Netanyahu and the Israeli protesters are on the same genocidal page
A desire to end the genocide in Gaza is not what motivates antigovernment protests in Israel. In July 2014, shortly after the kickoff of Israel’s “Operation Protective Edge” in the Gaza Strip – a 51-day affair that ultimately killed 2,251 Palestinians, including 551 children – Danish journalist Nikolaj Krak penned a dispatch from Israel for the Copenhagen-based Kristeligt Dagblad newspaper. For the past 11 months, Israel’s “reality war theatre” has offered a view of all-out genocide in the Gaza Strip, where the official death toll has reached nearly 41,000. Now, massive protests have broken out across Israel demanding that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enact a ceasefire and hostage deal to free the remaining 100 or so Israeli captives held in Gaza. And as the latest episode of Israel’s “reality war theatre” drags on – with related Israeli killing sprees available for viewing in the West Bank and Lebanon, too – this show is really getting old.
