Prevent Ethnicide

Going where few writers dare to tread, Kathleen and Bill Christison take on the racist underpinnings of Zionism in a long article on Counterpunch.

"What Israel is doing to the Palestinians is not genocide," they conclude. "It is not a holocaust, but it is, unmistakably, ethnicide. It is, unmistakably, racism. Israel worries constantly, and its American friends worry, about the destruction of Israel. We are all made to think always about the existential threat to Israel, to the Jewish people. But the nation in imminent danger of elimination today is not Israel but the Palestinians. Such a policy of national destruction must not be allowed to stand."

Update: In a similarly-themed article, Leila Farsakh addresses whether Israel is "a racist apartheid state" in Le Monde Diplomatique.
