If Israel is using the excuse of crude rockets from Gaza to slaughter thousands of Palestinians...

61. Hamas rockets are not a mortal threat to the state of Israel, but Arab and Palestinian

birthrates are.

Israeli propaganda, which has recently been influence by Republican media consultant Frank Luntz, tries to paint Hamas as an adversary with equal military capability as Israel. That is just plain fiction. Israeli political and military leaders publicly praise the technological marvel of the Iron Dome missile defense system, which has effectively stopped incoming missiles 86% of the time. Most of Hamas’ rockets, if not shot down by this system, land harmlessly in the desert.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee has publicly trumpeted to his 119,000 Arabic followers via Twitter that Hamas’ rockets are ‘weak,’ a ‘failure’ and that the threat these rockets pose to Israeli citizens is exaggerated by Hamas.

So contrary to what Israeli politicians publicly say in English, Hamas’ rockets aren’t a mortal threat to the state of Israel. However, an increasing number of Israeli Jews view Arab and Palestinian birthrates as a major threat to the security of the Jewish state. Maybe that is why we’re starting to hear justifications for genocide or “final solutions” for the Palestinians from Israelis and the cheer-leading of the slaughter of Palestinians from Israeli towns, like Sderot, which was once the home of some Gazans many years ago.
