The Atrocity

The Atrocity

By Uri Avnery


Again without
any purpose. Again with the certainty that after
it’s all over, everything will essentially be the
same as it was before.


But I can
hardly hear the sirens which warn of rockets coming
towards Tel Aviv. I cannot take my mind off the
awful thing that happened in Jerusalem.


IF A gang
of neo-Nazis had kidnapped a 16-year old boy in a
London Jewish neighborhood in the dark of the night,
driven him to Hyde Park, beaten him up, poured
gasoline into his mouth, doused him all over and set
him on fire – what would have happened?


Wouldn't
the UK have exploded in a storm of anger and
disgust?


Wouldn't
the Queen have expressed her outrage?


Wouldn't
the Prime Minister have rushed to the home of the
bereaved family to apologize on behalf of the entire
nation?


Wouldn't
the leadership of the neo-Nazis, their active
supporters and brain-washers be indicted and
condemned?


Perhaps in
the UK. Perhaps in Germany.


Not here.

ei: Pushing for "normalization" of Israeli apartheid The Arab League proposed in 2002 what became known as the Arab Peace Initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was an unprecedented, bold offer which promised Israel full normalization in exchange for a complete withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967 and the creation of a Palestinian state. The plan called for a "just settlement" to the Palestinian refugee issue. This, in practical terms, meant renunciation of the right to return, despite this being an individual right under international law of which no state or authority can forfeit on behalf of the refugees. The Arab Peace Initiative was based on what fallaciously became known as the "international consensus" for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that of "two states, for two peoples," championed by the Zionist left as well as Israel's patrons in the West. The plan represented a rare united front a...
