COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
Israeli pilots say
they would refuse to fly deported asylum seekers back to Africa: 'I will not be
a partner to this barbarity'

Response to a comment “Strange
how crazy, violent and irrational people's comments become when the word
"Israel" is mentioned”:
And do you think that just might possibly be owing to the
reality of what Israel does, week-in, week-out, to several million people?
Gaza is a concentration camp, an unimaginable thing given
the history of the people enforcing it. An enforced filth-hole with infinite
restrictions on a million and a half human beings just because they’re not
Jewish.
But there you have it, plain as day, one of the most brutal
behaviors by any government in the world today. Never mind Myanmar or other
godawful places.
And others are supposed to just ignore it?
Isn't that exactly what encourages the worst evils, people
ignoring them?
And here the same Israelis are in the press desperately
maneuvering to send some poor black African refugees to their deaths. All
because Mr. and Mrs. Netanyahu do not happen to like having black people in the
neighborhood.
Nice to see a few brave pilots stand up against them.
But what week passes that Israel doesn't openly, violently
steal someone else's home in the West Bank or East Jerusalem?
And surely you know that making threats against the UN, as
Israel has done for months, gains it no friends or admirers.
Especially when those threats are simply a bad-tempered response
to honest views and acts.
Imagine angrily leaving a fine agency like UNESCO, which
does many good works in the world, just because it doesn't follow Israel's
dictates, a country representing about one-tenth of one percent of the world’s
people?
