Influential Israeli national security leader makes the case for genocide in Gaza
JVL Introduction
The gloves are off.
Israeli leaders talk openly about what they want to achieve in this war on Gaza and many genocidal sentiments have been openly expressed.
But often these are relatively throw-away polemical remarks (which is not to say they shouldn’t be treated with the utmost seriousness).
Israeli ret. Major General Giora Eiland has been minded to spell out his genocidal views in some detail, as Jonathan Ofir discusses in the article below.
Here is a taster:
“The international community warns us of a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and of severe epidemics. We must not shy away from this, as difficult as that may be. After all, severe epidemics in the south of the Gaza Strip will bring victory closer and reduce casualties among IDF soldiers.”

Was he taking advice from Stuart Seldowitz ?
After reading that i hold very little hope of salvation for the citizens of Gaza.To die quickly or agonisingly seems theire option.The world must somehow step in and stop this genocide.
The unbelievable cruelty of the Israeli government, its immeasurable stupidity, and its determination to push ahead with its genocidal policies regardless of all political or humanitarian concerns, gives us no hope that there will ever be a solution to this that does not require wholesale changes to the way Israel’s allies behave towards Israel. The Israeli people are helpless in this, bound by the increasing oppressions of their own govermnent and by their own general attitudes towards Palestine. Which all means there is no hope at all, since Israel’s allies all seem to think that Israel’s rampaging can be stopped with a scolding and a wagged finger.
What is to be done? I can’t see it myself. I hope I’m missing something.
As you read through it, the writer is talking as if the 2 Countries are Armed equally, when if fact, the difference is massive. Israel has a fully trained and armed Army, it has a Navy and Airforce with every modern HiTec weapon. Hamas has riffles and rockets that have no accuracy and very little explosive power.
Israel knows these facts, if they were wrong, Israel would also be suffering from missile attacks from HiTec Drones etc. But it isn’t, so Israel has nothing to lose and unless the US changes its support for Israel, Genocide will continue.
