    So your original claim? You’ve forgotten about that and your not going to respond to anything I’ve said but will continue to throw out emotive but meaningless statements?

      That Israel is committing a genocide? Here’s a parade of their political leaders saying as much…

      Prime Minister Netanyahu

      They (Israel/IDF) are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,”

      and

      You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.

      and

      I don’t call them human animals because that would be insulting to animals

      “Defence” minister Galant

      We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly

      Kallner…

      Nakba to the enemy now! This day is our Pearl Harbour. We will still learn the lessons. Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. A Nakba in Gaza and a Nakba for anyone who dares to join!

      Atbaryan…

      erasing all of Gaza from the face of the Earth. Gaza needs to be wiped out.

      Halevi…

      goals for this victory. One, there is no more Muslim land in the land of Israel. After we make it the land of Israel, Gaza should be left as a monument, like Sodom.”

      In case you don’t remember your Torah, here’s a refresher on the Amalekites… I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.

      Maybe you meant the funding Hamas piece - here’s Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s telling a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat.

      The Israeli government gave me a budget, and the military government gives to the mosques.”

      Unsurprisingly, Arafat also referred to Hamas as

      A creature of Israel

      Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades speaking to the WSJ…

      Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation
