Or do you think Israel attacks Gaza and kills Gazans because the likudniks and zealots plan on giving up West Bank Israeil settlements? IDF attacked Gaza and kills Gazan innocents and children because Israeli likudniks and zealots are confused over/about how getting rid of Hamas or making Gaza more of a hellhole prison cage then it already was/is is not about Israeli West Bank settlement colonization?

What then do you think Israelis attacked Gaza over or for? Live target practice and aerial bombing targeting contests?

Perhaps this is the kernel of reasoning that brings WashingtonDC to permit and promote Israeli expansionism being WashingtonDC has a long history of doing this very same thing.Westward expansion of United States premised on repeated treaty making,breaking,pushing off Native Americans or killing them off to gain the next piece of “open territory” for exploitation,land and resource grabs and imposed white man settlement.

Israeli conduct in Gaza again more akin to U.S.Army documented conduct of 19th century towards Native Indians.

It is not in error to conclude Israeli zealots were glad to see U.S.armed forces move into Iraq and put Iraqis into full tailspin of sectarian and political mayhem.

It is not in error to conclude Israeli zealots would be very pleased to see American armed forces move into Iran and cause Iranian society and economy to be blown apart.

Israel has become something very 17th thru 19th century colonial like in inclination,goals,conduct and expectations. What IDF/IAF did in Gaza and to innocent Gazans under the paper thin guise of going after Hamas is much more about expunging Gazans to create favorable colonialization conditions then is being admitted to or talked about.

More and more it is becoming dubious to think WashingtonDC is going to stop Israel from being what Israel has become.

Israel is headed towards some kind of mutated South Africa styled status that will prove not sustainable. Even South Africa then not having the clash of relgion factors found in Palestine,Israel and Jerusalem.

There will be more bloodshed.In killing Gazan families,children and white flag showing civilians Israel has now shown us who the real monster is.

For Israel to win Israel becomes such a human rights abusing monster the win becomes pyrrhic and tragic.

Like so much of historic colonialism outcome.Tibet being the other post WW2 example of this scale of colonialism conduct found in 20th century. These are not happy beginning or ending stories.

As Glen Greenwald has pointed out, what should, and must, horrify us is the fact that our country is supporting and funding these conflicts. Our government has inserted itself into one side of, what is now becoming, a religious war. A war which will inevitably lead to genocide.

And I walked out towards the dunes and they were–the–over the loudspeaker from an Israeli army Jeep on the other side of the electric fence they were taunting these kids. And these kids started to throw rocks. And most of these kids were 10, 11, 12 years old. And, first of all, the rocks were the size of a fist. They were being hurled towards a Jeep that was armor-plated. I doubt they could even hit the Jeep. And then I watched the soldiers open fire. And it was–I mean, I’ve seen kids shot in Sarajevo. I mean, snipers would shoot kids in Sarajevo. I’ve seen death squads kill families in Algeria or El Salvador. But I’d never seen soldiers bait or taunt kids like this and then shoot them for sport. It was–I just–even now, I find it almost inconceivable. And I went back every day, and every day it was the same.

Hedges published a shocking article, “A Gaza Diary,” in the October 2001 issue of Harpers, which is reprinted here: http://www.bintjbeil.com/artic…..edges.html

And, as a means of ethnic cleansing, terror works, e.g., per the Wikipedia:

The Black Line was an event that occurred in 1830 in Tasmania, or Van Diemen’s Land as it was then known. After many years of conflict between British colonists and the Aborigines known as the Black War, Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur called upon every able-bodied male colonist, convict or free, to form a human chain that then swept across the settled districts, moving south and east for several weeks in an attempt to corral the Aborigines on the Tasman Peninsula […]

[It is] generally accepted that the incident shook the Aboriginal population so much that they were willing to accept the mediation of George Augustus Robinson and allow themselves to be removed to the Flinders Island settlement, where the population dwindled until repatriation to Tasmania in 1847. Marginalizing them to Flinders Island did what the Black Line failed to do – ethnically cleanse the local Aboriginal population. As a direct result, of all the Australian regions, Tasmania has very few aborigines or preserved native culture of note.

The soldier testified that the “clear” message of literature distributed to troops by the rabbinate was: “We are the Jewish people, we came to this land by a miracle, God brought us back to this land and now we need to fight to expel the Gentiles who are interfering with our conquest of this holy land.” “

The IDF is incapable of investigating the crimes of its soldiers and commanders, and it is ridiculous to expect it to do so. These are not instances of “errant fire,” but of deliberate fire resulting from an order. These are not “a few bad apples,” but rather the spirit of the commander, and this spirit has been bad and corrupt for quite some time. “

One of the main themes in news reports during the Gaza operation, and which appears in many testimonies, is that IDF soldiers shot at Palestinian and Red Cross rescuers, making it impossible to evacuate the wounded and dead. As a result, an unknown number of Palestinians bled to death as others cowered in their homes for days without medical treatment, waiting to be rescued. “
