the author pleads with Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza

Ms Dana Erlich

Israeli Ambassador to Ireland

Dear Ambassador

Having tried to contact you numerous times this morning without success, I must now express in writing my views on the subject matter I wished to discuss with you.

I have already written to you about the ongoing massacre in Gaza and have expressed my distress and horror at same. Since I wrote, the killings of unarmed citizens and the destruction of habitable buildings by the IDF has not abated: it has exponentially increased.

The IDF, backed by your Israeli government, have relentlessly and inhumanely rooted out the people of Gaza from their homes and dwellings and bomb shelters only to be slaughtered by the Israeli army in a different place within Gaza.

I am not afraid to accuse you of deploying the same Nazi tactics on Palestinians that Adolf Hitler and his Nazis used on your ancestors in the 1930s. As a very dear Jewish friend of mine said at a Dublin rally "We were never told that NEVER AGAIN did not apply to Palestinians, - but only to Jewish people."

One of the latest atrocities has been the monstrous killing in cold blood of a 6 year old girl, Hind Rajab in a suburb of the strip's capital. The whole world has now heard the voice of a child pleading with the Red Crescent to come and save her from the IDF whose tank was driving alongside her. The whole world heard the ratatatatat that silenced the child's voice forever. The world has now learned that her body, the bodies of five extended family members who had been in the car, along with the two bodies of her would be rescuers, have been found near the wrecked car. Is this your idea of doing everything in your power to prevent the genocide of which South Africa has accused you before the International Court of Justice?

All of Israel's atrocities are paid for with US government money.

Please don't insult us by coming on our national radio trying to justify all of Israel's atrocities with specious arguments. Your efforts today were disappointing and pathetic.

With best personal wishes

Justin Morahan
