The Israeli government is determined to collectively punish Gaza for Hamas’s attack on Israeli cities last weekend that horrifically left hundreds of innocent civilians, Jewish and Palestinian Bedouins, dead. The brutal, indiscriminate killings of working-class and poor people, including children and elderly people, in towns, kibbutzes, and young people attending a musical festival must be completely opposed. These methods will not defeat the Israeli State; quite the opposite, the revulsion to them among ordinary people in Israel and beyond will only strengthen the hand of the oppressors of the Palestinians.
Why attack Palestine on unverified claims? So much of the "innocent victims of Israel" are being refuted all the time.
