I finished up my loaf of bread at a space of three days, that is to say on Sunday so I had to wait till the next Saturday for new one. I was terribly hungry…. I was lying on Monday morning quite dejectedly in my bed and there was the half of a loaf of bread of my darling sister…. I could not resist the temptation and ate it up totally—which at present is a terrible crime—I was overcome by terrible remorse of conscience and by a still greater care for what my little one would eat for the next five days. I felt a miserably helpless criminal…. I suffer terribly by feigning that I don’t know where the bread has gone and I have to tell people that it was stolen by a supposed reckless and pitiless thief and, for keeping up appearance, I have to utter curses and condemnations on the imaginary thief: “I would hang him with my own hands had I come across him.”1– diary entry, May 5, 1944
Above: Humans under tremendous mortal threat do not act like saints or self-sacrificing martyrs
Seven women had been digging potatoes in a field. There was no flour in their district, and they were desperate for food. Suddenly two German planes appeared from nowhere and dropped two bombs only two hundred yards away on a small home. Two women in the house were killed. The potato diggers dropped flat upon the ground hoping to be unnoticed. After the bombers had gone, the women returned to their work. They had to have food. But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire.18

Once, when my father was still alive, he came home from the synagogue and said, “There is a man dying on a bench.” He asked my mother to give me a bowl of soup and send me to feed the dying man. This bowl of soup was the children’s soup. I went to the synagogue. The man was really dying. I tried to feed him, holding his head with one hand and feeding him with the other. He swallowed slowly but he swallowed, he was very hungry. The next day he died. I was the last person to see him. He told me that he came from Warsaw, he had a family and was very wealthy, and if I could rescue him he would give me everything he had. And he died. When I came home my parents said to me, “You did a big mitzvah.” From a Jewish religious point of view, maybe I did what I had to do, but believe me I was jealous of every spoonful I fed him, as I wanted to eat it myself. I was very hungry. At this moment I saw the Angel of Death in front of my eyes.114
Above: The lesson which was forgotten or intentionally unlearned by too many modern Israelis is in the above quote.

All quotes from:


I was reading this book about the Warsaw, Krakow and Łódź (Woodge) Ghettos and the descriptions of suffering and cruelty could apply to the early 1940'a as easily as the mid 2020's.

The parallels between the plight of Jews in the Warsaw, Łódź (Woodge) and Krakow Ghettos in Poland in 1944 and the Palestinians in Gaza is heartbreaking. Some of the descendants of the victims of old have become the perpetrators of similar crimes today in all except scale.


Cindy McCain has announced that the World Food Program - the largest distributor of humanitarian food in Gaza has run out of stored food in Gaza and cannot get in any more due to the State of Israel's blockade of Gaza. She expects wide spread famine especially in Northern Gaza but also throughout the besieged territory. Meanwhile Israeli air and artillery strikes are hitting desperate women and children foraging for food and wood or lining up at food distribution points before the humanitarian organisation's food runs out completely. What is happening in Gaza is pure evil and now, more than a year after the heinous terrorist attacks by Palestinian militants, the preponderance of that pure evil is being done by agents of the State of Israel under the direction of the Netanyahu Government. How the wheel has turned.

Palestinian civilians are human beings today just as Jews were and still are human beings today. The killing of either peoples in a systematic way is genocide either way. Stop turning away. Stop applying double standards. Stop embracing the politics of ethnic hate and the crimes which flow out of that hate.

Be well, be wise and be ethical.

SNOWFALKE:

Have you not been reading or listening to the Netanyahu-led Israeli Government or the US President. Gaza is to be ethnically cleansed in part or full. There is no incentive for Hamas to do any release (even though I believe it's the right thing to do too) especially since the Netanyahu government has repeatedly broken its agreed to obligations in previous ceasefire agreements with Gaza militants and the Lebanese Government and Hezbollah to the north. The powerbrokers of much of the world are blind and deaf to the suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza, Syria, Africa (Sudan is far worse than even Gaza right now as is Congo) and parts of Latin America and Asia. This indifference means no outside state is going to stop the State of Israel, even if all the hostages are released if still alive or their dead bodies returned to Israeli authorities if they have died. The prey of the past have become the predator of today and too many new predators are intoxicated by the power they feel now. In becoming predators they are forsaking some of their Judaism and that is an historic tragedy in my opinion.

Be well and be safe.

Clear genocide, given that the children who would form the future will be the ones who are dying along with their mothers and fathers. The Stalin starvation genocide of Ukranians comes to immediate mind.

