People quite rightly are quick to attack israel for its attacks on gaza or hamas .. but while we mostly agree that the israeli state is extreme nationalist quasi fascist i do not think many really wish to understand why this has arisen ..
why did the community minded land loving groups of zionists fleeing from anti semitism and later the holocaust ended up like this?
this understanding IS crucial as until you understand WHY Israel acts like this, they will not stop ..
what do i think? that anti semitism continues throughout the world, individually ( and we even see it on here ) and in govts, e.g. Iran and that until jewish people wherever they live feel they are secure wherever they live they will support and bankroll israel
zionism and and hamas are the same thing .. ultra nationalist reactions to racism and fascism .. they will only go away IF there is an alternative .. Israel thinks they can defeat hamas .. they can not .. and hamas thinks they can defeat israel .. they can not
but also fundamentally though while america thinks it can rule the world they will use israel to encourage nationalism and racism rather than unity
to stop this sad cycle we must do what we can to change society where we live in the hope that one day that will change the forces that currently drive these two peoples at each other
Israel cannot defeat Hamas? They can pound Gaza flat, and with a bit of luck, that is what they will do.
Rockets falling on Beersheba today, hardly the ' primitive' weapons that the deluded on these boards have claimed.
I have hopes that Israel will finally settle this this time.
