Former Zionist minister accuses army of carrying out genocide against Palestinians Al-Khalil, March 8, IRNA -- A former Zionist minister of education has castigated Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, accusing the Israeli army of murdering innocent Palestinian civilians under cover of righteousness. Shulamit Aloni, founder of the liberal Meretz Party, argued in an article published in the Israeli Hebrew daily Ma'ariv Friday that the Israeli army was killing Palestinians nonchalantly and committing crimes against humanity on a daily basis. "How is it possible to explain the expulsion of citizens from their homes at three o'clock in the morning on a rainy day, then depositing bombs in the house and then departing without warning? And when those expelled returned to their home, the bombs were exploded and a brutal murder and destruction of property was thus committed." Aloni argued that the Israeli army was committing incalculable crimes against humanity against the Palestinians while claiming that this is done within the framework of the law. "Curfew, closure, brutality, murder, destruction of homes of suspects, while we keep parroting the incantation that a person is innocent until proven otherwise." The former minister pointed out that the present Zionist regime of Ariel Sharon was conducting ethnic cleansing and even genocide. "They (Israeli troops) enter a village, they kill, they destroy and they arrest, and then they retreat. Those who remain on the ashes and the ruins will take care of themselves." She accused the regime of obfuscating its crimes against the Palestinians through a smoke screen of lies and misleading public relations. "Of course with our self-righteousness, with our self-adoration in our Jewish ethics we make sure to advertise how beautifully the doctors take care of Palestinian victims in the hospitals. We don't advertise how many of those are executed in cold blood in their own homes." Finally, Aloni pointed out that Israeli children were being indoctrinated in hatred of Arabs and Palestinians, citing an example of a rabbi who wrote an article in which he advocated genocide against Palestinians. irna.com
