An Atrocity in Gaza
December 30, 2008 08:00 AM EST
It must be said. What is happening in Gaza is an atrocity. 300 for 1
is simply not acceptable. It is reprehensible. It is barbarism. Plain
and simple.
And of course, the Israel Lobby will continue to pull the wool over
the eyes of the American public.
I am outraged almost beyond words. It is an unconscionable act of a
people who have gone, in less than two generations, from the oppressed
to the oppressors. And it must stop.
It is time for the Israelis to forgive the West and the rest of the
world for the Holocaust.
Why?
In one century man has committed four major genocides: those
perpetrated against the Armenians, European Jewry, Cambodians and
Rwandans, not to mention those against the Kurds, Bosnian Muslims and
Kosovars. One, in the Sudan, is already underway in the 21st century.
What’s the lesson here? Perhaps it is this. Nothing is unique about
any of them and complacency is deadly. It can happen anywhere.
What would the world be like if all of these nations acted as Israel
does?
Until Israel comes to grips with this simple reality there will be no
peace in the Middle East and American will continue to be embroiled in
wars that make the Middle East safe for Israel.
