Operation Protective Edge, ethnic cleansing and the issue of genocide
" The pretext used by Israeli Premier Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu to unleash the awful might of the US-funded IDF was the killing of three Israeli teenagers. Netanyahu lost no time to ascribe blame and single out suspected killers and plan the execution of a punishment: "Hamas is responsible, and Hamas will pay." Among the first to cast doubt on Bibi's seemingly unwavering conviction was the Buzzfeed Middle East Correspondent Sheera Frenkel, indicating that the abduction and murder of the teenagers was carried out by locals without any regard for repercussions, or consequences or even direct links and connections with the Islamic Resistance Movement or Hamas. In hindsight, it seems that Protective Edge (the code name given to this fourth war against Hamas in the past eight years) was a pre-planned and organized operation, carried out at the drop of a hat once a sufficient pretext or impetus was found or possibly fabricated.
Whenever violence erupts in the Holy Land, as Occupied Palestine-now-known-as-Israel is sometimes referred to, charges of anti-Semitism are never far off to detract from serious criticism of the military actions carried out by the Jewish State. "
