Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

This is how Israel came into existence and how it has sustained its existence. A country built on war crimes and crimes against humanity all the way down and no amount of liberal Zionist equivocating can erase that fact.

This isn't Gaza. This is the West Bank which is run by the PA not Hamas. It is being decimated, homes destroyed, over 40,000 Palestinians displaced so far with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Western MSM silence is deafening. Now imagine if this was inside Ukraine.
