| Richard, the ICJ's decision to hear the case brought by South Africa against Israel emphatically does not mean that the accusation of genocide has been accepted, any more than the fact that a man is on trial implies that he is guilty. Hiding behind a procedural judgment by the ICJ in order to justify this slur does you no credit. In my view the accusation of genocide is entirely without merit, a blood libel of a kind of which Jews have been victims for centuries. The IDF did not attempt to exterminate the the civilian population of Gaza (or any part of it). That is why they gave advance warnings of their attacks. Unfortunately Hamas chose to fire on the IDF from residential areas, making civilian casualties impossible to avoid. The double standard applied to Israel, whereby civilian deaths in Gaza are cited as evidence of genocide whereas, for example, the hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths in Germany during the Second World War are merely regarded as the inevitable consequence of a justified struggle, is fundamentally racist. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance protocols identify the practice of judging Israel by standards not applied to other nations as anti-Semitic. I also reject your justification for the use of the term brownshirts to describe the extremist settlers. It is quite legitimate to describe them as thugs and fanatics but there was absolutely no need to invoke the Nazis who did not just engage in sectarian violence but carried out a programme of actual genocide. |
