Those who Keep Quiet Agree

 "The opposite of compromise is fanaticim and death." "A conflict begins and ends in the hearts and minds of people, not on the hilltops."  "Israel should aspire to be a decent country. That is good enough for me."  "The Israel Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy, a clash between one very powerful, very convincing, very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful, no less concerning claim."  "If we don't stop somewhere, if we don't accept an unhappy compromise, unhappy for both sides, if we don't learn how to unhappily coexist and contain our burned sense of injustice, if we don't learn that, we end up in a doomed state." "Two children of the same cruel parents look at each other and see in each other the image of the cruel parent or the image of their past oppressor. This is very much the case between Jew and Arab. It is a conflict between two victims."  Amos Oz.   "Silence is the virtue of fools."  Francis Bacon.                                                              There is an English saying, "It can only get worse." And so it does. When you have a spoiled child, accustomed to get away with murder, you can't change its bad behavior simply by threatening, when it already experienced that it does not have to fear any/hardly any sanctions and its so-called friends will always find excuses for its atrocities. Pinocchio Netanyahu's flexible truth is an insult for intelligent folks. If there is no famine in Gaza, why do children and adults die of starvation every day, presently in total 322, including more than 112 children? Why are they so skinny, just bones and skin, reminding of photos seen in the past of Jews in German concentration camps..... Several ministers of the present far-right Israelian government openly stated that they don't want Palestinians to receive any aid, no food, no water, no medication. Delivery via helicopter has only an alibi function, it's expensive, like a drop of water on a hot stone, and in addition dangerous, death by falling palets from air drops. Some persons already died while running for a bit of food to feed their families, and this while lorries with lots of food are viciously blocked from entering Gaza, large quantities of food is meanwhile rotting. In the past the Israelian army stopped radical settlers, now it actively supports their war crimes, theft, destruction and uprooting several thousands of old, strong Bedouine's olive trees, burning others, often including farms and also killings. Several Palestinians, even those with double nationality, have been beaten to death by fanatic, evil settlers. What kind of state does Netanyahu want, a Pariah state? He once said he intends to make the world a secure place for all Jews. No man before him did so much damage to the Israelian soul and folks with a Jewish religion. Does he and his government really believe they are the choosen people? Which God loves those who do evil, murder innocent children and adults (more than 63,000, mainly women and children)? 156,573 are wounded, 10,000 are missing, numbers raising. If God promised the land to "his choosen people" , why did he also create there Palestinians and Arabs (less loved and less valuable people) ? Amnesty International called Israeli siege of Gaza "collective punishment and war crime" - but listening to human rights organisations seems to be out of fashion nowadays, respecively, condemnation by Western heads of state remains a powerless lipservice. It is so depressing. A leaked military report, based on internal Israeli intelligence database, indicates that only 17 % of those killed in Gaza were actually fighters. Perhaps not surprising, several soldiers committed suicide. It is just one of those effects especially brutal war can have on involved army members (e. g. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) . Melania Trump wrote to President Pution on account of the large number of Ukrainian children that were taken away from their families and brought to Russia to be raised there to forget their culture and country of original, when they grow older forced to join the Russian army and fight against Ukrainian people. Trump declared Putin was very moved by Mrs Trump's letter, as a mother she has a deep feeling for those poor children torn away from their parents. Sounds impressive, but I wonder whether the good lady and her husband, the great dealer, are aware of the undescribable suffering of  innocent Palestinian children, too many severely injured, without hope, those who lost a limb, one or even both parents, their brothers and sisters, other relatives, are undernourished, not even save in hospitals. Does civilization enable us to feel empathy for some people but not for others? Selective empathy? The last two, correction, according to BBC Verif actually 4 strikes on the Gaza Nasser hospital, leaving 20 dead, including doctors, medical staff, 5 journalists (Reuters, Aljazeera, etc) and of course patients, Netanyahu is not ashamed to blame it on a  "terrible mishap." 

They will "investigate" and allow journalists embedded in the Israelian army..... Lord have mercy. The ICC in Den Haag declared that all member states are obligated to refrain from providing assistance to Israel in maintaining the occupation. Israelians with dual nationality living abroad are not exempt from national service, 18 to 36 months. The ICC warned that they may be held accountable for complicity in genocide. By the way, Begium and Germany (governments, not necessarily identical what the majority of their citizens wants) said that they don't support a Palestinian state. Shouldn't at least Germany understand that without Hitler and his evil Nazis Israel would be a different state and Germany has a responsility not just towards Israel but also towards the Palestinians, their suffering in Gaza, the Westbank etc. as  well. Germany ought to know the meaning of a genocide and "self-defence" is by international standards the right of those occupied not the occupiers. Mr Trump decided to refuse a Visa for the Palestinian president Abbas and other Palestinians to attend the General United Nations Assembly in New York. In view of Mr. Trump's determination "to rule the world" and ignore international laws and regulations, it is high time to choose a democatic state as host nation for such assemblies.
