Israelis are begging the world to save them from themselves!
JVL Introduction
Israel seems incapable – well certainly unwilling – to end its genocidal pulverisation of the people and places of Gaza. Many Israelis are among those in despair and, as so often before, call on the International Community to make sure there is a ceasefire and that the genocide stops. Many among the growing number of signatories are longstanding activists against the occupation and they make the point not only that this must not continue but that it is not going to make even Israeli Jews secure. And they also say:
“The lack of true international pressure, the continuation of arms supplies to Israel, economic and security partnerships and scientific and cultural collaborations, bring most Israelis to believe that Israel’s policies enjoy international support. The leaders of many countries make repeated statements about the horror they feel and verbally denounce Israel’s operations, but these condemnations are not backed by practical actions. We are replete with empty words and declarations.” (My emph Ed).
If the governments of the west will not listen to their own activists, might they listen to Israelis?

Most of us, worldwide, want the ongoing genocide of the indigenous people of the land of the Christian Bible to be halted. The mighty flow of weaponry, funding and military support for the terrorist state of Israel has been chosen by hypocritical establishment politicians who are foisted on us.
