From Neil Clark:
In an attack which shocked Tel Aviv by the harshness of its tone, Switzerland has accused Israel of wantonly destroying Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem and near Ramallah in violation of the Geneva Convention’s rules on military occupation.
It’s arguably the strongest condemnation of Israeli policy towards the Palestinians to come from any western European country since Charles de Gaulle famously attacked the “oppression, repression and expulsions” of Palestinians by Israel over 40 years ago. And it’s come from a country that’s not exactly famous for making strong condemnations. – Link

And this “admirable” condemnation” from a country that stole millions of dollars from desperate Jews, and collaborated with the Nazis while being “neutral”. Cute, I love integrity and standing up for something worthwhile. You are all so obsessed with the Israeli occupation and “carnage” when 750 Palestinians are killed in a retaliation for Israel being constantly attacked, but lie completely silent, or at least without much movement, when millions of Sudanese, Congolese, and other Africans, are killed like flies and nothing is done. Have you people no sense of proportion? It’s shameful how much energy you waste with Israel, and put nothing toward the real catastrophes of this planet. It makes one wonder what motivates you…Hatred for Jews, or for Africans?
