Final Solution: “All Palestinians either Expelled or Murdered”

We are witnessing by any and all accounts a massive massacre of Palestinian civilians who for the past 16 years have been imprisoned on the Gaza Strip – blockaded and controlled by Israel. This massacre is being carried out as if ordained in the Old Testament. This stems from the conviction on the part of the very influential, fundamentalist part of Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition in some God-given right to occupy and control “Greater Israel,” which includes all of Palestine.

Netanyahu was recently recorded citing 1 Samuel 15:3 in a clip that has gone viral.

“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”

Victims of this massacre are the direct descendants of the Palestinians forcibly expelled from their homes upon the creation of Israel in 1948, the deadly expulsion known as the Nakba. The next stage is described in Jimmy Carter’s book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid published in 2007. From Amazon’s book review:

“Pulling no punches, Carter prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism.

“The general parameters of a long-term, two-state agreement are well known, the president writes. There will be no substantive and permanent peace for any peoples in this troubled region as long as Israel is violating key UN resolutions, official American policy, and the international ‘road map’ for peace by occupying Arab lands and oppressing the Palestinians. Except for mutually agreeable negotiated modifications, Israel’s official pre-1967 borders must be honored.”
