Israel’s killing machine knows no bounds

Sonja Karkar of Australian Women for Palestine and Australians for Palestine, puts the position of Israel, and its actions, both succinctly and perfectly correctly:

"How Israelis will be able to lift their heads after the shocking crimes its government has committed in their name is incomprehensible. We know there are many anguished Israelis who did not support their government’s decision, but regrettably they too will be tarred with the same brush that has already irreparably stained Israel’s moral standing for posterity. And for what? A Greater Israel cleansed of the people whose land it actually is? What delusional victory can Israel claim in such a woefully unequal fight? What kind of co-existence is possible after such savagery? And that is the crux of it all – with its indiscriminate, merciless bombardment of an already decimated civilian population, Israel has put paid to the possibility of any kind of forgiving, trustworthy and peaceful co-existence with Palestinians in this generation’s life-time. If you think such a claim is exaggerated, then read the following account of how a Palestinian doctor who worked for co-existence with Israel watched his three daughters killed in an instant and howled wretchedly into the phone of an Israeli newscaster for whom he had given frequent interviews before. That interview has been broadcast around the world. There is no accounting for the arrogance of Israel’s power and the barbarity with which it is executed against those who have been deliberately marked for extinction. And not too
soon, Israel will find itself shunned like other pariah states that have committed some of the most shocking crimes against humanity. All due, I might add, to its own making."

The piece she refers to is the LA Times article "Oh my God, my daughters have been killed" posted here yesterday.
