Richard Alonzo on Israel/Palestine tragedy

As an atheist I have no religious axe to grind and am I sure would be equally hated by the extremists on both side of the divide be they Zionists or Muslims., But I speak as someone who's father served in the British forces extensively in the Middle East and fought the Nazis for six long bloody years in the 2nd World War.

Your hate filled invective allegedly by an Israeli woman tells us why their will never be justice or peace in the Middle East...

It oozes contempt for the principles my father fought for in the 2WW as enshrined in the UN universal declaration of Human Rights and seeks to poor scorn and contempt on those who would defend those rights...

You are telling us that you are ignorant?

No I am fully aware of the origins of the state of Israel, of the terrorist acts of the Irgun and Stern Gangs, the bombing of the King David Hotel, the kidnapping and hanging of British soldiers with piano wire, the fact that in the two and a half years from 1945 to June 1947, British law enforcement forces lost 103 dead, and sustained 391 wounded from Jewish militants. Eventually forcing the British to withdraw for administering the mandate and UN Resolution 181 recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition.

I see no evidence of British forces at the time killing large numbers of innocent women and children in the communities allegedly sheltering the Irgun and Stern Gangs.

I am also aware that this lead to the 1947-48 civil war where both sides (Arabs  & Jews) had considerable blood on their hands averaging between them over 100 deaths and 200 injuries per week. We can of course reel off the tit-for-tat massacres until we are blue in the face, (Deir Yassin, Hadassah medical convoy, etc.) but that will bring the region no closer to peace.

You are telling us you don’t really care about Palestinians or their children?

If you have compelling evidence of Hamas using Human shields bring it the international community, simply saying it does not make it true any more that the accusation that the IDF have taken over people homes and use them as a base of operations while locking them in another room (effectively making them human shields) with out evidence to prove it. Perhasp you can also produce evidence to show how many Hamas fighters were sheltering in the UN buildings the IDF hit? 

You are telling us that you are in favor of genocide?

'If your not for us you're against us' The age old battle cry of the tyrant. 
A classic piece of propaganda, portraying you simultaneously as the victim yet morally superior to everyone else who by showing the slightest concern for the value of a human life other than your own is branded a Nazi.  

You are telling us that you are a racist and a hater.

No, actually I'm telling you that human rights, such as the right to life, are inalienable, universal and applicable to all in all circumstances irrespective of if they are a Jew, Palestinian, Pagan or Atheist. I expect anyone who violates the rights of another individual or who commits war crimes irrespective of their background or cause to face the full force of the law.

You are telling us you are ill-informed, uneducated and/or too stupid or too lazy to read history books?

 See my reply to you are ignorant.

But most of all, you are showing God who you are and the evil that is in your heart?

I'm afraid as an atheist your threats of divine retribution do not move me, however your final line of hate filled invective really says it all.

'Every people who hated Jews eventually became extinct. The Jews survived.'

Which perhaps tells us all we need to know about the latest incursion into Gaza?

Rest assured however nothing will change in your lifetime, the western powers will continue to support Israel until it is no longer in their strategic interests to do so...
