10 years ago, during the May 2004 Israeli incursion into Gaza, an Israeli soldier murdered a young Palestinian child in cold blood. The total lack of humanity demonstrated by that trained soldier reminds one of the phrase coined by political theorist Hannah Arendt who (referring to the Nazis), talked of the "banality of evil".
10 years after this murder, the Times of Israel yesterday published an Op-ed which advocated the genocide of Arabs in Palestine. After facing a storm of protest from around the world (but none in Israel), the Times pulled the article.
Thanks to Internet archive though, it can still be accessed online* (PDF here, drama here). In another Op-ed in the same newspaper another writer advocates genocide, although in the last few hours a hasty addendum attempts to clarify the writer’s position.
Israelis seem to view Palestinians as vermin to be put down, as demonstrated by the views of an Israeli sniper who boasts of having killed 13 Muslim children.
In the face of such murderous hostility does anyone seriously believe that there is still the possibility of a two state solution?
You cannot make peace with evil such as this; you have to fight it, by any (legal) means possible...
