 The atrocious pictures collected by Sabbah have been removed from the web. We will not remove this one, which was part of the series, and which shows that the butchers of Gaza are the real antisemites. |

The Palestine Center for Human Rights reported that Israeli occupation forces in 3 weeks in Gaza killed 1,434 Palestinians: 235 resistance fighters, 239 police, 960 civilians (over 1/3rd children). Also it injured thousands (many with permanent disabilities). These and, of course, the enormous destruction wreaked upon the densely populated city must be added to the ever-increasing Nakba-Holocaust suffering, treated in the book , the American State of Canaan. More Palestinians were killed and maimed in a few days of the Gaza splurge than Israelis by Palestinians in the entire 60-year history of Israel.
This would not happen in the State of Canaan. We might well stay ahead in the dreadful calculations, by habitually adding onto the Holocaust figures estimates of all Jews killed and injured, expelled, and materially deprived in gentile persecutions of the last 2000 years. Such statistics gone mad, indeed, are drilled into the minds of many Jews, all the more so Israelis, for whom mangling history is a diurnal tool of government and obstruct the recognition of suffering of which they are perpetrators, and not victims.
Actually, we might as well do the similar calculation, rough as it would be, for each and every culture or nation that has ever existed. Gone are the nations of the Cimbri and Teutons that Marius the Roman annihilated in short order. Where are the millions of the City of Rome who disappeared in the plagues, barbarian invasions, breakdown of aqueducts, and civil wars; only a beggarly few thousands passed muster in the deep Middle Age. Gone are thousands of distinct cultures, tribes, and nations of the Americas. The last Tasmanian died not long ago; his people had been hunted down like rats by Britons. Frightfully decimated were the Armenians of the Twentieth Century; their persecutors were Turks; the descendants of the same Turks, unlike the Descendants of the German Nazis, so far have refused even an apology, much less any restitution such as the Germans have sought to provide. Half of the Jews of the world carried on after the worst of the Holocaust. Safest, then, were those who lived among the Muslims. Including in Palestine.
