Blog post advocating 'Gaza genocide' removed from Times of Israel website

Schnookums · 2 авг 2014

The Times of Israel and the 5 Towns Jewish Times removed a blog post from their websites calling for the consideration of genocide as an option in the Gaza conflict. The Times of Israel also dropped the blogger.

In his blog post, titled "When genocide is permissible," Yochanan Gordon called for a consideration of the argument that Israel would never obtain quiet until it had committed genocide in the Gaza Strip. “If political leaders and military experts determine that the only way to achieve its goal of sustaining quiet is through genocide is it then permissible to achieve those responsible goals?” Gordon wrote in the article, which was posted on both sites on Friday.

The Times of Israel removed the post within hours of its posting and published an article in which it said it "will not countenance blog posts that incite to violence or criminal acts."

“The blog post, which was both damnable and ignorant, was uploaded by a blogger,” Miriam Herschlag, the Times of Israel op-ed editor, said in an email. “It was removed by the Times of Israel for breaching our editorial guidelines. The blog has been discontinued.”

The blogger in a note to JTA apologized for the entry.

“I wish to express deep regret and beg forgiveness for an article I authored which was posted on 5TJT.com, Times of Israel and tweeted and shared the world over,” Yochanan Gordon said in an email to JTA.

“I never intended to call to harm any people although my words may have conveyed that message,” he said.

“With that said I pray and hope for a quick peaceful end to the hostilities and that all people learn to coexist with each other in creating a better world for us all.”

Yet, the author tweeted that he is disappointed in the Times of Israel for "caving to pressure" and deleting his post.

Judging by the numbers of casualties on both sides in this almost one-month old war one would be led to the conclusion that Israel has resorted to disproportionate means in fighting a far less- capable enemy. That is as far as what meets the eye. But, it's now obvious that the US and the UN are completely out of touch with the nature of this foe and are therefore not qualified to dictate or enforce the rules of this war - because when it comes to terror there is much more than meets the eye.

I wasn't aware of this, but it seems that the nature of warfare has undergone a major shift over the years. Where wars were usually waged to defeat the opposing side, today it seems - and judging by the number of foul calls it would indicate - that today's wars are fought to a draw. I mean, whoever heard of a timeout in war? An NBA Basketball game allows six timeouts for each team during the course of a game, but last I checked this is a war! We are at war with an enemy whose charter calls for the annihilation of our people. Nothing, then, can be considered disproportionate when we are fighting for our very right to live.

The sad reality is that Israel gets it, but its hands are being tied by world leaders who over the past six years have insisted they are such good friends with the Jewish state, that they know more regarding its interests than even they do. But there's going to have to come a time where Israel feels threatened enough where it has no other choice but to defy international warnings - because this is life or death.

Most of the reports coming from Gazan officials and leaders since the start of this operation have been either largely exaggerated or patently false. The truth is, it's not their fault, falsehood and deceit is part of the very fabric of who they are and that will never change. Still however, despite their propensity to lie, when your enemy tells you that they are bent on your destruction you believe them. Similarly, when Khaled Meshal declares that no physical damage to Gaza will dampen their morale or weaken their resolve - they have to be believed. Our sage Gedalia the son of Achikam was given intelligence that Yishmael Ben Nesanyah was plotting to kill him. However, in his piety or rather naiveté Gedalia dismissed the report as a random act of gossip and paid no attention to it. To this day, the day following Rosh Hashana is commemorated as a fast day in the memory of Gedalia who was killed in cold blood on the second day of Rosh Hashana during the meal. They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over. History is there to teach us lessons and the lesson here is that when your enemy swears to destroy you - you take him seriously.

Hamas has stated forthrightly that it idealizes death as much as Israel celebrates life. What other way then is there to deal with an enemy of this nature other than obliterate them completely?

News anchors such as those from CNN, BBC and Al-Jazeera have not missed an opportunity to point out the majority of innocent civilians who have lost their lives as a result of this war. But anyone who lives with rocket launchers installed or terror tunnels burrowed in or around the vicinity of their home cannot be considered an innocent civilian. If you'll counter, that Hamas has been seen abusing civilians who have attempted to leave their homes in response to Israeli warnings to leave - well then, your beginning to come to terms with the nature of this enemy which should automatically cause the rules of standard warfare to be suspended.

Everyone agrees that Israel has the right to defend itself as well as the right to exercise that right. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has declared it, Obama and Kerry have clearly stated that no one could be expected to sit idle as thousands of rockets rain down on the heads of its citizens, placing them in clear and present danger. It seems then that the only point of contention is regarding the measure of punishment meted out in this situation.

I will conclude with a question for all the humanitarians out there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly stated at the outset of this incursion that his objective is to restore a sustainable quiet for the citizens of Israel. We have already established that it is the responsibility of every government to ensure the safety and security of its people. If political leaders and military experts determine that the only way to achieve its goal of sustaining quiet is through genocide is it then permissible to achieve those responsible goals?

Oh, I agree. I just want them to stop doing it on my dime. If they have to beat eachother to death with sticks due to lack of nice US proprietary technology and international food/medical aid traded for Soviet surplus weapons, all the better. Televise it and sell merchandise.

fuck, I'd buy a ringside seat for that

personally I imagine the gaza conflict a bit like a boxing match gone seriously wrong- something like this....

" Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this middle eastern fight night special! tonights fight is for the gaza strip title belt and is being contested between two utterly dedicated fighters. this is a long standing grudge match and spectators will no doubt be itching to see a conclusion to this batte. anyway, lets not beat about the bush, lets meet our comabants for tonight!

in the red corner we have Palestine and HAMAS, known for their unexpected and explosive attacks, and in the blue corner, the darling of the west, the state of Israel, who specialise in destoying multiple arab armies at once

both teams having a last minute talk before our contestants step into the ring,

*bell sounds*
and here, we go! HAMAS opens with a sudden barrage of SCUD missiles and RPG's but their opponent has been specially equipped to deal with this, the Iron dome defence neutralises the barrage. Israel picks it's shots with their advanced artillery landing a heavy blow there, their shots have blown at least 3 UN run schools up and send their oponents reeling begging for a break in the fighting.

*bell rings*
end of the round here in the mid east, ceasefire time and- wait what's this!? HAMAS has seized their suicide vests and launched a surprise attack on their israeli opponent! it's devastatingly effective against their opponents turned back. this can only be a bad thing here, the israelis have been stung into action and have launched a savage and unrelenting air campaign against their muslim opponents. the israeli contingent clearly have the upper hand here, they're landing blow after blow and it's really a wonder their opposition is still standing. the UN Referee is trying to seperate the two but it seems that they're just too determined to kill one another and not even the most sensible advice will seperate them now. the crowd is clamouring for a stop to the fight but the two still tangle with the jew beating the ever living shit out of the raghead now and there looks like they will be continuing this for a while longer yet..."
