I have reasoned that Israel, and its Jewish population and anyone else who happens to feel an instinctual hostility towards Arabs, should move to the Ngev desert as the leader of Egypt briefly entertained as a reasonable solution to the Palestinians’ plight.
The Palestinians have, unlike the Jews of that land, never left, and as of the advent of Zionism in Odessa – only recently did the basis for a mass influx of Jews to Palestine take place, from Europe in flight from either fascism or from the collapsing feudal order and its history of pogroms on the Jews, viz a viz the British Balfour declaration with Winston Churchill’s blessing – to Palestine.
The surprise offensive by Hamas on Israel has been paraded as a mass murder. The last time I heard those words it was in relation to Hitler which was in the vicinity of 6 million body count. I think the words chosen by the mass media are deliberately obfuscating an ongoing genocide against the Palestinians whose existence side by side with other mostly Arabic states, would be more peaceful and acceptable than the US proxy state of Israel and its project on the Palestinians which is a top earner for police states worldwide.
