"The failure of the Oslo Accords, the betrayed promise of a Palestinian Estate and the continued denial of Hamas as the elected Palestinian government, have provoked the actual situation in Gaza" This was part of a manifest presented by the small group "Jews for a Just Peace". They were present during yesterdays rally in Berlin, where another very small group of people, around 2,000 to be exact, rallied in favor of Israel's actions against Gaza and the Palestinian people.
It is of common knowledge that Germany holds a guilty complex when it comes to Jews and Israel... thanks to their Nazi past! To go against Israel still is a taboo for them. Understandable... maybe. But 'til when is this guilt gonna be an excuse for the inexcusable? The only thing this is doing for Germany, in the best of cases, is to cause the exact opposite reaction... It makes even more patent the antisemitism that still lives in Germany. A two face masquerade holding a signed blank check to the order of Israel, to confirm without the shadow of a doubt that same past they so desperately want to officially forget.
The little power the manifestation showed, is just another confirmation of a recent poll, where one out of every two Germans is against Israel's attacks on Gaza. Even Jews are against it! Why is it then? Why are we condoning such a conduct. A conduct that so far has taken the lives of 876 people.
Hamas is not the only one suffering here. There are children, just like yours. Human beings just like you and me. People who want to live, grow, progress and aspire to all the things you and me take so much for granted!
I keep hearing comments on the streets, some against Israel, others against the Palestinian. The latest are always accompanied by the word "terrorist". But, how can you leave that qualification out when your sovereignty is not recognized? When no matter what you do, your neighbors don't do as they say? And the crudest of them all... When you see your son, daughter, mother, uncle, sister, brother treated like animals, and finally murdered like pigs.
There is no dignity in this attacks, there is no dignity in murder, but there is even less dignity in turning away from it. When is enough gonna be enough for us to do something? And all because it doesn't happen to one of us!

"Palestinian Genocide"? Hardly.
As much as war is a terrible thing, the killing that has happened in Gaza is a direct result of the provocation of Israel by Gaza itself. Just today 20 rockets hit Israel from Gaza.
Check your history. Ever since the "Palestinians" rejected the land deal of the UN, they have pledged to push Israel into the sea. Who is guilty of wanting to commit genocide? Hmmm...
Yes, war is a terrible thing. Innocent people die. Especially when weapons, etc. are stored in schools, as the Palestinians do in Gaza...so they can scream about the inhumanity of Israel when they destroy them.
Israel may surely be the more powerful force here, but the rockets from Gaza kill Israelis just as dead.
These people need to learn to live with the other next door. Israel has demonstrated their willingness to do so, the "Palestinians" have demonstrated the opposite.
This is not a "Palestinian Genocide" by any realistic definition.
Israel is defending her right to continue to exist, even after they have given up chunks of land.
Genocide? NOT.
Yes, Nazi Germany was guilty of genocide. Israel today is guilty of trying to exist, while many other Arab groups, countries, threaten another Jewish Holocaust.
Time to do a reality check on history as well as current events.
