Every time I pick up a newspaper I feel physically sick.
This time, the perpetrator guilty of inducing said physical sickness is Monday's Independent.

'Kids like this don't come from nowhere'
I quote the last sentence of the Eric Silver article dated 10th of September. 'We, as a society have failed in educating these youths and distancing them from crazy and dangerous ideologies.' Says Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, in the same article. I find their apparent surprise at the Neo-Nazi cell of Israeli youths, incredibly amusing. The state of Israel today has demonstrated some of the greatest acts of terrorism in the history of mankind, since the Holocaust and Bosnian war. Their gross treatment of the Palestinian people, in the over populated strips of what land they have left to thrive on in their own country, is enough to insight hatred in anyone. This is not to say that Neo-Nazis are justified under any circumstance. The point I'm trying to get at is the apparent victim complex which seems to run through all things Israeli. Their tendancy to jump on the band wagon of wronged every time there is some sort of injustice going on.

Let's get this straight: Neo-Nazis hate Africans, gays, Asians and all Semite cultures (which encapsulates much of the Arab world). The article itself mentions an episode in which cell members attacked a Thai worker, a homeless man and gays. This is not a predominantly Jewish problem, why do they make it one?

What pisses me off most is the fact that this story got a double page spread. The efforts of our media to sensationalise unimportant stories while greater world issues go ignored, borders on the deceptive. I feel like I'm being fed snippets of tailor made reality to divert attention from something worse. Something like the cries of Palestinian children who just want to 'go home', which fail to penetrate our press. More shocking and news-worthy is the Israeli government’s immunity to the Geneva Convention, and their ability to evade being held accountable for apartheid, oppression and genocide of innocents, in a world where the Super-Powers-That-Be are all too ready to wage war against countries which are guilty of nothing but alleged ownership of mass destructive weapons which never materialise. Why does no one have anything to say about this? We see the injustice, why are we still sitting on our hands?

To set the mood for what crap follows, Eric opens his article with something that goes like this: 'Israel was founded six decades ago to ensure that Jews would never suffer another Holocaust.' Spare us the pity-party pal, the 'noble' reason for the founding of Israel was lost the moment the first drop of innocent Palestinian blood was spilt. Stop leeching off the backs of Holocaust victims for sympathy you do not deserve. You do not own their suffering, so don't defile their memory with your cause. It is despicable how nonchalantly people can speak about the Holocaust, when they have forgotten what the Holocaust was. And that is exactly what is wrong with Zionists, because if anyone still remembered the atrocity and injustice committed against the innocent Jews of World War II, they would never let it happen again to anyone.

I spit on your world view.
