According to one report, Israeli authorities have acquired 500 sniper rifles for distribution to West Bank Jewish settlers. It looks like the warning being sounded here should be taken seriously. Israel is doing what it has always done–violence and war crimes–and now it’s accelerating on a massive scale down an ever darkening spiral of crimes against humanity. Israeli society has become a place of self-multiplying vortices of hate and malice. I would not want my Jewish nieces and grand nieces to call such a place home, nor even to live in such a place.
