In fact, the IDF has gone to such great pains to avoid civilian casualties (even though most “Palestinians” would like to see them wiped off the face of the planet) that it has achieved the lowest civilian to soldier casualty ratio in the history of urban warfare.

But the kicker, perhaps the most preposterous assertion in recorded history, is Finkelstein’s claim that Zionists have “exploited the Holocaust.”

Apparently Finkelstein and Hedges are unclear on the concept of “exploitation.” If the Jews/Zionists “exploited” the Holocaust, the U.S. “exploited” Pearl Harbor and the Baltic states exploited being forcefully occupied by the Soviet Union.

Finklestein is one of the worst . No wonder radical wikipedians quote him everywhere.

Bibi has publicly stated that the ratio is 1:1 or 1:1.5

There is no way that is the lowest ratio in modern warfare.

Jews have been expelled from the Left.

And the Post-War taboos against collective scapegoating and penalization of Jews have been totally shattered.

Interestingly, it opens up some ground for the White Identity Right, which has always been shut down by the Left using the spectre of:

“Protection of White nations = Moustache Man and mass murder.”

Interesting times.

Since Israel’s enemies and “friends” alike accuse them of genocide no matter what they do what motivation does the IDF have to limit civilian casualties? What’s next, accusations of double secret genocide?

I would argue it is immoral to harm your own people in order to protect enemy civilians, especially given that enemy targets your civilians.

There always will be self-serving individuals or organizations who will “exploit” any issue. But nowhere is this phenomenon more common than among Israel/Jew haters exploiting the names of free speech and revisionism to promote evil agendas and applaud Ha-Mads. They are the #1, as well as the classic, exploiters.

The Jews have earned the right to exploit the Holocaust, to include stealing an 8000 sq mile strip of desert nobody much wanted until they settled there and turned it into an oasis.
