Danny Wakil, our local apologist for the state whose deliberate starvation policy, and the indiscriminate slaughter of thousands of children and civilians the world witnesses in horror each day, causing a swelling international outcry of indignation and popular demonstrations, shifts the blame on Hamas ‘who have no regard for Palestinian lives’ and admits, ‘Yes, Israel makes horrible mistakes as all countries do in war’, as if this somehow makes the carnage and blatant war crimes normal.
Look over there at ‘the oppressed Druze community in Syria’ you write, then scrape the barrel with the Euro song festival, where coming second, ‘shows that the bulk of the world can still see the truth’. What truth may this be Danny?
