Gaza and Syria: true crimes and alleged crimes
While the Trump administration seeks pretexts to attack the legitimate Syrian government, the USA in particular and the West in general turn a blind eye to the crimes of those who give 70 occupied the Holy Land for years.
Gaza: B’tselem’s harsh j’accus
Israel's leadership is gradually admitting a basic question of life and death: Israel's permanent control over millions of Palestinians is impossible without committing war crimes. This is the profound meaning of dominion over another people: it is not “simply” a question of robbing him of his land, to impose a regime made up of masters and subordinates, to deny political rights, or to unfold an endless labyrinth of oppressive bureaucratic rules. It's also a problem of repeated killings.
When the leader of Bayit Yehudi, Naphtali Bennett, in the summer of 2014, when hundreds of Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip by Israeli "surgical" bombs, declared in an interview with CNN that “Hamas is committing mass self-genocide”, thus arguing the actual implications of policies based on the use of military force by Israel. He attempted to make the crime acceptable by blaming the victim, but his recognition of the dimensions of the massacre – and even more so its profound meaning – reflected an internalization of reality.
