Why Are We Not Protecting Palestinians?

This is a televised Holocaust and it is not Judaism, it is a crime

Note: Recently I have avoided writing about Gaza, in part because it is so polarizing, as evidenced this week by the flamethrower attack on a demonstration of support for Israeli hostages in Boulder, CO. But the news has become so awful on a daily basis that it pushed me over the edge. But I need to be clear: I am not anti-Semitic, I am anti-Netanyahu.

If you watch as much news as I do, you know that what Netanyahu is doing in Gaza is a war crime. To be clear, this is not about Jewish beliefs or preferences, this is a dictator doing what his hardcore supporters want to protect himself. But it is more than that.

Every time there is a slaughter in Gaza, which is now a daily event, there are claims made of targets being Hamas but there is never any proof or any intelligence that justifies these killings. It is not anti-Semitic to question this, it is human. During the Holocaust under Hitler, American leadership was presented with a constant flow of intelligence showing what was going on in Germany.

And we did nothing. And now we are doing nothing again, but this time the acts of killing are on the news every night. They target food distribution sites in a country where everyone in literally starving. And there have been targeted attacks on local journalists.
