This article just highlights and supports the view that The State of Israel, as it stands today, is a racist, terrorist state. It is debasing to the memory and legacy of the Holocaust victims that this State which was established as " a Jewish Homeland" is practicing the same attrocities committed against them (actually even worse).
Israel commits acts that would be decried in the loudest terms if they were performed by any other state or group. The *Berlin wall* was denounced by the West as concrete evidence of Communist oppression in Germany. *Apartheid * in South Africa was universally decried as unjust and inhumane. *Ethnic cleansing* in Bosnia and Herzegovina caused the West to go to war against Serbia. *Starvation and disease* in Africa is being addressed by a multitude of programs and international bodies. The world denounced Saddam Hussein for using *chemical weapons* against the Kurds. *Human rights abuses* in various countries have been the source of selective righteous indignation by Western countries. *Well, sadly, Israel practices all of the above*. Furthermore, the only nations known in the history of mankind to deliberately target *children* for *killing* were Pharoah's and the State of Israel (for confirmation just google "israel military children"). The State of Israel must be eliminated and replaced with a truly democratic state with equal representation and distribution of resources AFTER the Palestinian refugees are allowed to return to their lands and all stolen lands are returned to their rightful owners. That is all the Palestinians are asking for (even Hamas). Why is that so difficult to accept? That is the only way Peace will be achieved in the Middle East.
