As the Holocaust proceeded, the world stood by.

Now the genocide of the Palestinians is proceeding and the world stands by.

In the 1930s, Hitler revealed his vision of the Greater German Reich and in the 1940s he proceeded to build it, invading much of Europe and killing millions in the process, as well as settling ethnic Germans in the occupied territories.

Like Hitler, Netanyahu has made no secret of his grandiose plans. Before the forum of the 2025 UN General Assembly, he announced his aim of creating Erez Yisrael, Greater Israel, displaying a map of the re-drawn Middle East.

His expansion involves the complete cleansing of the Gaza Strip and West Bank of all Palestinians and stealing the whole of Jordan, as well as parts of Egypt, Lebanon,  Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. All these territories would then be settled by  Jews.

This maniacal plan, which echoes Hitler’s Mein Kampf, should have drawn the UN Assembly’s immediate condemnation, but instead of standing up for peace and the sovereign rights of UN member countries, the Security Council adopted its usual flaccid position in relation to Israel, criticising some of its  its actions, but doing nothing about it.

Having broken the recent ceasefire agreement while the ink was still wet and continuing its starvation siege of Gaza, Israel now proposes to reopen full-scale war and to take over humanitarian aid distribution from  the UN and voluntary organisations.

Netanyahu’s intentions are clear. He will use food distribution as a means of corralling the Palestinians in a limited area of Gaza as a prelude to the military take-over of the entire Strip. Total ethnic cleansing then completed, he will build settlements for Jewish occupation.

In this devilish plan he will have   the continuing   support of American and British armaments.

I have written this blog aware that some would accuse me of being anti-Semitic.

The international Holocaust Remembrance Alliance |(IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism so defines any comparison of Israeli policy with Nazi policy.

I reject the IHRA conflation of criticism of Zionism and Israel with anti-Semitism.

Where the policies of Israel astonishingly parallel those of Nazi Germany, I  feel it should be  said,  loud and clear.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister, and Yoav Gallant, former Defence Minister, are both the subject of arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal  court(ICC) for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip
