Dear Mr Hitler, er I mean Bibi Netanyahu

This is an open letter to the war-mongering, fascist "leadership" of Israel.


Heil Bibi!

Two of the most oft quoted Israeli slogans are "We shall not forget" and "Never again". Unfortunately Bibi and he cronies have not forgotten, they have actually taken the actions of the fascists of World War II to heart.

When I was growing up I was taught by my Jewish family (I'm now and atheist and have been one for some 40 years) that Jews are mostly known as artists, intellects, scientists, philosophers and the like.

But increasingly over the years it's been the warmongering Goliaths of Israel instead of the Einsteins, Chagalls, Chomskys etc who have epitomised the nation and its people.

I'm not saying Israel has not got the right to defend itself, but if that defence is so out of proportion to the enemy's defences then that's not defence, it's mass murder. And these mass murderers should be hauled before the international criminal court and/ or whatever other legal body exists to prosecute war crimes.

We all know what happened to the Bible's Goliath and we all know that bullies almost always get their come-uppance. We can but hope for the same for Bibi and his cohorts.