Sarcasim or if serious is there any chance you could elaborate on that assertion, because in my book war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are never okay, no matter who does them or the reasons they do it for.

If engaging in war criminality/terrorism is the criteria for being disarmed and/or releasing hostages you are illegally holding, then the same can be said of the Israeli state.

You support the disarming of Israel and the forcing of it to give up the thousands of hostages it is holding?

Of course you don't because you are looking at this through the western bias you have been indoctrinated with.

This how the dependents justify the current slaughter.
What is to elaborate?

The people who were murdered during the Holocaust obviously have no say in what their suffering is used to justify.

My view is that if they were ever able to see what is going on in Gaza now and what has gone on there since 1967 and see how what happened to them is being used to silence criticism of it , they would be totally gutted.

Give it a rest. I am born of German parents. Remember Dresden? Remember Hiroshima? I am 100% in sympathy with the Palestinian people. BUT if they can't reject Hamas, like my parent's generation couldn't reject Hitler, then......... as the saying goes.............. you reap what you sow.
I just recently finished a book about the struggles in South Africa. Now imagine if the blacks had attacked and killed 1200 whites, including rape and then kidnapped a couple of hundred more whites, which side do YOU believe the world would be on? Exactly!
You gain support by not doing what Hamas did, you lose it by doing what Hamas did. Deal with it already, YOU are on the wrong side of history. Now if the Palestinian people finally rid themselves of Hamas, THEN the world would be on YOUR side. But you are too ignorant to see that.

SNOWFLAKE:

Like the Battle of Isandlwana in where 1300 hundred of 1800 British Empire troops and some Native auxiliaries occupying the land beyond the Buffalo River and were killed and more captured during the First Anglo-Zulu War IIRC? The Zulu forces were not recognised as a legitimate armed forces by the Brits and were assumed to be ineffective until after commanding General Lord Chelmford got his troops slaughtered at Isandlwana. History may not repeat itself but it sure seems to rhyme and echo, eh wot?

Be well and be safe.

Those were troops slaughtered, not people attending a music festival or just going about their daily lives.

^^^^ What a stupid and needlessly rambling post

I don't even think you understood the post of mine that this sorry sack of shit is supposed to be a response to.

It's even hard to know where to start with such dross.

Everything Hamas and others did on 7th October, Israel has been doing on a infinitely worse scale even before the 7th attack on Israel and yet the West has supported them at every turn.

So your thesis is built on nothing but hot air.

Since the 7th October support for the Palestinian cause has never been so open , so determined and so widespread where as support for Israel has gone down the shitter, big time. That you seem oblivious to it shows how serious your ignorant commentary should be taken.

You fall for the same shit every indoctrinated westerner falls for, the idea that if the West is against it, then the entire world must be against it.

An example

There are 193 UN acknowledged countries in the world only 35 of them even have Hamas down as a " terrorist organization"

People who have supported and still support any of the following, illegal Israeli occupation, illegal Israeli settlement, illegal Israel massacres, illegal Israeli apartheid, illegal Israeli ethnic cleansing and now illegal Israeli genocide are those who will be found to have been on the wrong side of history

Let's be honest here, as much as it may stick in your throat, you dodged the point I made and concocted a babbling, meandering response to try to hide the fact

So, I will make it again and see if you actually have the gonads to address it properly............

"

You're wasting your time talking with people who think that one side has no right to defend itself against the other purely because it's stronger, although that weaker side is led by terrorists who want to murder, rape and kidnapp every single person from the other side while the stronger side just wants its hostages back and the terrorist threat gone.

The conflict is more nuanced than what you are presenting and you know it. The Palestinians have legitimate grievances. But they need to find a way to get the world on their side and terrorism and murder is NOT the way to do it.

SNOWFLAKE:
Your post #12 did not say civilians it said whites. I was answering the question which you asked and which I bolded, not a hypothetical question which you didn't ask. Civilian deaths in the First Anglo-Zulu War were not well recorded but estimates place them between the high hundreds to the low thousands. However many of those were killed by the British Empire as it used bayonets, and fire to kill and burn homes and crops to starve Zulu civilians. Approximately 300 European civilians died during the war by violence.

You set you threshold of deaths in Israel at 1200 but on Oct. 7th. That approximate number included Israeli military, armed police and border guards all of whom performed military tasks. 815 of the dead were civilians, not 1200. An additional 245 were kidnapped but some of those were military or paramilitary police and border guards.

Be well and be safe.
