Israel demands peace from Palestinians as its own racism spreads

The Strategic Affairs Ministry never ceases to bring us peace of mind. How
nice to know that someone in Israel is monitoring Palestinian incitement,
ensuring they "create an environment of peace" and striving "to push them
toward a culture of peace". After all, what do we care about construction in
Jerusalem, Efrat or Ramat Shlomo, or about checkpoints, arrests, home
demolitions, the army's "neighbor policy," bone breaking, land appropriation
or the blockade of 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza?

All of these are minor issues compared with naming a square near Ramallah
after Dalal Mughrabi, a Palestinian woman who took part in a bloody terror
attack three decades ago, calling for confronting the occupation or
referring to suicide bombers as martyrs. These are the real threats to
peace. After all, according to the road map, the Palestinians are
responsible for ending incitement. After we have meticulously fulfilled
everything the road map required of us and completely frozen settlement
construction, it's now their turn.

Yossi Kuperwasser, the deputy director of the Strategic Affairs Ministry and
a generally bright man who once headed the Military Intelligence research
department, explains that there are several categories of incitement. These
include encouraging others to commit terrorist acts, demonizing Israel and
creating an atmosphere of hostility toward it. The fact that the occupation
persists in the Palestinian territories, and that any nation under
occupation will do virtually anything to rid itself of this arrangement, is
apparently missing from his consciousness.

In his view, when Palestinians get up in the morning they begin cursing
Israel and plotting its erasure from the map and school textbooks through
the noble acts of their martyrs. The members of the team tasked with
monitoring incitement disingenuously assert that there is no difference
between scrutinizing this kind of incitement and monitoring anti-Israel
rhetoric emanating from Europe or the United States. The difference,
however, is profound: Israel hasn't occupied France or Cleveland, or
destroyed a single home there.

This is just one more piece of evidence how out of touch the left is.

These leftist idiots have forgotten that we are at war with the Palestinians and this thinking has infected everything in Israel. The government, the IDF have all forgotten that we are at war with the Palestinians.
