This video explains why Israel has NOT got the right to defend itself against the people it has made prisoners of war in a conflict that Israel started in 1948.
Killing Palestinians it has kept imprisoned in Gaza for seven long years is a war crime.
No nation on the planet has the right to kill its prisoners of war, whether war has been formally declared or not. And no Geneva Convention nor United Nations Resolution has ever promulgated such a ridiculous idea.
A simple question to be asked: Where is the native land of the jews before the jewish “god” of a burning bush suddenly popped its head in Sinai to “promise” the jews Palestine that was never ever their native home? …
Israeli officials were caught in a revealing lie late last month as the country celebrated the Jewish New Year. Shortly after declaring the most popular boy’s name in Israel to be “Yosef”, the interior ministry was forced to concede that the top slot was actually filled by “Mohammed”.

That insistence has inevitably led to racism, discrimination and ethnic cleansing. These are not practices that have characterized modern Jewry and so it is simply wrong to equate Zionism with Judaism and insist that Israel stands in for the world’s Jews.
Ferguson, Gaza, and Luhansk bleed all the time these days and the United States does nothing very useful for any of them. Not in out “national interest.” Simpler and easier to blame the victims. Can’t waste our precious resources.
Ferguson, Gaza, and Luhansk have been bleeding for days, for weeks, for years, forever in current and chronic crisis, and what does the United States do to help any of them?
