Outside of Israel and its organized supporters in the major Zionist organizations, world public opinion and most experts in international law see the Jewish State’s invasion of Gaza and its systematic attack on civilians and basic infrastructure as a crime against humanity. The purpose of this essay is 4-fold: 1. To identify the nature of the crime – the genocidal character of the armed assault and the sequence leading up to it; 2. To identify the direct perpetrators of the war crimes and their domestic and international accomplices; 3. To explain the ties binding leaders, policymakers, propagandists, accomplices and followers, including their ideologies, material interests and organizational structure which make these crimes not only possible, but met so far with impunity and 4. To identify the larger imperial interests with which Israel allies with the US, and in pursuit of which, the Gaza assault is a horrifying dress rehearsal.

Apartheid is based on the establishment and maintenance of a regime of institutionalized discrimination in which one group dominates others.
Many years ago, Henry Kissinger said that Israel doesn’t have foreign policy. Everything is decided upon inner and personal issues. In the third week of July 2013, an extraordinary example of this truth emerged after Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed to have heard of the European Union guidelines banning EU funding of projects in territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war only after they were approved and published. “You are wrong! He is a wise Jew hiding the truth for political reasons,” some Zionists would exclaim at this point and then add: “Shhh! You are harming the cause!”
