Over the last weekend, the Israeli army, in a major operation, attempted to assassinate Mohammed Deif, a leader of Hamas in Gaza and believed by Israel to be the brain behind the October 7th attacks. Now, several days later, it is still unclear if Deif indeed was killed. Hamas claims he is fine and Israel has refrained from an official statement regarding Deif’s fate.
The fate of dozens of Palestinians who lived in tents in the “Safe Area” where Deif was assumed to be hiding (when not in the tunnels underground) is not in dispute. The final number of dead Palestinians killed during the heavy bombardment of the camp by Israel is still unclear but the number of ninety appears to be close to the truth.
In closed circles, Israeli army personnel has conceded that civilian casualties during this operation were considered acceptable and should not be taken into account when making operational decisions. In other words, the army had permission to kill without limitations, just as long as the operational goal, a dead Deif, would be reached.
In the nine months that this war has been raging the number of civilian casualties has reached frightening levels, and even if the correct number is still unknown, with Hamas claiming 38,000, it definitely has reached levels not seen in wars for decades, with 20,000 to 25,000 casualties being the generally accepted dead.
It appears that the directive not to consider civilian casualties in the Deif operation, has been a guideline for the Israeli army throughout the war and the lives of Palestinian men, women and children were of no importance during the devastating destruction of Gaza, through heavy bombardments.
Jewish supremacy has taken over the general attitude in Israel and if you are not Jewish you simply don’t count and may be eradicated like you would kill cockroaches.
A good example of this is the increasing number of murders among the Arab population in Israel. Of course, they are killing each other and not Jews, so who cares, but 122 Arabs have been killed since the beginning of the year, including women and children.
And the main reason for this astounding number? The Israeli police doesn’t care, doesn’t even attempt to solve any of these murders, and probably has orders from the fascist Israeli minister responsible for the police (Itamar Ben-Gvir) to stand by and do nothing, as long as it doesn’t spread to the Jewish part of the Israeli society.
But why do Jews feel superior? Because they were chosen by God as his people? Because they have more Noble Prize winners? Because they are successful bankers? Or they simply feel more important than their goy neighbors?
Antisemitism is increasingly becoming a problem in the world (even though for political reasons anti Israel is quickly called anti Jewish).
While antisemitism is still based on a lack of knowledge or understanding, (and true, jealousy of the Jewish successes) the show of supremacy, particular in a war like the current one in Gaza cause unease and anger among “regular” people. An anger that may easily be turned into antisemitism in particular after an operation like the (alleged) Deif assassination where only two issues were of importance: to kill Deif but make sure not (Jewish) hostages were kept near him as shields.
Jewish attitude towards the rest of the world and towards the “goyim”, is in need of revision, but the change should come from within, which will apparently make it impossible.
