This is @Haaretz first page in Israel today.
We Israelis, mourn the loss of every child killed in this fight. Theirs and ours. Show me another society grieving for the children of its so called enemy.
Demonizing us with apartheid, and colonial slurs is unjust and inane.
It's also cowardly and ignorant. It shows academic laziness, as well as misplaced morality. A terror organization has taken over the Gaza strip in 2006 exactly because we withdrew from it, not wishing to be colonizers in 2005.
It had thrown its palestinian rivals out of 10 story buildings. It murderd Christians Jews & Gays indiscriminately. It has since fired well over 40,000 missiles and rockets at Israeli civilians. And it doesn't even hide the fact it wishes to genocide all Jews in Israel.
When you say Israel fought Palestine you're wrong. We fought the terror organization Hamas. When you say we're apartheid you are wrong. Israeli Muslims are politicians, judges, police and military officers, lawyers and doctors. And let me surprise you...
When you say we're colonial settlers you are wrong, as not one settlement remains in Gaza and if a peace accord was ever sought by the Palestinians, they would find us willing to make great compromise, such as we did when giving the entire Sinai peninsula to Egypt for peace.
If you found yourself saying he's wrong on some of this, it's propaganda or "hasbara" - check me and my facts. Read. Educate yourself. Outside of the hyperbolic Hamas talking points chanted relentlessly last weeks there still remain fact and truth.
