Israel's Revenge War

Defense Minister Izzy Katz and National Security chief Itty Ben Gvir have turbocharged the state's intent and fervent desire to exterminate the Palestinian population. Katz stated that Israel is raring to go with the "only solution" to the Palestinian question, the "migration by any means necessary" of all Palestinians from Gaza, and is "only awaiting President Trump's approval". The U.S. State Department swiftly denounced the idea. Forced migration of a population is a war crime and one of the buffet of elements to choose from when making genocide, of which Israel seems intent on hitting for the cycle, batting .400 Ted Williams style and hitting 714 home runs, making them a lock for the Genocide Hall of Fame. Genocide is a crime against humanity.

Separately, Itty visited a detention center for Palestinian women ostensibly to hear their complaints about unsanitary, unhealthy conditions in the facility, really to tell the women prisoners that he heartily approved of the "minimum of minimum" necessities provided them. "You kidnapped our children," Itty justified. Mistreatment, maltreatment, or intentional deprivation of prisoners of war is a war crime.

Revenge war is a war crime.

Finally, U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has for the second time in a month, accurately labeled West Bank settlers who are continually attacking Palestinians, detaining American elected officials, attacking American news organizations' vehicles and persons, and destroying Palestinian homes and mosques, as "terrorists". Wrote one of the Israeli terrorists on a wall of a damaged mosque "Huckabee from the terrorists". "At least they admit it", said the ambassador.

The Israeli people are responsible. They perpetrate these atrocities, they have chosen repeatedly the government that ministers to their wishes.
