Israel has beaten Nazism in crimes

     SINCE Israeli occupation of the Palestinian lands, it has never stopped committing heinous crimes as history tells us of a series of ghastly massacres of unarmed, innocent Palestinian civilians by the Jewish army. The rate of Israeli crimes has shot up over the last four years.

      The merciless killing of Palestinian children, women and elderly, the wanton demolition of houses, schools and places of worship and the indiscriminate destruction of farms and crops by Israeli tanks and bulldozers have become an everyday feature in the occupied lands.

       Israel's one and only goal is the destruction of life in the occupied Palestinian lands - something that did not happen during Nazism. Let us have no doubt about it, Israel has replaced the Nazis in criminal, inhuman acts.

       One is shocked when one reads the history books that narrate the horrible acts during Nazism and the cold-blooded massacres that were committed without any regard to universal rights and global conventions.

       However, what is happening in Palestine makes the Nazi crimes seem less horrible. Israel's barbaric acts make Nazi crimes not more than a drop in the Israeli ocean of sins. Statistics reveal that more than 1,800 houses had been destroyed and over 2,800 families made homeless in Palestine over the last few weeks. In 2002, the city of Jenin was totally wiped out of Palestinian map, something that Nazism had not done to the Jews themselves.

       It appears that Israel has set a world record in committing crimes against humanity and is determined to maintain and enhance the record, every day.

       US President W. George Bush says Israel has the right to defend itself. But who is the defender here? It is Israel that has occupied Palestine. It is the Palestinians who are defending their land, honour and dignity, whereas Israel is the aggressor and occupier.

       Israel unleashes mayhem and spills the blood of innocent Palestinians in the occupied Palestine lands everyday, adding more names to the list of martyrs. More than anything done by Nazism, the Israelis have shown that their monster hearts are merciless and filled with hatred against the Arabs.

       The world is watching, silently, how the Israeli bullets hunt down children and women and how their bulldozers raze down houses and farms, paying scant respect to tearful pleas from Palestinian civilians. We used to equate Nazism with barbarity and inhuman acts. Whenever a reference is made to crimes against humanity, history quoted the Nazis and what they did.

       But Israel has beaten the Nazis. They have displaced the Nazis from the books of history in barbaric killings.

       Who is murdering young, innocent children?

       Who is gunning down women and the elderly?

       Who is shelling unarmed civilians with the help of Apache planes?

       Who is destroying houses without any regard to the world?

       Who is turning fertile farms into barren deserts?

       Who is flouting international law?

 

       It is Israel. Israel, no doubt, has gone one-up on the Nazis in committing crimes against humanity
