Genocide in Gaza and AIPAC Praises US HOUSE Representatives

[Purveyor]

According to the United Nations, more than 100 people have been killed and 340 Palestinian houses have been destroyed during Israel’s ‘Operation Protective Edge’ which began on 8 July 2014.

On Saturday in Gaza, Israel killed nine more people including two disabled women and remains oblivious to mounting international outrage and pressure to negotiate a ceasefire.

In Tel Aviv Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters, “We are weighing all possibilities and preparing for all possibilities. No international pressure will prevent us from acting with all power.”

Hamas leaders responded with a blunt warning to Israel against invading the Gaza Strip by promising that it would kidnap Israeli soldiers.

On Friday, The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee’s praised the House of Representatives for passing a forceful resolution affirming Israel’s right to self-defense and held Hamas responsible for the attacks.

1. Another Cross-Atlantic Neocon circle jerk

Congratulating themselves on a job well done. Maybe when thousands die they'll give each other medals. Assholes, the lot of them.

2. It is not genocide.

It can be called many things but genocide is not one of them.

3. Maybe ethnic cleansing would be an acceptable term.

5. With the Palestinian population at record highs

Not sure that fits either.

4. I really wish those who advocate for an end the occupation would dump the "genocide" tag

it only gives the apologists of the apartheid regime a chance to deflect and derail--what Israel is doing is not genocide as of this moment, but it's still awful enough that no person of good conscience can defend it

6. But the "apartheid" tag is just as bogus.

Once you start being honest you really need to go all the way.

7. the apartheid tag is bogus in the same way that Bibi Netanyahu is a great

leader seeking justice
