FINKELSTEIN: Israel Created an Apocalypse Inside a 'Concentration Camp'
Professor says some have called Gaza a concentration camp that has turned into an extermination camp since the Hamas attack.
Norman Finkelstein, the Middle East scholar, said in an interview published Monday that Israel has created an “apocalypse” inside Gaza during its 14-month siege on the enclave backed by U.S. support.
“Israel has created an apocalypse — an apocalypse targeting a concentration camp — half of whose inmates are children,” he told podcaster Eli Hassell. “So, if there is outrage and indignation at what Israel is doing, and if — for a period of time — this outrage and indignation dominated news headlines, it’s not because — in my opinion — the international community or the international public is antisemitic or prejudiced against Israel. The horror that it inflicted — has inflicted in Gaza is simply unspeakable.”
Finkelstein noted that Amnesty International, the human rights group, recently issued an extensive report that accused Israel of carrying out genocide in Gaza, citing cases of “serious violations of international humanitarian law.”
The report was rejected by Israel and its top Western allies but was the latest blemish on its appalling conduct in Gaza, for all to see.
Israel has been carrying out extensive military operations inside the enclave since the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack. As of the report’s release date, the genocide spanned 425 days and resulted in the deaths of at least 44,612—mainly women and children. Israel has all but stopped the flow of humanitarian aid into the enclave—creating a man-made humanitarian crisis with no end in sight.
Finkelstein noted that Gaza has recently fallen out of the news cycle because of the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but he said it’s natural that there’s extensive news coverage because of the horror that Israel has been inflicted on “these God-forsaken people,” who have suffered in a concentration camp for 70 years.
He said some people say the concentration camp has, since 7 October, turned into an “extermination camp.”
Israel's continued war crimes (only a blind fool would call them something else!) demonstrate without a doubt that the so-called "defender of freedom and democracy", the USA, is just Israel's abused whore with lots of money and comprisable "leaders" ("leaders")!
Israel has every right to destroy, take the land of its' enemies to establish a buffer zone.
Anyone who disagrees is anti-semitic.
May G-d have NO MERCY on your soul.
