Melanie Phillips:
Appropriate activity for Genocide Daycontinue
SUNDAY, 15TH MAY 2011
Today Israel was invaded from three borders: thousands invaded from Syria, Lebanon and Gaza, along with Arab rampages in east Jerusalem.
A number of people on the Syrian and Lebanese borders have been killed in these violent clashes, although in a still confused situation the IDF say at least some of these were killed by Lebanese forces. In addition, one Israeli was killed and several others injured in Tel Aviv, as an Arab truck driver smashed his vehicle into a bus and several cars. And in East Jerusalem, two policemen were run over and two Arabs injured when the police stopped a number of Arabs to check their papers.
The reason for this concerted onslaught was that today was the anniversary of what Arabs call the 'nakba or ‘catastrophe’, their word for the foundation of the State of Israel when five Arab armies tried to snuff out the nascent state and failed. ‘Nakba day’ is thus a restatement of the goal of eradicating Israel from the face of the earth. Its proper name should therefore be Genocide Day.
The invasion was organised by Syria, Hamas and Hezbollah. None of this should have come as the slightest surprise:
