if he could see the contemporary actions of the israeli state, i am in little doubt that hitler would be full of admiration for the ethnic cleansing and land and resource seizures that are being carried out.
the shame that those in power in israel are using the holocaust as an excuse to further perpetuate the cycle of violence is hard for me to bear.
i had members of my family die at the hands of the nazis, i am sad that we as a species have not learned from that awful episode.... instead we carry on the same patterns.
yes its true that there were palestine terrorist bombings but can you blame them.... against overwhelming force what else were they to do.
these attacks hardly dented israel, in fact they probably served mainly to reinforce the israeli position, giving them more of an excuse to continue their holocaust.
it is absurd to steal a nation violently and not expect people who were already there to try to fight back, even with the odds stacked against them.
the awful acts of terror perpetrated by palestinians pales into insignificance when compared to the hitler-esque actions of the israeli nuclear state.
i hope that there are no more bombings, i am sad when i hear of a wasted life of somebody driven to such desperation as to want to blow themselves and others up, it is truly a tragedy.
there is no way on earth that palestine can win a fight with israel, with its nuclear arsenal and american jets.
but the conversation and debate is another matter.
as long as israel can hide cowardly behind these relatively insignificant terrorist atrocities and continue to dishonor the memory of those jews and others killed during the nazi holocaust, then open debate will continue to be avoided.
open debate and fair discussion is the last thing israel wants, they know that no amount of plutonium will help them win that battle.
illegal israeli settlement continues to spread like cancer through what little remains of palestine.
zionists from the bronx carrying machine guns constantly harass and attack unarmed palestinians.
If a palestinian was caught carrying such weaponry in his or her own homeland, they would disappear without trace into one of israels dungeons.
so please don't bore me any more with lists of terrorist bombings..... i would be much more interested in such a list if it also detailed israeli atrocities, and i am certain that would be much, much longer.
let us hope that one day this absurd cycle of violence and revenge can be broken, breaking the cycle will be the hardest battle of all, and it will take the bravest among us to do it.....

Finkelstein explains:

"If you have problems with your neighbour
you have the right to build a fence
to separate your property from your neighbours property
but however hostile your neighbour might be
your neighbour might be nasty
and throws garbage into your side of the property
but even if your neighbour throws garbage on your side
you do not have the right to build a wall around your neighbours swimming pool
that's pretty straight forward
these are not complicated questions
let alone around your neighbours living room."

While I agree with Finkelstein's opposition to the Apartheid Wall
that it's function is to annexe West Bank territory to Israel
and that is it illegal under international law
We should not set as our moral position
what is defined by governments.
People have rights
be they unrealised, theoretical and utopian
but States do not.
