Genocide For Me But Not For Thee -- Tom Sullivan [View all]

https://digbysblog.net/2025/07/27/genocide-for-me-but-not-for-thee/

Starved to bones

Yes, the G-word is a loaded term. But what are we to make of apparent Israeli efforts to bomb Gaza to rubble and starve out its populace in an attempt, to put it as crassly as Donald Trump, to ethnically cleanse the territory to make way for beachfront resort development?

But Ocober 7? But Hamas? But hostages?

But proportionality? How much carnage is justified here, how many deaths of innocents? How many war crimes? How many “But Hamas” excuses?

The Bush II administration used September 11 to justify prisoner abuse and torture. The Netanyahu administration is using October 7 to justify even more.
