Matan Vilnai threatens Palestinians with a bigger holocaust
Matan Vilnai threatens Palestinians with a bigger holocaust
[ 29/02/2008 - 12:04 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai told the Israeli Army Radio on Friday: "The more Qassam fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, [the Palestinians] will bring upon themselves a bigger holocaust because we will use all our might to defend ourselves.", according to Haaretz.

This is the first indirect admission by an Israeli official that what Israel is conducting against the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is a holocaust, albeit a slow motion one.

In the past 48 hours, the IOF killed 34 Palestinians including 9 children in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, mostly in airstrikes, and the Israeli occupation government is threatening a major ground offensive of the Gaza Strip and say that the army was ready to carry out such an invasion.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Health of the care taker government of Ismail Haneyya said, in a statement to PIC on Thursday, that more than 70% of those killed and wounded in the latest Israeli occupation onslaught are women and children.

Meanwhile, Ismail Haneyya, in his Friday sermon said that the threat of a ground invasion does not frighten the people of Gaza: "haven't they [the Israelis] occupied the Gaza Strip for 38 years, what have they achieved? They could not break the determination of the Palestinians to struggle for freedom."

Haneyya also criticised those who claim that the resistance rockets were the reason for the Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip, saying that resistance factions have effectively stopped firing missiles in the past week, but Israel responded by targeting, on Wednesday, five resistance fighters prompting resistance factions to respond.

"The rockets are just a pretext, the aim of the Israeli onslaught is to make Palestinians submit and stop demanding their rights."

Genocide in Gaza

Indeed, it can only be called a holocaust when you starve people for two years because they practiced their democratic right and elected a party that is not ready to compromise their inalienable rights.. " the most effective, least expensive method of carrying out genocide, has been by denying simple basic necessities of life, such as food and water to those targeted for death", from an interesting article you can find here: http://www.rense.com/general79/ignore.htm

I strongly sondemn his comment. It is the most disgusting word I ever heard. I am certain that this remark will generate more violence around the world. I am seeking to see if my brothers could sit with these animals and find a way out of this crisis. I know they want the land back from occupiers but give a shot to cool the situation.

Amalek Matan VILNAI is just one more of these wicked Zionazis, just the hard version of 'pacifist'Yariv OPPENHEIMER from Shalom Achschav, a partner of Quisling ABBAS. Such disgusting criminal statements will not save Zionism from his doom.With Gods help Palestine Resistance will be victorious. 60 years NAKBA, 60 years anti-Thora State, stop it.Highest time for Thora true Jews and sincere Muslims to stand united in a strategic friendship alliance against Zionism. It was advocated already in 1934 by Rabbi Simon SCHWAB in his book "Home to Judaism" Yeshurun Judaism against Zionism www.bloggen.be/jesjoeroen expresses hereby it's sympathy and solidarity with Gaza and the Palestinian Resistance.
