Israel killed 546 Palestinian children over the course of only 50 days in Gaza in 2014. Of those, 180 were babies and toddlers under the age of five.
ed note–for the record, I like Gideon Levy. He always seems reasonable on the various positions he takes and displays a seemingly innate rejection of the same Judaic supremacist tendencies that unfortunately prevail within the Judaic community as an inescapable result of the supremacism that is written into Judaism’s operating system.
However, when he asks questions such as the one functioning as the title of this piece, I am left scratching my head as to how he just doesn’t ‘get it’. For thousands of years, Jews the world over have celebrated Passover, which, among many things, celebrates the deaths of the first born of Egypt. For thousands of years, Jews the world over have celebrated Purim, which, among many things, celebrates the deaths of 75,000 Persians murdered by a mob of fanatical, vindictive Jews, and whose victims would had to have included at least some children. For thousands of years, Judaism in its writings and pronouncements has been very clear on how Gentiles are to be dealt with, and particularly those who defiling the ‘purity’ of the Holy Land with their presence, to wit-
‘When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall save nothing alive that breathes…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy. You shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…’–Book of Deuteronomy
So how can he in all seriousness wonder out loud for even a microsecond just HOW Jewish society can turn a blind eye to the numbers of Palestinian children that have been deliberately murdered by the Jewish state when such behavior is sanctioned at the highest level–by the ‘god’ of the Jews, Yahweh himself–within the words of the Jewish Torah?
