The above is the headline for a post in AlterNet by Max Blumenthal below is his video of the rally. The full text of his report is here.
I do not believe that all Jews would stand along side these fanatics. I do not believe that all Jews agree with the criminal acts of the Israeli government and military. I do not believe that all Jews have forgotten that once the Nazis were persecuting, starving, torturing and killing their grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers and sisters.
I know I am right. Former Israeli Knesset speaker and Jewish National Fund chairman Avraham Burg has this to say in his new book “The Holocaust Is Over, We Must Rise From Its Ashes”:
“If you are a bad person, a whining enemy or a strong-arm occupier, you are not my brother, even if you are circumcised, observe the Sabbath, and do mitzvahs. If your scarf covers every hair on your head for modesty, you give alms and do charity, but what is under your scarf is dedicated to the sanctity of Jewish land, taking precedence over the sanctity of human life, who’s ever life that is, then your are not my sister. You might be my enemy. A good Arab or a righteous gentile will be a brother or sister to me. A wicked man, even of Jewish descent, is my adversary, and I would stand on the other side of the barricade and fight him to the end.”
Israel in trying to annihilate the Palestinians is no better than Hitler’s Nazis.
Here are some of the comments posted on AlterNet by readers of the article by Max Blumenthal.

“It’s astonishing that presumably intelligent people could really be this stupid. They accuse Palestinians of hatred and lethal intentions while expressing hatred and lethal intentions towards Palestinians. They bemoan anti-Semitism, but can’t comprehend the connection between Israeli aggression and attacks on innocent Jews.”
“Given the nearly 100:1 disparity in mortality, the devastation of infrastructure and homes, the blockade of food and medicines, the disruption of water and sewer services and savage attacks on paramedics, doctors, aid convoy workers and other humanitarians, how can any sane person pretend that the Israeli response is proportionate?”

“They are becoming exactly like the very people their forebears suffered under in Nazi Germany… thinking themselves somehow better people than anyone else, seeing themselves as “God’s wrath” personified. They are pathetic and their acts are criminal. These cheerleaders in NY and elsewhere see to it through their lobbying that the flow of weapons will never diminish, the war will always play on.”

“Let’s not be naive – genocide is Israel’s real aim here.”
“Thinking about it from the Israeli perspective that is clearly the strategic aim of the Gaza operation. We can’t be so naive as to not realize that. They may pretend to be in reaction mode and simply defending themselves but we are indeed naive if we believe they (the Israeli’s) are that naive. I wish the Palestinian militants would realize this. Unfortunately for the Palestinian people they are the only ones who are reacting without forethought of the consequences.”
“Israel hopes to further infuriate the militants giving them the needed ammunition to further their genocide via ethnic cleansing. This is such an extreme view it is casually dismissed by the mainstream media and others in polite debate. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that it is the case and this idea must now dominate Israel’s long term planning.”
“The Palestinian genocide is becoming one of the most blatant in history but it is happening slowly enough that no one dares to point it out. Let’s start calling it what it is.”

“I think that “Pro” either side is horrible and disgusting and we should grow up, stop taking sides like a bloody football team and get BOTH of these groups of people to act like humans. There is NO RIGHT SIDE HERE.”
I like the last comment. Neither side is RIGHT, but ordinary Jews aren’t the Israeli government and ordinary Palestinians aren’t Hamas but it’s the ordinary people who are suffering!
