ISRAELI COMMANDER’S CHILLING WORDS

‘We will not know victory until we destroy Gaza,’ said David Portal, an Israeli major commander under the Gaza division, in this chilling video posted online shortly after the 7 Octobeescalation began. ‘The moral thing is to destroy them. The moral thing is to expel them. How the [Jewish holy book] Torah says not to leave anyone remaining?’

So far, Israel has k*lled more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. However, a Lancet medical journal report estimated in early July that the death toll was more than 186,000 people.

In the video, he repeated the claim often used to support Israel’s occupation of Palestine and its current onslaught on the Gaza Strip: All Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are related to H*mas militants, and, therefore, everybody in the enclave is guilty.

Such words coming from someone directing troops on the ground in Gaza explain why international laws that protect civilians are not being applied. Reports of r*pe, ab*se, t*rture, illegal imprisonment and prison k*llings abound.
