Thanks for the summary / overview.

Yes, what Israel does is unconscionable. Over the past few decades, Israel has literally stolen most Palestine land. Now, many Palestinians cannot even move around their neighbourhoods without being stopped and turned back by Israeli soldiers. Or hindered by a massive wall. (Never forget Berlin.)

In many ways, Israel is not a democracy, but a racist, apartheid state. Maybe worse. South Africa never rained bombs down onto the bantustans the way Israel bombs the crap out of Gaza.

And if anyone ever tries to tell you that that is just Israel "trying to defend itself," remind them that the supposed "weapons" that Palestinians might lob into Israel territory are tiny firecrackers compared to the massive lethal missiles fired by the Israeli armed forces.

It horrifying and horrible. One would have hoped that the holocaust would make the Zionists more humane. Instead, they've become excessively inhumane, almost inhuman.

As a Jewish anti-Zionist once told a gathering in Toronto, "Zionism is the worst tragedy to befall the Jewish people since the holocaust."
