Unjust War
How could victims of Holocaust recede to the logic of stone age?
Look again at Netanyahu's map, no trace of Palestine! Listen to his rage against the new Amalek, the rhetoric of extermination, the new King Saul commanded to wipe them away from the face of the earth.
In the stone age you could kill a whole village with one blow, and brag about it.
To kill without mercy and accountability was the barbarian's code of ethics;
collateral damage was a misnomer.
Is it far-fetched to make the comparison, when all vestiges of humanity's gone,
and brutal revenge exacts such horrific results?
Israel has now robbed itself of the moral badge, that's the naked truth.
It might succeed in Gaza, but will lose the world.
