Ms Masri delivered this powerful speech at “Crisis in Gaza and West Bank: Context and Action” forum sponsored by the Coalition for Peace with Justice in August 6. It is the most courageous speech I have ever heard about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The hate that is being spewed by Israelis against Palestinians in recent months, have reached historical levels.
Israelis are openly calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They are using that language of “Ethnic Cleansing.” They are openly calling for genocide. There was an article that was published twice in The Times of Israel, entitled: Genocide is permissible.
Now, for a community to be openly calling for such things, it means it has gone beyond even the shame of justifying murder, and for them to do this, means that they have truly embraced racism.
“Even if, even if the Palestinian Resistance launched the first rocket (which it did not), it would not be a provocation. It would legally be a retaliation.”
We need to recognise that.So I will not apologise for the rockets or the tunnels.
