The Israeli leadership has made thousands of genocidal statements. Netanyahu, his Ministers, and Rabbis have all stood in line to publicly declare Palestinians should be wiped off the face of the earth, and their children killed like rats. We have heard it all before and fought a world war against exactly that mindset that’s become Israel’s State policy. We didn’t advocate the killing of all Germans in an act of revenge neither did the Jews. Even the one-time survivors of the holocaust didn’t advocate genocide. But now some Israeli judeo-zionists have adopted the same mindset their parents and grandparents along with the rest of the world once fought against.
- “Hamas became ISIS and the citizens of Gaza are celebrating instead of being horrified. Human beasts are dealt with accordingly. Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza: no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell—you will get hell” (Coordinator of Government in the Territories Major General Ghassan Alian, “speaking to Hamas and the residents of Gaza”, 10 October)
- “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” (IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari, 10 October)
- “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents. There will be no buildings” (Israeli defence official, 10 October)
- “Israel has no choice but to render Gaza into a place that is temporarily, or permanently, unfit for living” (Advisor to Defence Minister Gallant, former Head of the National Security Council and former IDF operations chief Giora Eiland, 11 October)
- “Israel needs to create a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, compelling tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to seek refuge in Egypt or the Gulf … The entire population of Gaza will either move to Egypt or move to the Gulf” (Advisor to Defence Minister Gallant, former Head of the National Security Council and former IDF operations chief Giora Eiland, 13 October)
