General Discussion

Backed by the U.S. with the strongest military on the world.

The "Israel has a right to exist" slogan is always trotted out by Israel when it has done something heinous - or is about to. But if you think about it, that hasbara slogan is devoid of relevance, logic and sense and only serves to justify Israel's crimes.

But I agree nothing justifies this. However, we look at it from the moral, ethical perspective of outsiders. In Israeli minds and of their supporters, it is perfectly justified for the "greater good". How that is defined and made exclusive and restricted to one group only is the essence of the problem in the whole conflict.

That that one surviving little boy, deprived of all siblings and now a father too does not register within that "greater good" calculation.
