It’s written by a professor of political science at Tel Aviv University. Basically he’s saying Israel is not distinguishing between civilians and the ‘real enemy’. That there is no morality in anything Israel is doing currently or has done at all since the occupation. Interesting that even a Jewish guy can see what his own people are doing. I hope he spreads the word.

They cry about how they were treated by Hitler..they don't know they are doing the worst!
Re: Interesting Article on Israeli War
It is a huge mistake on our part to label all Jewish people as the same. Not all of them are Pro-Israel or even pro-war. Let's not forget that Noam Chomsky is the one of the first people to speak out against Israel and who brought attention to the fact that two Palestinians were kidnapped by the Israeli army one day before the Israeli soldier was kidnapped, and he's Jewish.
We don't like it when people label us as terrorists. We shouldn't do the same to them either because not all of them agree with the actions of the government of Israel.
Re: Interesting Article on Israeli War
All they are doing is a giving an incentive to more people to take things in their own hands. Then you wonder what kind of a mindset becomes a suicide bomber. Hello? It's not as much of an attraction of the hereafter, it's because you ba$tards killed my son in the carpet bombing. I feel sorry for American and Israeli civilians, they can only expect another 9/11 after this indiscriminate massacre.

Also check out sites like www.adbusters.org and www.democracynow.org for further reading. I found an interesting interview with Noam Chomsky about,
“Israel and the United States at once announced that they were going to punish the people of Palestine for voting the wrong way in a free election. And the punishment has been severe.”

Chomsky-" In my view, the inciting event in the present case, events, are those that I mentioned – the constant intense repression; plenty of abductions; plenty of atrocities in Gaza; the steady takeover of the West Bank, which, in effect, if it continues, is just the murder of a nation, the end of Palestine; the abduction on June 24 of the two Gaza civilians; and then the reaction to the abduction of Corporal Shalit. And there’s a difference, incidentally, between abduction of civilians and abduction of soldiers. Even international humanitarian law makes that distinction."
" I mean, I don’t have to tell you that there are constant attacks going on in Gaza, which is basically a prison, huge prison, under constant attack all the time: economic strangulation, military attack, assassinations, and so on. In comparison with that, abduction of a soldier, whatever one thinks about it, doesn’t rank high in the scale of atrocities."
Re: Interesting Article on Israeli War
This so-called war is so moronic and inhumane that words fail me. For those who still want to come across as politically correct, please open your eyes. Time to stop being apologetic for the actions of the Americans and the Israelis. Terrorists are the frustrated lot who record audios and videos under the pretext of bravado yet fall terribly short of their own expectations; and the real terrorists are the powerful western governments who actually go ahead and commit these massacres one after the other, deliberately kill civillians and innocents, follow it up by arrogant statements and yet claim to be humane, democratic and liberators. This theatre of barbarianism is so shameful that words cant describe it.
Re: Interesting Article on Israeli War
The Cambodians, Rwandan Tutsi's and Congolese have suffered even worse genocides than the Jews, and I don't see any of them inflicting Nazi-like suffering on other people's as the Israeli Jews are on their neighbours.
