
