If there was any question over how far right Israel has drifted those are now answered. Ayelet Shaked has been appointed justice minister. You may or may not remember her from her comments in a facebook post calling for total war against the Palestinian people.
Enough with the oblique references. This is a war. Words have meanings. This is a war. It is not a war against terror, and not a war against extremists, and not even a war against the Palestinian Authority. These too are forms of avoiding reality. This is a war between two people. Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people."
Full post here including the use of Dresden as an example of justified actions in war. Dresden, for those who don't know, was entirely destroyed by allied bombing in a plan to specifically attack and kill civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure. A similar attack on Palestinian cities, and especially Gaza, would be tantamount to genocide in practice.
After Bibi's bait and switch on a Palestinian state in the lead up to the election this recent knews doesn't bode well for any sort of peace process or end to the occupation and regular attacks on Palestinians.
After the recent revelations about the actions of IDF forces in the attack on Gaza last year one could be excused for thinking that much of Israel agrees with Ayalet Shaked.
