Gaza: The Gates of Wrath and Sorrow Swing Open Once Again

[bluenoseclaret]

Quiet on here compared to 4 years ago.

The pedlars of evil and hate appear to have become even more powerful. Listening to or reading the mainstream media in Britain......pass the sick bucket. God, how many Friends of Israel are in the political parties and among the "Holocausted" population. Take a trip to Auschwitz. You can fuck that shit.

God, I miss Alice the Kurious.

The moral soul, her posts were full off.

Does Murdoch's pro-Zionist Israel outburst reflect an underlying anti-Semitism?

Kardashian, Murdoch slammed for tweets involving Israel

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch on Saturday blasted what he called the "Jewish-owned press" for their "anti-Israel" coverage.

"Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?" tweeted Murdoch, who has positioned himself as a supporter of Israel.

In a second tweet he added: "Middle East ready to boil over any day. Israel position precarious. Meanwhile watch CNN and AP bias to point of embarrassment."

I really don't think the important issue at hand here, while Gazans are being slaughtered, is the anti-semitism of a radically pro-zionist media mogul like Rupert Murdoch. Maybe just once Israel could be discussed without anti-semitism being the issue?

I think she had enough of the hate flung at her by some of the chosen members.

If you know what I mean.

Whatever,..I hope your impotant discussion, while Gazans are being slaughtered, is effective...

As do I. It's not much, but it's better than nothing I suppose. Might I ask what your purpose is in steering the conversation in the direction your first post takes us?

The last Gaza war, a three-week Israeli blitz and invasion over the New Year of 2008-09, killed 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians. Thirteen Israelis died in the conflict.

how that can not induce rage in any thinking soul is beyond me.

How ANYONE can possibly call that justified is beyond me. Two-faced disingenuous lairs each and every one that supports this shit.

no doubt outnumbered and largely ignored by the knuckle-dragging bloodthirsty killers that apparently make up most of the population but here...

No steering involved, just came across the news item in question and thought it topical,..I'd never realized Rupert was into the 'Jews control the media' line, and posted it in a thread that seemed to be appropriate.

I usually stick to spoofing more light hearted nerd topics, but today I felt compelled to make the situation more plain for people

Even crazier was the 2006 "war", when Israel invaded South Lebanon and killed over 1300 all because two IDF soldiers were captured by Hezbollah. Captured. Not tortured, mistreated, or killed.

Gilad Sharon, Son Of Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Writes Op-Ed: 'We Need To Flatten Entire Neighborhoods In Gaza'
by Adam Goldberg
Gilad Sharon, son of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, wrote an op-ed on Sunday calling for even more aggressive Israeli strikes in Gaza.
"We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza," states Sharon in The Jerusalem Post.

The violence between Israel and Hamas this week has reportedly claimed the lives of 73 Palestinians, including 37 civilians, as well as 3 Israeli civilians. Current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that "the Israeli military is prepared to significantly expand the operation."

Sharon writes in his op-ed that "the residents of Gaza are not innocent, they elected Hamas. The Gazans aren’t hostages; they chose this freely, and must live with the consequences." After saying that Israel needs to "flatten all of Gaza," he goes on to say, "The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too."

He concludes his defense of Israel's actions with a hawkish message:

There is no middle path here – either the Gazans and their infrastructure are made to pay the price, or we reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip. Otherwise there will be no decisive victory. And we’re running out of time – we must achieve victory quickly. The Netanyahu government is on a short international leash. Soon the pressure will start – and a million civilians can’t live under fire for long. This needs to end quickly – with a bang, not a whimper.
A bio on the website for HarperCollins Publishers describes Sharon as follows:

Gilad Sharon is the youngest of former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon’s sons. Gilad holds a master’s degree in economics and writes a column for the prominent Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. A major in the Israel Defense Force reserves, he currently manages his family’s farm in Israel.
Sharon isn't alone in his militant tone. Israel's Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai is reported by The Yeshiva World News to have said, "We must blow Gaza back to the Middle Ages, destroying all the infrastructure including roads and water." Haaretz also reports that Yishai stated, "The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages."

President Barack Obama said on Sunday that the United States is "fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself."

The violent conflict continued on Sunday as Palestinian militants fired more than 100 rockets into Israel, and one of Israel's missile strikes killed at least 11 civilians.
