Killing in the name, Jews and Israel.

A few years ago, a politician was slated for saying "Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those various self-styled Islamic States or organisations." While I disagree with Jeremy Corbyn about his stance on antisemitism in Labour under his stewardship, his words are right. A young Jewish couple has been shot dead in Washington, with an Israeli minister blaming Keir Starmer, among others, for the attack. The only person to blame for this is the murderer who has attacked them for being Jewish. If any politicians are to be blamed, it is those responsible for the relentless attacks on Gaza, the main one being Benjamin Netanyahu.  

In 2003, Jewish MP Oona King compared Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto, though not all agreed with this stance, that was before Israel has been bombing it to rubble. I have posted about the vile actions of Hamas and how they deliberately triggered Jews about The Holocaust before. But the retaliation of Israel has gone beyond what happened to them, this happening some time ago. 

Israel cannot be trusted to tell the truth. There are two issues which out this beyond doubt. One is the murder of Israeli hostages by the IDF who had a white flag, because it was thought they were Palestinians. If they were, the deaths would not have been investigated, because they were deemed to be terrorists. The only reason this was investigated as because they were Israeli. The other is the assassination of Palestinian paramedics, a story which was only challenged after footage if what happened was found on the corpse of one of the murdered. 


It is right to compare the October the 7th attacks to The Holocaust especially with the way Hamas recorded and broadcast the murders. Is it wrong to do the same when it comes to taking land for Living Space in the West Bank, or the killing of civilians in Gaza now?
