“Israeli soldier who
shot dead wounded Palestinian has prison sentence cut by a third
“Elor Azaria will walk
free after serving nine months for killing Abdul Fatah al-Sharif as he lay
motionless on ground”
Nothing like the state actually encouraging brutality.
Israeli soldiers and police have been let off scores of
times following cold-blooded killing or frightful abuse.
It all reminds me of backward parts of the American South
where local sheriffs were long free to terrorize any blacks or liberals
sympathizing with blacks. And there are still pockets of that to be found.
What on earth did the Palestinian people ever do to deserve
their fate?
The Holocaust was the work of Germans against other Germanic
people (the Ashkenazi who dominate Israel and Zionism) on another continent,
three-quarters of a century ago.
Yet the Palestinians must endlessly pay the price, a
terrible price.
And, of course, the Israeli injustice is strongly supported
by America, a country which absolutely refused to take any refugees before
Hitler began the Holocaust. It was quite blunt about it.
And a country whose great companies and wealthy people
greatly assisted Hitler's rise and early success.
The American Bund in the 1930s was a big movement in
America, one whose uniforms and practices looked for all the world like the
Nazi SA.
Possibly the most anti-Semitic book ever written was written
by an American, a rich and famous one, Henry Ford. Hitler quite admired him.
And America was a country which had literally
institutionalized many aspects of anti-Semitism right up into the 1960s.
The Ivy League Universities (very much including Harvard)
and many important institutions had strict quotas on the number of Jews who
were accepted.
Many American clubs and fraternal organizations banned them
completely.
Yet today, this "brave" country with its
stunningly cowardly and prejudiced past is the great defender of all things
Israeli, that is, so long it’s the Palestinians paying the price.
Just shameful, all of it.
