14, March 2020 Israel’s barbarity
Gideon Levy, a renowned Israeli journalist and
author, writes a weekly column for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, focusing on
the devastating impact the Israeli occupation has on Palestinian life.
In a
recent article in the newspaper Haaretz, Levy describes young IDF (Israeli
Defense Forces) as “hunters.” These hunters have shot thousands of unarmed
protestors along the Israel-Gaza border fence. He accuses Israel of utter
barbarity in shooting and maiming unarmed Palestinian civilians.
In his article, Levy made a brief reference to
the 6th day war published in English as the 7th
day a heavily censored document describing how “Israeli patriots” were
transformed into butchers, when captured Arabs were forced the utter
humiliation of kissing the feet of their captors.
The hunters have killed 200 Palestinians and wounded 8,000 who are permanently disabled including many leg amputees. Many of the shooters take pride in their actions. Many expressed regret they did not spill more blood. Blinded by hate they and their military commanders have lost their moral compass, their very soul. The hunters boast how many knees they have smashed. The record stands at 78 knees in one day.
They act with complete impunity. No one suffers punishment from their commanders. Meanwhile, our government continues to reward Israel for its utter brutality with $billions of our tax money aiding and abetting Israel’s inhumanity and apartheid policies. This is sheer madness and must stop.
