War CRIME in the name of 'gaza conflict'

Noam Chomsky’s statement on Israel’s aggression in Gaza:
“The incursion and bombardment of Gaza is not about destroying Hamas. It is not about stopping rocket fire into Israel, it is not about achieving peace.
The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase in a decades-long campaign to ethnically-cleanse Palestinians.
Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army… and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder.
When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing. You can’t defend yourself when you’re militarily occupying someone else’s land. That’s not defense. Call it what you like, it’s not defense.”


Strange how the US can be very vexed by the annexation of Crimea, and what is going on in eastern Ukraine but not about all the territory occupied by the Israelis since 1967.
Their failure to agree with the majority on the UN report speaks volumes.
Since its formation almost seventy years ago, the settler state of Israel has been responsible for countless war crimes against the Palestinians. But still we persist with the pernicious lie that somehow this is a 'conflict' which needs to be 'resolved' , as opposed to a one-sided colonial war waged against a defenceless Palestinian population.
Netanyahu should be in front of the International Criminal Court for what has happened over the past month in Palestine.

How does the world accept these?? 700++ within 17 days!!!
