Stephen Lendman: Israeli Rogue State "Peace And Justice"

Most of the entire world knows that Israel is a repressive rogue state. When I served as Intelligence Operations Officer for our 4th Armored Division in Goeppingen, Germany, I had the misfortune of listening to the Israeli Air-force machine gun the survivors of the USS Liberty, and at the time, the Commanding General of our Division commented: "With friends like the Israelis, we have no need of enemies!" On October 10, without provocation, Israeli jets bombed northern Gaza, while Israeli bulldozers demolished a Palestinian home near Bethlehem. Palestinians were prevented from entering or leaving, so all of them were doomed to die! On October 6, Israeli forces demolished homes, barns, and barracks belonging to Palestinian shepherds in Wadi Al-Mahel and Al-Hamma north of the Jordan Valley. At the same time, IDF (Israeli Defense Force) troops stormed Beit Kahlil northwest of Hebron, to destroy another Palestinian home! Olive trees were uprooted and other property bulldozed, while Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at residents trying to stop them. On October 8, Israeli gunboats opened fire on Gaza fishermen, causing extensive damage. At-Tawfeeq Society of Fishermen head Mahmoud Al Aassy said Israel terrorizes Gazans to deter them from fishing to earn a living and feed their families.
