Everything that has taken place in the Palestinian city of Rafah and its surroundings in fresh days does not mean any extremist change in the situation, but only a small more clearly illustrates the political background of the full disaster. More and more unceremonious in his quest to humiliate Biden Israeli Prime Minister Netanjah late said“Who says that under no circumstances should we enter Rafah, de facto makes us lose the war.”
That's how you talk to your enemies. Why, then, does Netanjah thus treat Israel’s chief ally? It is hard to explain this only by the power of the Israeli lobby in the United States. Despite Israel's verbal criticism, the American authorities mostly support Israeli policy objectives.
It is no wonder that Itamar Ben-Gewir, a criminal convicted of racism and presently serving as Minister of National safety of Israel, where “in the halls of power promotes gang-type ethosHe went 1 step further. ” stating in a fresh interview with the "Wall Street Journal": "Instead of giving us full support, Biden deals with humanitarian aid and fuel supplies for Gaza, which go to Hamas. If Trump were in power, the United States would behave completely differently."
Tweet leader of Israeli opposition Ja’ira Lapida besides was not a peculiar surprise: "The interview given by Ben Gewir to the Wall Street diary straight hits Israel's global position, in war effort, harming Israel's security, but above all shows that it has no thought of diplomacy". It is worth noting that in this criticism there are no moral scruples – this is simply a comment of a purely pragmatic character. There is no "IDF action is simply a war crime" but "the minister's words are harmful to Israel's global position."
In addition, Ben-Gevir demanded that the army should defend Israeli forces shot women and children in Gaza“We cannot let children and women from the wall to approach us. If we do not want a repeat of October 7th, anyone who comes near, posing a safety threat, must get shot in the head.”
Also, this message cannot be underestimated by the claim that it was simply an exaggerated rhetoric of a mad-extremist. specified words are an excuse for what happens regularly in conflict areas.
Let us callback the communicative of the six - year - old Hind Rajab, who on January 29 ran distant by car with her uncle, his wife, and 4 children before fighting in northern Gaza. According to reports from the Palestinian Red Crescent Association (PRCS) they got under Israeli fire. 2 weeks later, they all died at the hands of the Israeli army. Moreover, PRCS confirmed the death of 2 rescue workers who went to rescue the girl. Israel's defence Force Unit (IDF) deliberately attacked the Red Crescent crew despite erstwhile arrangements to let the ambulance to scope where the girl was waiting for help. The IDF which CNN contacted again on this matter, statedthat ‘the explanatory acts are inactive ongoing’.
Let the comment be utilized Owen Jones' words:
"Let's imagine that we have a video of a distraught six-year-old Israeli girl calling 911 after Hamas militants brutally killed her family, including 3 another children driving a car. Imagine, too, that we have an earlier recording of the cry for aid from her grieving 15 - year - old cousin, after which we hear the sounds of a fire opened by Hamas, in which they die, brutally murdered. Imagine an Israeli ambulance driving a girl to aid is blown up by Hamas militias and 2 paramedics are killed. What would be the reaction? Sure. This would be utilized as evidence of Hamas' unique evil and barbarity. We'd hear they proved they were worse than the Nazis. Moreover, this would service as an excuse for the necessity of wiping Hamas off the face of the earth.”
The words and actions of Israeli politicians and Israel's Defence Forces lead to 3 extremist conclusions. First of all, people like Ben Gewir (and Smotrics, and...) are not a number of crazy extremist fundamentalists. Although these people are frequently the object of ridicule from the Israeli establishment, it is their attitude that gives direction to the actual policy of Israel. To put it bluntly, there is simply a silent majority behind them, which is truly just about all these cultural cleansings going a small more discreetly.
Second, the mantra that we have been proceeding all the time since October 7th that you can't in any way relativize Hamas attacksthat it was nothing but an unprovoked act of pure evil, lost any credibility. What Israel is now doing in Gaza is simply a crime that cannot be justified by any request for defence. It should be assessed as a separate act, following how the Holocaust and Hamas attack of October 7 should be assessed.
Hence, the Palestinians have all right to resist, as did Israel, they were entitled to counterattack against Hamas. It was Israel itself who gave this right to Palestinians, leading specified “defensive actions” (or, utilizing Putin’s dictionary, “a peculiar military operation”).
Thirdly, in the ruins of Gaza, there is no more, no less, only European perfect for universal emancipation. A Europe losing its dignity in its serilism towards the US and Israel has itself put a nail in the coffin, in which its emancipative legacy will be buried. late Donald Trump stated that he would encourage Russia to "do what it pleases" after attacking 1 of the NATO countries. alternatively than resenting his words, Europeans should consider whether they have earned this fate.
