Israel’s decision under its fanatic ethno-nationalist government to both approve more West Bank settlements and invade Gaza City now tragically defines the whole Zionist project: a 70-year campaign to purge Palestinians and create a greater Israel. Netanyahu’s criminality now defines Israel’s mission and recasts its history.
Statement by former NSW Premier and Foreign Minister Hon Bob Carr
An Israel run by settlers and religious fanatics will now demolish the last houses of Palestinians in Gaza and starve them, “concentrating” them (this verb chosen with deliberation) into tents in the south and offering them evacuation to South Sudan or Libya.
