"Burn them all," he said "Burn them in their homes. Burn them in their beds. Burn them all."
Unfortunately we don't have a Jamie Lannister to save the Gaza people from the fury of the IDF and the Israeli Government...
“It is an entire nation out there that is responsible,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said at a press conference on Friday. “It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true. They could have risen up. They could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d’etat.”
The entire nation is responsible...The fear and terror the Israelis suffered last weekend has in one week already led to a total abandonment of humanity, a rush to collectively punish people already oppressed by the Israeli Government and Hamas, and sadly War Crimes. The blood lust and mindless rush to inflict overwhelming violence shows no sign of abating and the Ground War is now slowly and methodically being prepared. Look, unlike in a real War the IDF can take it's time because it's build-up doesn't put it any danger of being attacked by an actual army. The continuing rocket attacks are a tactical nuisance but, convey no operational impediment. So, then what is the strategy for the Israeli Government and it's military? Because...
Meanwhile, illegal settlement in the West Bank and violence against Palestinians not in Gaza increases.
Meanwhile Israel has ordered 1 million Gazan's leave the North and instructed the Palestinians to relocate themselves into refugee camps in the Sinai desert and live in tents...
Meanwhile, anger over the killing of children in Israel apparently resulted in a 6 year old being stabbed to death for the crime of being Muslim. Did this 71 year old Polish man became an angry Faux News Grandpa when he decided to choke and stab a Palestinian woman who fled the West Bank a decade ago and then kill her US born son?
If you are against Israeli War Crimes be prepared to face violence here. Republican Council Member Inna Vernikov, decided to openly display her handgun and call protestors Terrorists.
While, American Jewish people have apparently been shocked, saddened, upset, and outraged at the response by college students and various other inconsequential people, President Biden and Secretary's Anthony Blinken and Lloyd Austin have given the full-support of the United States to Israel. With that support as well as vocal support from very angry Billionaires the IDF is planning a so-called full-scale combined "Air, Sea, and Land" assault on the people of Gaza.
So... I ask when can we tell Israel to stop? Because it absolutely appears the military operation in Gaza has the strategic goal to kill or displace every Palestinian. But, to ask the question is to find yourself the target of a coordinated on-line social media campaign which labels anyone pleading for Israel to show some restraint an anti-semite at best, but more likely, a Jew-Hating Nazi full-throated defender of Hamas and the brutality of the attacks who wants every Jew to be slaughtered.
The very simple explanation for this is such accusations place the person on the defensive so their next response has to be 'Obviously I condemn and denounce Hamas' and thereby shut down any rational discourse on the response of IDF and the Israeli government. Israeli supporters then proclaim they don't support Netanyahu but, put the onus back on those requesting restraint by making the entire response an open-ended campaign in which the Palestinian suffering and ethnic cleansing is a fait accompli.
Displacement and the replacement of everyone in Gaza with Israelis along with mass destruction of the "infrastructure" seems to be the military operation here. Collective Punishment for 2 Million people, Never Again began in 1948 and 75 years later it's happening again...
