Genocidal spirituality in Israel: "Spiritual people who view the annihilation of the other as a form of personal growth and the eradication of the enemy as empowerment. The desire to annihilate and destroy millions of people... With great love."

"Genocide has two phases: destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; & the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain, or upon the territory alone, after removal of the population" (Lemkin)

Goldstone Report (2009): that "argument that Israel should “put pressure” on Hamas by targeting civilian infrastructure to attain its war aims... is a dangerous argument that should be vigorously rejected as incompatible with the cardinal principle of distinction."
