[Illusion]

A day before Palestinian teenager Muhammad Abu Khudair was kidnapped and burned alive allegedly by six Israeli Jewish youths, Israeli lawmaker Ayelet Shaked published on Facebook a call for genocide of the Palestinians.

It is a call for genocide because it declares that “the entire Palestinian people is the enemy” and justifies its destruction, “including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure.”

It is a call for genocide because it calls for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers who give birth to “little snakes.”

If Shaked’s post does not meet the legal definition of a call for genocide then nothing does.

Shaked is a senior figure in the Habeyit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) party that is part of Israel’s ruling coalition.

Her post was shared more than one thousand times and received almost five thousand “Likes.”

Uri Elitzur, to whom she refers, and who died a few months ago, was leader of the settler movement and speechwriter and close advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Here’s a full translation of Shaked’s posting:

This is an article by the late Uri Elitzur, which was written 12 years ago, but remained unpublished. It is as relevant today as it was at the time.

The Palestinian people has declared war on us, and we must respond with war. Not an operation, not a slow-moving one, not low-intensity, not controlled escalation, no destruction of terror infrastructure, no targeted killings. Enough with the oblique references. This is a war. Words have meanings. This is a war. It is not a war against terror, and not a war against extremists, and not even a war against the Palestinian Authority. These too are forms of avoiding reality. This is a war between two people. Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for us to define reality with the simple words that language puts at our disposal. Why do we have to make up a new name for the war every other week, just to avoid calling it by its name. What’s so horrifying about understanding that the entire Palestinian people is the enemy? Every war is between two peoples, and in every war the people who started the war, that whole people, is the enemy. A declaration of war is not a war crime. Responding with war certainly is not. Nor is the use of the word “war”, nor a clear definition who the enemy is. Au contraire: the morality of war (yes, there is such a thing) is founded on the assumption that there are wars in this world, and that war is not the normal state of things, and that in wars the enemy is usually an entire people, including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure.

And the morality of war knows that it is not possible to refrain from hurting enemy civilians. It does not condemn the British air force, which bombed and totally destroyed the German city of Dresden, or the US planes that destroyed the cities of Poland and wrecked half of Budapest, places whose wretched residents had never done a thing to America, but which had to be destroyed in order to win the war against evil. The morals of war do not require that Russia be brought to trial, though it bombs and destroys towns and neighborhoods in Chechnya. It does not denounce the UN Peacekeeping Forces for killing hundreds of civilians in Angola, nor the NATO forces who bombed Milosevic’s Belgrade, a city with a million civilians, elderly, babies, women, and children. The morals of war accept as correct in principle, not only politically, what America has done in Afghanistan, including the massive bombing of populated places, including the creation of a refugee stream of hundreds of thousands of people who escaped the horrors of war, for thousands of whom there is no home to return to.

And in our war this is sevenfold more correct, because the enemy soldiers hide out among the population, and it is only through its support that they can fight. Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. Actors in the war are those who incite in mosques, who write the murderous curricula for schools, who give shelter, who provide vehicles, and all those who honor and give them their moral support. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.

Shocking words like this from Israeli leaders have an impact. And they are words backed by actions.

When Israel rampages against the entire Palestinian population, subjecting them to what Human Rights Watch calls “collective punishment,” it sends a clear message to the Israeli public that any Palestinian is fair game for “revenge.”

Shaked evidently has much worse in mind.

I don't know how some people can ignore that there are 2 sides in this fight, and both have blood on their hands.

BTW- She's hot

Exactly.

The fighting is just fucking childish. The area should just declare itself "Palisrael" or "Israstine", make Arabic and Hebrew official languages and be done with it. Level the playing field, so to speak.

That will never happen. There are too many contested holy sites, too many tombs of historically revered martyrs from either faith sharing the same real estate, and too many centuries of bad blood stretching as far back as the book of Exodus. The only solution -- the inevitable solution -- to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict will be the destruction of either one state or the other; and should Israel prevail in such an event, it -- and by extension, us -- will have the rest of the Arab Muslim world with which to contend.

It's simply a matter of time.

The biggest roadblock is what to do with Jerusalem. It'd been proposed to make it an international city that nobody owns, sounds good to me apparently it's the centre of a prophesy though, that interconnects with evangelical Christian faith...... It will never happen.
If America threatened to cut funding, and actually meant it, Israel would have no choice but to make concessions such as this. This land has no strategic military value, like the vast majority of settlements it's largely based on religious views.

As it is, Israel has no real incentive to back out of settlements. Every year that goes by the area and numbers go up, they are willing to put up with a few primitive rocket attacks and terror attacks to keep on expanding.

Yes. But something needs to wake up most Jews, Muslims and some Christians there to a concept called sharing. It's like any other ethnic squabble, just pointless. What ticks me off most is how Israel treats the minority Palestinian population; it's 21st Century aparteid as far as I'm concerned. No wonder the Palestinians lash out at the Israelis.

This conflict will never end.

How is it anything like apartheid, there are many muslims and christians in israel and non jews who enjoy the full benefits of full citizenship. I think 20% of the population actually...

"We desire death as you desire life."

Pretty clear which side is going to come out on top most of the time in this conflict, ain't it?

[petedeamon]

Too much given to Palestine and not enough truth behind the propaganda involving Palestinian shelling from schools, hospitals and public centers and Jewish return salvo will be to the point of origin...think about the bullshit! The Jews have made all the concession and the Palestinians have only created chaos. The small area the Jews occupy is infinitesimal compared to Palestine!
