And sure enough, it is about time that such protests happened in Jerusalem because Netanyahu has got it all wrong! Look at what he says here:
“To those who criticise Israel, I ask, what would you do if terrorists murdered and kidnapped your children?” he said on Tuesday night.
“You would do what we are doing.
“In the face of pure evil, free societies have no choice but to fight.”
Actually, this is an utterly ludicrous justification of war because no one from the so-called ‘other side’ of the Israeli seperatist political fence bombed a major so-called ‘Israeli’ city with airstrikes. Yes, there were gunmen who went on a vigilante-style shooting spree but such henious crimes would, in a democratic society, normatively be treated as criminal cases to be tried under the auspices of legislative jurisdiction that guides the criminal legal-code of the land, and therefore trial by jury in a court of criminal law would have been the best and most laudible way of dealing with such violence. But things don’t work so democratically with megalomaniacs like Benjamin Netanyahu. War speaks louder than either sense or the wisdom of peace, democracy, and legitimate law & order. And that is why these protesters have at last taken the right stand. They have come out rather late in the piece but better late than never as the saying goes.
I am in complete and utter agreement with the stand they have taken against the corrupt & unruly dictatorship of the Netanyahu administration. For this man speaks not of peace but of continuing to vent senseless violence and carnage upon those who have no interest in waging a war.
The so-called civilian ‘collateral’ is unthinkable and is none other than an equivalent to Nazi-style war-crimes, due to the fact that proper democratic process of apprehending the criminal suspects responsible for the October 7th shooting spree & hostage-taking had not been even considered by the Israeli government, although such a due-process would have been the most legitimately effective route to take, in responding to these crimes. Further, had it been considered in the first place and then thoroughly acted upon, there would not have even been a war.
