Just days before the seven-week siege of Gaza this past July and August that left some 2,000 Palestinians dead, 11,000 injured and 100,000 homeless, Israeli lawmaker Ayelet Shaked, a senior figure in the Jewish Home Party that is part of Israels ruling coalition, posted on Facebook that the entire Palestinian people is the enemy . . . including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure. The post went on to declare that behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there. Shakeds Facebook post was shared over 1,000 times and received nearly 5,000 likes. A few weeks later, on August 1, The Times of Israel published an op-ed piece by Yochanan Gordan titled When Genocide Is Permissible. Gordan claimed that theres going to have to come a time where Israel feels threatened enough where it has no other choice but to defy international warnings. He went on: What other way then is there to deal with an enemy of this nature other than obliterate them completely? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly stated at the outset of this incursion that his objective is to restore a sustainable quiet for the citizens of Israel . . . If political leaders and military experts determine that the only way to achieve its goal of sustaining quiet is through genocide is it then permissible to achieve those responsible goals?
