Re: Gaza/ Israel
It's a fact.
Israel have engaged in and continue to engage in illegal land grab and theft. I'm not citing lists of the 'spoils of war' from their various military engagements with their neighbours since Israel was founded ... needless to say it's territory has grown substantially. Occupation, resettling and annexation been the Israeli preferred method of colonisation.
Israel are now a law unto themselves ... and impervious or arrogantly ignorant of international criticism and any element of compromise. They are no longer the underdog. Can't blame them for that attitude after WW2 but it could be said they've become just another power hungry butcher in the ME.
They're now identical to their neighbours.
It's the 'last man standing mentality'.
Yes, they have the right to defend themselves but no one can deny they have become a major provocateur in the region so it's pointless to dress them up as the victim anymore. Their staunchest supporters simply absolve them totally of any wrongdoing.
