Just when you thought Israel couldn’t be any more evil, yesterday we learned that thousands of babies are set to perish under its ruthless writ in Gaza. Fourteen thousand to be precise. All in the next 48 hours. Thousands of innocent lives snuffed out as the Jewish State, that most wicked of states, looks the other way. Now we know, the cry went up, just how barbarous the State of Israel can be.
Israelophobia is out of control. It is the most dangerous bigotry of our times
This story spread like a pox through the internet yesterday. It infected influencers everywhere. Everywhere you looked you’d see those cruel numbers – ‘14,000 babies’ and ‘48 hours’. ‘Nazi scum Israel’, the mob wailed. No one can deny it now, the virtuous cried: Israel slays babies for sport.
Politicians cited the coming grim death toll. Israel must let in humanitarian aid right now, they said, in order that those 14,000 souls might be saved.
