Harsh. Itβs a very funny book with some horrifying moments. The movie is more of a slow burn. There is nothing in the movie as side-splitting odd as the chapter praising Huey Lewis and the News, not even the business card scene.
Good film, astonishing book.

Surely that is also true of every single country established in the last 300 years. Making it even more absurd how the worldβs only Jewish majority state is singled out for disapprobation.

I have no argument with that, but it fundamentally contradicts your earlier comment about Zionism being a false dream. Zionism and Israel has provided a haven for Jews from Russia, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, and more. The dream is very real and very necessary.

I donβt defend genocide. I am an Israeli Zionist who has consistently voted to end the occupation and the siege of Gaza and negotiate a just solution for the Palestinians based on 67 borders and land swaps. Am I still a Nazi?

βThe soldiers were released after being questioned as part of the investigation. However, on July 30, Belgian prosecutors decided to refer the case to the International Criminal Court (ICC) following a formal inquiry.β

Your comparison of Zionists with Nazis is deliberately aimed at causing maximum offence to Jews. You donβt call Hamas Nazis or Isis, or Hezbollah or Russia.

There is no definition of the legal term war crime which could include the authorship of this article.

You don't think the NY Times swallowing lies and propaganda and printing them on the front page is significant?
Do you believe everything Hamas says about the number of casualties in Gaza? Does it bother you that they do not distinguish between combatants and non-combatants?

The original article claimed that the child's condition was entirely due to starvation. The retraction from the NYT, exposed that they had lied and that the child was born with a serious medical condition. This is all well documented, hence the retraction.

Perhaps you missed the news story where the venerable NYT had to publish a retraction after mislabeling a picture of a sick child in Gaza.
It fully supports the headline in the article you quote.

If you have specific evidence about a specific individual committing a specific war crime on a specific date, then they should be charged and tried.
But your blanket use of βtheyβ extrapolating the actions of individuals to stand for any Israeli ever is horseshit, Iβm afraid.
