AS THE BBC and the rest of the Government’s news media again play down Israel’s policy of genocide, the apartheid state methodically destroys the little that remains of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure and any hope of freedom from the random slaughter of the past three years.

The current round, which started with an Israeli terror attack last Friday, is part of Zionism’s commitment to expansion through uncompromising violence and is paid for with US dollars, over three billion given as military aid.

Billions more are spent defending Israel’s interests militarily and economically throughout the region; millions more as tax-exempted charity from the dumbest electorate on earth to help settle Palestinian land with Jewish extremists.
