ISIS and ebola just a distraction from the real issue: Gaza ‘genocide’

Now that the Scottish independence referendum has been put to bed, the United States is looking after ebola and ISIS, and the Dail has returned after its much-deserved, long summer break, we must not forget that the real problem of the modern age has not gone away.

A further reminder of this is Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest attempt at excusing the ‘genocide’ in Gaza. He has found a reason for this by linking Hamas with ISIS. He may be correct in the linking, but that is an opportunistic attempt to justify the Gaza onslaught.

There is much sympathy for the Jewish race and the abominable way it was treated during the Holocaust. This, in part, explains the mixed feelings towards the situation in Gaza. However, it is difficult to understand how a people who have suffered enormously can inflict such suffering on their neighbours. It is a Jekyll and Hyde situation.
