Israel's Slow Motion Genocide Creates It's Own Slow Motion Suicide

" Ye reap what ye sow", so goes the biblical caveat. And so Israel's slow motion, 60 year-old genocide against the Palestinians creates a parallel slow motion Israeli suicide. It reminds of the Israeli mass suicide at Masada over 2000 years ago.

Consider Palestine as a plant and the policies of Israel as a herbacide that is administered in recurring , measured doses. Not enough for an outright kill off but enough for some killing but also a chance for mutant strains of Palestinian resistence to build up a tolerance. The new resitant strain takes the name of Hamas. And so the cynical Israelis and their counterparts in the Bush administration launch a new eradication campaign. And they arm Fatah against Hamas. Any Palestinians civilians caught in the middle can go to hell.

The doses of greed and conniving that created Israel and that have maintained it these past 60 years now show a half-life of toxicity that has built up in the Israeli state. The great greed now becomes an impediment to better judgement and peace so that Israel's existence is now in doubt.
