I wish someone was paying me for these emails,
unfortunately no one does. But frankly saying, I don't
care. When you are sitting in the bomb shelter and have
absolutely no social life it is quite nice to talk to
other people even if they disagree with you...

Elina, over zealous dedication indicates you
are using this forum as part of your media job.
However, looking at your emotional responses and
utterly unreasonable justifications indicate a high
level of tension on the Israeli side. Nothing
personal here, you probably are a very good person,
but sometimes a man has to wonder if your motives
are financial or just mere indoctrination. I do not
rule out either, but most probably I'd put it down
as a financially motivated negating dogma. Perhaps
it is too late to fight a media war you are already
losing, thanks to the out-of-control Israeli Army
that turned Gaza into a scene from a horror movie.
Calling the occupation 'propaganda' is frankly
embarrassing. If the Israeli officials truly believe
that marketing such an out of this world notion,
then...well, it indicates nothing but those people
are running out of words and pretexts, let alone
directions. I am not going to explain to you why
Gaza is a land under military occupation, you
probably know that but choose to close your eyes to
the blunt facts and pretend they do not exist with
the hope someday the problem will sort itself out.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but..no, it will not
sort itself out whether or not you choose to ignore
it.
What Israel is going through at the moment,
like it always has, is a textbook post-holocaust
existential paranoia coupled with a wide scale
indoctrination that aims to eliminate and dehumanize
the other - the Palestinian people - as a possible
existential threat. It is not about Hamas or
Islamic Jihad or whoever, but rather against any
Palestinian who stands up to the occupation. The
Israeli Army - wounded by unexpected resistance - is
clearly targeting the social infrastructure of the
'terrorist organizations', hoping to break the will
of Palestinians to fight. I wonder, if Palestinians
choose to surrender - which is a far-fetched
imagination and you know that - then what? Will
Israel leave them alone? Can Israel genuinely live
and let them live? Or even more importantly, is
Israel capable of co-existing with a Palestinian
state? Psychologically speaking, can Israel survive
without a military occupation?
On behalf of the Palestinian families who were
blown up to smithereens, Thank you, but sorry,
apology not accepted. Have the Jews ever imagined
being able to hunt down Nazi officers and bring them
to justice?! Someday...
