Whoa: Times of Israel Op-Ed Advocates Genocide Against Gazans

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Oh, but Gordon apologized.

I wish to express deep regret and beg forgiveness for an article I authored which was posted on 5TJT.com, Times of Israel and was tweeted and shared the world over.

I never intended to call to harm any people although my words may have conveyed that message.

With that said I pray and hope for a quick peaceful end to the hostilities and that all people learn to coexist with each other in creating a better world for us all.

Yochanan Gordon

So, clearly, he was wishing only the best for the Palestinians when he wrote,

"If political leaders and military experts determine that the only way to achieve its goal of sustaining quiet is through genocide is it then permissible to achieve those responsible goals?

"What other way then is there to deal with an enemy of this nature other than obliterate them completely?"

"Genocide" is of course a synonym for "mild rebuke," and by "obliterate them completely" he no doubt meant "send them food and medicine."

Surely only the mean-spirited would fail to see the benevolent intent behind his words.
