Israel's decision to launch its devastating attack on Gaza on a Saturday was a "stroke of brilliance", the country's biggest selling paper Yediot Aharonot crowed: "the element of surprise increased the number of people who were killed". The daily Ma'ariv agreed: "We left them in shock and awe".

Of the ferocity of the assault on one of the most overcrowded and destitute corners of the earth, there is at least no question. In the bloodiest onslaught on blockaded Gaza since it was captured and occupied by Israel 41 years ago, at least 310 people were killed and more than a thousand reported injured in the first 48 hours alone.

Difficult to comprehend how Israeli Zionists have become bloodthirsty and vicious mass killers with a cruelty that is hard to understand.

They not only celebrate that 1000s of children are blown to bits but purposefully prevent food and medicines getting through blockades with an aim to starve to death those they miss by slaughtering with bombs or gloating IDF
snipers.

Some estimates say it's more likely there are over 200,000 killed with 1000s of bodies buried under the Gaza rubble which may explain why the Netanyahu clan of killers wish to totally obliterate Gaza and it's surrounds.

What sort of vile ghoulish Jews flock to buy Gaza plots of seaside land at real estate fairs in the USA?

Were the Germans this bloodthirsty during the terrible Holocaust ..perhaps popping champagne corks when news came though of another 10,000 Jews sent to the ovens or did they as I expect, live in ignorance seeing the Nazis controlled all information. They did move into confiscated Jewish apartments but perhaps they were told the former residents had "emigrated to Madagascar."

Again I am reminded of the superb writings of Hannah Arendt and her authoring of the phrase "the banality of evil" as she grew up in Nazi Germany on the small incremental steps each day to reach the pinnacle of the madness.

But there are no small unnoticed steps with Israel's genocide. Blatant and open and celebrated by gleeful crazed Zionists.

Perhaps not Hedda; perhaps they lived in ignorance.

But the German people had been enriched rather than attacked by European Jews. The German people were not surrounded by countries full of religious fanatics who would wipe them off the face of the earth, given the means.

And had not in living memory seen 6 million of their kind murdered in death camps by facists like Hamas.

Israelis know that Hamas and affiliates would murder every one of them tomorrow if able; and anyone who thinks otherwise, anyone who thinks Hamas is a bunch of freedom fighters with the best interests of Palestinians at heart, is an ignorant fool. A "useful idiot".

I deplore what the IDF is doing. It is monstrous, totally indefensible and needs to stop NOW.

But your comparison is far too simplistic; and the fears of Israelis understandable.

There is no solution to this without an understanding of the Israeli position. Along with upholding the dignity and rights Palestinians must be unequivocably afforded.
