Israel’s notorious Border Police is a combination of the Nazi SS and Brownshirts, in its brutality and thuggishness. It is a death squad masquerading as a police force. This week in Jenin, it proved true to its reputation, when it summarily executed two Palestinian suspected resistance fighters who surrendered to them. They emerged with hands raised and unarmed…and were murdered at point blank range.
The assassin shoved the victims back into a garage, thinking no one would see the murders he was about to commit. But a Palestinian video camera captured the execution. Now the world can see the murderers for what they are.
In Israel, this is barely a blip on the media radar. The video of the incident circulates on social media. But the only Israelis interested in, or concerned about it are the few bleeding hearts remaining in a country that has doused itself in genocidal hatred and murder.
Unfortunately, events like this are no longer news. In the aftermath of 100,000 Gaza dead and 1,000 West Bank Palestinians murdered along with the systematic eradication of 25 villages, the murder of two men is the equivalent of old news.
But I can add an element not reported in any media coverage of this story. An Israeli security source tells me that his agency was enraged at the murders because the suspects could have provided important intelligence to them. Thus their murder satisfied the blood lust of the killers, but destroyed the far more valuable human resource that living suspects could have provided.
The Border Police Reichsführer-SS, Itamar Ben Gvir, was delighted with the murders and praised his underlings for performing their duties so well.
Israel has become a Judeo-Nazi state, whose police force doesn’t police anything. Describing it as a mafia crew is far too benign. The mafia has a code of honor, as twisted as it might be. The only code of the Border Police is wholesale murder. It, and the nation it serves are dripping in the blood of Palestinians. While the consciences of Israelis are buffeted by the faintest of breezes, if at all.
When a former IDF chief of staff was asked–after an attack which he had approved resulted in the murder of children–whether he felt any pangs of conscience, he replied: ““What do I feel when I drop a bomb? – a slight bump to the wing of [the] plane as the bomb drops.” Israel has no bumps of conscience at all. It is a nation of soccer hooligans and cold-blooded assassins baying for Palestinian blood.
“An Israeli security source tells me that his agency was enraged at the murders because the suspects could have provided important intelligence to them.”
Why kill them when they can be tortured?
Except for a handful of decent Israeli Jews, the rest have long since bought their Brown Shirts, nothing done by Israelis should shock anyone but the most wailfully naive.
Shocking. Who needs further proof?
It’s time for consequences, or the West will remain a hypocritical accomplice forever.
