    Just More Self-Serving Zionist Propaganda from Aluf Benn

    Judith Stone said it best when she asked:

    "Where are the Jews of conscience?...being a survivor or a co-religionist of the victims of the European Holocaust does not grant dispensation from abiding by the rules of humanity....'Never again' as a motto, rings hollow when it means 'never again to us alone.'"

    What is going on now is an atrocity. Palestinians had their land taken away forcibly, and now, after fifty years in refugee camps and crowded into subhuman conditions in Gaza, they're being exterminated.

    Israel is a nation built on the subjugation and exile of Palestinians, maintained by subjugation and exile of the Palestinians. When the Palestinians attempt to fight back, they naturally must be crushed in order for the Israeli state to maintain status quo.

    Package it up any way you like, Zionists, but what Israel is doing right now to the Palestinians in Gaza an atrocity and it's inexcusable.
