Opinion piece: Why Israel wants to erase context and history in the war on Gaza

[Beastly Boy]

2. What a croc of crap masquerading as historical analysis!

Turns out that the murderous terrorist slaughter of civilians is a mere pretext for so many interests to commit so many affronts to the murderers! The european countries were just waiting for the pretext to violate democratic freedoms, Israel was just waiting for the pretext to expand the definition of antisemitism (as if the existing definition was not damning enough on antisemites) and pursue genocidal policies that it never had any interest in pursuing before, and the US was just itching to re-establish their presence in the Middle East (WTF, do Saudi bases not count as US presence in the ME?)

Oh, and the history to be contextualized only begins towards the end of 19th century and doesn't include the origins of Zionism, pogroms prior to WW1, concentration camps during WW2, the UN recognition of Israel and a mass exile of 900,000 Jews from an alphabet's full of Arab countries between 1950 and 1980 and annexaction of the West Bank by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt, among other inconvenient historical facts. No disregarding any historical context here at all!

I can't believe people get paid for this nonsense.
