The world has been brain-washed for many decades to believe that the “tiny State of Israel” is fighting for its survival in a “sea of terrorists and enemies.” The world has been led to believe that Israel is the “only democracy” in a “jungle of dictatorships” and that whatever Israel does is civilized self-defense while any self-defense action from the other side is terrorism. Lately, the final weeks of a completely discredited US administration offered an irresistible opportunity for Israel to indulge in a killing spree with perceived impunity. The Israelis never anticipated that this indulgence would expose the true nature of their apartheid and oppressive state. They tried hard to block the world from seeing the carnage inflicted purposefully on the civilian population in Gaza. However, the world finally had chance to see some real terrorist action when rural areas were carpet bombed with illegal weapons, UN shelters were turned into blood pools, complete villages were erased and olive trees were uprooted. The war on Gaza showed the world a state whose leaders compete for votes by showing more inhumanity and ruthlessness. No gains can be gleaned for the State of Israel from this killing spree except perhaps that they have succeeded in inflicting unforgettable pain and misery on a defenseless population which can only increase the likelihood of a continuing conflict. On-going conflict and breeding extremists are clear goals of Israel’s war on Gaza and these goals have apparently been achieved. Our hope is that the other side does not use Israel’s terrorism as an excuse to engage in terrorism. The cycle of terror must be broken and there is no better window to break this cycle than when the side at receiving end of terror chooses not to respond in kind. It is only then that the identity of the real terrorists becomes clear and the Israeli propaganda machine runs out of fuel.
