Israel's lebensraum master plan for Gaza, borrowed from the Nazi’s depopulation of Jewish ghettos, is clear. Destroy infrastructure, medical facilities and sanitation, including access to clean water. Block shipments of food and fuel. Unleash indiscriminate industrial violence to kill and wound hundreds a day.

Excerpt:

It is hard not to be cynical about the plethora of university courses about the Holocaust given the censorship and banning of groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace, imposed by university administrations.

What is the point of studying the Holocaust if not to understand its fundamental lesson -- when you have the capacity to stop genocide and you do not, you are culpable?

It is hard not to be cynical about the 'humanitarian interventionists' - Barack Obama, Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Samantha Power - who talk in sanctimonious rhymes about the 'Responsibility to Protect' but are silent about war crimes when speaking out would threaten their status and careers.

None of the 'humanitarian interventions' they championed, from Bosnia to Libya, come close to replicating the suffering and slaughter in Gaza. But there is a cost to defending Palestinians, a cost they do not intend to pay. There is nothing moral about denouncing slavery, the Holocaust or dictatorial regimes that oppose the United States. All it means is you champion the dominant narrative.

The moral universe has been turned upside down. Those who oppose genocide are accused of advocating it. Those who carry out genocide are said to have the right to 'defend' themselves.
