Response sent NYT op ed : Hamas 8-25-14

25, August 2014,        Response sent NYT op ed : Hamas

Sadly, the NYT gives generous space to propagate Israeli propaganda. Israeli journalist Gideon Levy said it best; “the Middle East peace will never come until the Israeli government drops its rejection of basic Palestinian rights. Sure Israel wants peace, Israel just doesn’t want a just peace. When was Israel willing to give up its occupation? Never.” The strategy was very simple; maintain the status quo, gain time, gobble up more and more land; Hamas is a terrorist group and therefore we can never negotiate peace with a terrorist group – how convenient! Create a walled city stealing more and more Palestinian land and ensure unconditional US support –voila! you have it – greater Israel using the barrel of a gun. Where is the proof – building more and more settlements and toss dissenters in dungeons without charge? Justice Israeli style. Example, Levy has received death threats after calling on Israeli Air Force pilots to refuse to bomb Gaza. It’s time to take Israel to the International Criminal Court and hold them accountable for war crimes. Perhaps we should also be held accountable for aiding and abetting Israel in their messianic zeal to fulfill their biblical prophecy!
