THE main target of Benjamin Netan-yahu, the narcissist, Zionist, murderer of humanity, is the mass displacement of millions of completely innocent Palestinians under the guise of eliminating so-called militants. This is ludicrous and preposterous as it clearly contravenes all international and humanitarian laws.

The ‘Israel at war’ banner headlines running across Western newspapers is another blatant fallacy since what army, navy or air force do Hamas or Palestinians have? None. What arsenal of weapons, what squadrons of modern fighter jets or an armada of a fleet of frigates, destroyers and cruisers does the rag-tag Hamas have? None. So, how is that a war? Hamas’s sole capability is that of shooting improvised rockets and missiles. It has all the intention to fight back against the injustice done to its people, but it has absolutely nothing beyond that. All it has is a legally justified intention.

Rules of war demand that civilians must be protected; not tortured. Women and children as well as the infants and the elderly are all under the ‘protected’ category. Is Israel doing any such thing. No. It is specifically targeting such segments of population. And, of course, all this is happening with the blessings of the mighty United States and its allies in the West.

Will the International Criminal Court (ICC) form a special tribunal to try Netanyahu just as it had done to put on trial Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic for the genocidal crimes that were committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

What about the aiders and abettors? These would include the like of Joe Biden and Antony Blinken. This is surely not a likely scenario as the high and mighty know how to bulldoze such attempts. If the US can blatantly and shamelessly veto peaceful resolutions at the United Nations merely calling for a ceasefire, just imagine what it would do in case the world joins hands to put Biden on trial.

The megalomaniac Netanyahu’s mis- adventure is actually nothing more than a barbaric attempt to plant the star of Zion in Arab lands.

The so-called ‘greater Israel’ is the only target that fascinates him and those of his ilk. This is nothing short of a wishful fantasy and a psychopatho-logical delusion of the kind that Adolf Hitler had. Someone has to control the crazy before he takes the world hostage like Hitler had done.
