Genocide is mainstream culture in Israel, genocide in the cruelest most barbaric ways possible. It is hands-on genocide where an entire people, men, women, children, elderly, disabled, blind, deaf, doctors, nurses, premature babies are legitimate targets, not just for death but death by multiple levels of savagery and humiliation. Even in their last moments of crushed and mangled life they are not left in peace - their barely-alive bodies are driven over by tanks, bulldozers, their last breath a notch on the wall of interminable bloodletting.
