Jessica Corbett of Common Dreams reports that Israeli Knesset Member, Ofer Cassif, who had supported South Africa’s referral of Israel to the ICJ, has denounced Israel’s current attack on Eastern Rafah. He said, “Israeli tanks and infantry enter east Rafah while planes bomb from above, just hours after Hamas' decision to accept the hostages/prisoners exchange deal...Why? Because killing Palestinians is more important for the Israeli government than saving Israelis. War criminals!" To wit, www.commondreams.org/...
Cassif is referring to a chance for releasing the hostages being squandered by BN’s belligerence. Ethnic cleansing is the avowed goal of members of BN’s cabinet such as Finance Minister Smotrich and National Security Minister, G’vir, who have urged the PM to completely annihilate Gaza and create Israeli colonies there.
Meanwhile, CNN interviewed the mother of an Israeli hostage who feels like a sword of Damocles keeps swinging over her head every time a hostage deal appears possible only to be sabotaged in the eleventh hour. Watch here: www.cnn.com/... How could that self-serving PM not be moved by the palpable anguish in that mother’s voice? We know he his utterly indifferent to the plight of Gazan children and is motivated by revenge, but he has forsaken his own citizens as well. This applies to the terrorist Sinwar as well. The actions of these figures are a poignant reminder of the depths to which man can sink when possessed by a lust for retribution.
