The ‘Desaparecidos’ of Palestine: Gantz Escalates Israel’s War on the Dead

• The ‘Desaparecidos’ of Palestine: Gantz Escalates Israel’s War on the Dead
  by Ramzy Baroud, RamzyBaroud, https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/
  On September 2, the Israeli government approved a proposal that allows the military to indefinitely withhold the bodies of Palestinians who have been killed by the Israeli army. The proposal was made by the country’s Defense Minister, Benny Gantz.
  –
  Gantz is the main political rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also serves the role of the ‘alternate Prime Minister.’ If Netanyahu does not renege on the coalition government agreement he signed with Gantz’s Blue and White Party last April, Gantz will take the helm of Israel’s leadership, starting November 2021.
  –
  Since his official induction to the tumultuous world of Israeli politics, Gantz, supposedly a ‘centrist’, has adopted hawkish stances against Palestinians, especially those in Gaza. This way, he hopes to widen his appeal to Israeli voters, the majority of whom have migrated en-masse to the Right.
  –
  But Gantz’s latest ‘achievement’, that of denying dead Palestinians a proper burial, is not entirely a novel idea. In fact, in Israel, bargaining with corpses has been the modus operandi for decades.
  –
  According to the Defense Minister’s logic, the withholding of bodies will serve as a ‘deterrent against terror attacks.’ However, judging by the fact that the practice has been in use for many years, there is no proof that Palestinians were ever discouraged from resisting Israel’s military occupation due to such strategies.
  –
  The new policy, according to Israeli officials, is different from the previous practices. While in the past, Israel has only kept the bodies of alleged ‘Palestinian attackers’ who belonged to ‘terror groups’, the latest decision by the Israeli government would extend the rule to apply to all Palestinians, even those who have no political affiliations.

• Ready for Execution: The Former Israeli General and his Quest for a New Gaza War
  by https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/
  Benny Gantz, the leader of Israel’s newly-founded Kahol Lavan – the Blue and White Party – is the rising star of Israeli politics. The fact that he has the opportunity to finally oust long-serving Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, speaks volumes about the appeal of his political message, his charisma, and his growing credibility among many social sectors in Israel.
  –
  Gantz’s rival, Netanyahu, is a polarizing character in Israel, as well as in the United States.
  –
  ‘Bibi’s’ special relationship with the American President, Donald Trump, made him either loved or hated by most Americans. According to a February 2017  Gallup poll, 65% of all Republicans view Netanyahu favorably, while only 18% of Democrats share that view.
  –
  But Netanyahu is not just the archetypical, devious and self-serving politician, he is able to inflict immense damage as well. He has launched major wars on Gaza and used military force, and blockades on civilian populations to serve his own limited political agenda and to simply garner votes. While avowedly racist, Netanyahu’s racism often flares during election seasons to galvanize his ardent far-right supporters.
  …
  However, enthusiasm to see the end of the sinister Netanyahu legacy may blind some from understanding that a Gantz-led government does not necessarily signal a shift in Israeli politics, neither in Gaza nor anywhere else.
  –
  As a former chief of general staff of the Israeli army, Gantz orchestrated the destructive war on the besieged Gaza Strip in 2014. Despite the heavy death toll, he showed no remorse. Instead, in a campaign video clip in January 2019, he boasted about sending “parts of Gaza back to the Stone Age”.
  –
  Indeed, Gantz oversaw the systematic annihilation of the besieged Gaza region, which resulted in the deaths of over 2,200 Palestinians and the destruction of 18,000 housing units.
  –
  Despite his violent pledge, Gantz failed to achieve the needed votes to form a government in the April 2019 elections. That was followed by Netanyahu’s failure to unify the ranks of his rightwing coalition which ultimately led to holding yet another general election in September.
  –
  To bolster his image as a strong Israeli leader, worthy of the people’s trust, Gantz promised in August that the next round of war against Gaza will be the “final round”.
  –
  “We do not intend to let deterrence continue to be eroded; we do not intend to allow this model of another round and another round and another kite and another missile and another thing to continue,” Gantz said during a visit to the fence separating besieged Gaza from Israel. “The next time something happens here, we will make sure that it’s the final round,” he said.
  –
  The Israeli daily, Haaretz, reported that “Gantz further said that if another conflict erupts while he is prime minister, the military would move to kill all of Hamas’ leadership”. Judging by his constant references to the subject, Gantz appears genuinely obsessed with killing and destroying, with Gaza featuring constantly and prominently in his violent language.
  –
  Now that Gantz is in the throes of government formation, he is desperate to win the support of as many Israeli members of the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) as possible.  Expectedly, Gantz unleashed his political venom on Gaza, yet again.
  –
  “A government led by me will not bear a threat against the residents in the south and will not accept undermining Israel’s sovereignty,” he wrote on Twitter on November 2. “We will return deterrence with any cost, even if we are obliged to kill those who lead the escalations.”
  –
  It could be argued that Gantz’s violent attitude towards Palestinians is simply equal to that of Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. However, one important difference makes Gantz even more dangerous. If the former general becomes Israel’s prime minister, he would take office with so much to prove, a reputation to garner and uphold, and numerous violent promises to fulfill.

• “In 2001, Dr. Ariella Oppenheim, of Hebrew University, a biologist, published the first extensive study of DNA and the origin of the Jews. Her research found that virtually all the Jews came from Khazar blood. Not only that but Oppenheim discovered that the Palestinians—the very people whom the Jews had been persecuting and ejecting from Israel’s land since 1948—had more Israelite blood than did the Jews. In sum, the vast majority of the Jews were not Jews; some of the Palestinians were. Some of the Palestinians even had a DNA chromosome which established that they were “Cohens”—workers at the ancient Temple and synagogues of the Jews.” – Quote

• Mr. Benjamin Freedman, a Jewish industrialist born in New York, wrote in the Economic Council Letter published there of October 15 1947: “These Eastern European Jews have neither a racial nor a historic connection with Palestine. Their ancestors were not inhabitants of the Promised Land. They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom. The Khazars were a non-Semitic, Turko-Mongolian tribe.” Mr. Freedman was challenged, unwisely, by a Zionist objector; he invited his challenger to go with him to the Jewish room of the New York Public Library. There they could together examine the Jewish Encyclopedia volume I pp. 1-12, and the published works of Graetz, Dubnow, Friedlander, Raisin and many other noted Jewish historians, which, as well as other non-Jewish authorities, “establish the fact beyond all possible doubt”.’
  ~ Somewhere South of Suez (1950) pp349-350.”
