Israel’s leaders in their own words, from Caitlin Johnstone at caitlinjohnstone.org:
As Maya Angelou said, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
One problem Israel keeps running into is how the institutionalized dehumanization of Palestinians which keeps the apartheid state operational also causes Israelis to say things that non-Israelis will find extremely shocking, which hurts Israel’s PR interests.
We saw this illustrated in a recent New Yorker interview with Daniella Weiss, a leader of the push to build illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Weiss stated frankly and unapologetically that she supports apartheid, that she doesn’t believe Palestinians should have any sovereignty anywhere, that she doesn’t believe Palestinians should have voting rights, that she wants the population of Gaza to be replaced by Israeli settlements, and that she is untroubled by the killing of children in Gaza because she feels it’s being done in the interests of Israeli children.
Asked where the Palestinians in Gaza should go, Weiss replied, “To Sinai, to Egypt, to Turkey.” When the interviewer said the Palestinians are not Egyptian or Turkish, she contended that “The Ukrainians are not French, but when the war started they went to many countries.”
To the question “When you see Palestinian children dying, what’s your emotional reaction as a human being?”, Weiss answered, “I go by a very basic human law of nature. My children are prior to the children of the enemy, period. They are first. My children are first.”
Maya Angelou was an affirmitve action no-talent
hack. The Neil Degrasse Tyson of poety. You my
dear need to live in a muslim country for a year or
so, not as a celebrety writer, but as an average
woman. And explain to me why muslim men get
a pass here in the states while all the other men
have to follow your dictates of cuckoldism. You
messed up, should have married a Jewish doctor.
