The word “disproportionate” doesn’t do justice to the disparity between Hamas’s slaughter and what’s eventually going to be the butcher’s bill for Israel. From Finian Cunningham at strategic-culture.org:
If Biden and the Israelis were really concerned about alleviating civilian suffering they would open the crossings in Gaza leading to Israel.
Israeli leaders often accuse Arab and Iranian enemies of desiring to “wipe Israel off the map”. The accusation is meant to designate opponents as harboring evil designs to annihilate the Israeli state with implicit Nazi undertones.
Ironically, the escalation in Israeli-Palestinian violence over the past two weeks appears to be giving the Israeli extremists an opportunity to finally settle the Palestinian Question that has dogged their Zionist dreams for decades.
Benjamin Netanyahu called the Hamas mass killings on October 7 Israel’s “9/11 moment”.
Every day since the Hamas gun and rocket attacks, the Netanyahu regime has bombarded the Gaza Strip with a vengeance that goes way beyond the usual Israeli bloodlust. The widespread indiscriminate air strikes and killing of Palestinian civilians are shocking even by Israeli standards.
The Palestinian death toll, so far, is nearly 3,000 compared with 1,300 Israelis killed by Hamas on October 7. A further 1,000 Palestinians are missing buried under rubble, and nearly 10,000 are injured. The Israeli bombing of civilian convoys trying to flee the violence and the destruction of hospitals will raise the death toll even more in the coming days.
There is absolutely no justification for this slaughter of Palestinian civilians, regardless of the heinous murders committed by Hamas.
