OpEd: Israels Licence To Kill: The Nazi Holocaust!?! As I perused through Uganda's history, I found some interesting documentation about the Israeli hostage rescue in Entebbe, Uganda on 4th of July, 1974. A daring operation that ended with 5 Israelis dead. Most notable casualty? Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, the senior officer on the ground during the rescue operation. The hostages had been brought to Uganda by Palestinian hijackers who had commandeered an Air France plane. But I did get a surprising glimpse at the elation and welcome that Israelis gave their troops as they brought home the now freed hostages. The late Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, who is also the elder brother to current Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, is regarded as a hero in Israel. To them, he embodies a courage and determination that many Israelis complain has since disappeared in their army. They say he gave them victory over evil!?! Having grown watching the Middle East conflict continuously unfold like most people, I ask myself, how will the conflict ever be resolved if the lines have been drawn in such terms and on both sides? Palestinians will disagree with being called evil and increasing numbers of nations around the world today look differently at Israel. They seem determined to possess Palestinian land through their settlement policy regardless of the suffering generated, and therefore the desperate acts of retaliation like the Entebbe hijacking, isn't it? The growing intensity of the conflict as thousands upon thousands of Palestinian children die miserably from Israeli guns, missiles and bombs. Many suggest that Israel has been able to continue "acts of barbarism with impunity" because the west is reluctant to act. European countries are paralyzed by a political sympathy that finds it roots in Nazism during World War II when Jews where exterminated under Hitlers "Final Solution". Western sympathy for those events is now Israels unwritten license to kill. Another possible factor is that many Christians consider themselves inferior to Jews. Do Christians regard Jews as closer to deity than themselves? Many do and will cite the scriptures to confirm their inferiority to "the chosen ones". The Christian subconscious therefore finds it difficult to reprimand a Jew even when he is clearly in the wrong. Israelis though, might be inclined to take advantage of the situation by pushing the limits that might have already been surpassed in earnest today. Because they now need to engage international public opinion more robustly through a heavy media presence. They also lobby US Congressmen and scholars in world capitals in order to deflect blame and explain the overwhelming force they use when Israel wages war. If that's what is required for Israel to continue destruction, hasn't Israel therefore abused the sympathy capital afforded to them by the west for suffering under the Nazis? Honestly, their explanations for the death and destruction they cause sound increasingly disingenuous. Particularly with the large numbers of civilian casualties and the grim pictures of unarmed women and kids blown to pieces by American bestowed high-tech weapons. The growing xenophobia against non-Jews inside Israel has also reached alarming levels with persecuted African asylum seekers bearing the brunt of unjust deportations, Arab-Israelis seeing their freedoms curtailed and Ethiopian Jews treated as third class citizens after Eastern European Jews, and Western European Jews who reign supreme in Israel. These last Jewish immigrants (the Ethiopians) are reportedly highly discriminated against by white European Jews who even segregate their habitat inside Israel by sending them to populate all new settlements. It used to be Russian Jews and those from Eastern Europe during the cold war days. But today Ethiopians are the human shields for the Western Jews enjoying the capital Tel- Aviv and the other big cities? Yet we keep getting news about Ethiopians being subjected to sterilization without their knowledge so that their ethnicity is in check compared to the desired predominantly white Israel that European Jews want to maintain. White Jewish supremacists who literally hold all political, social, economic and military cards, have literally enshrined their racial dominance in the Israeli Constitution by making it a government duty to "maintain the countries Jewishness". This means officials decide who can or cannot be in Israel based on an unclear criteria. Any individual not Jewish enough can summarily be refused entry. But surprisingly Europeans will always have the doors open in Israel. Not because of their religion or country, but possibly because they just look like white Jews. So for the supreme Jew, everyone is either a human stepping stone for white Jewishness or expelled like the African refugees/migrants, or dead like the Arabs Israel kills.
