Chilean writer found moral equivalence between the Holocaust and Israel's destruction of arsenals and rocket launchers in Gaza.
Key issues on this article:
- Pablo Huneeus is a prolific Chilean writer.
- He reveals a surprisingly lack of knowledge when criticizing Israel.
PABLO HUNEEUS He finds moral equivalence between the Nazi slaughter of millions of innocent Jews, and Israel's defensive war against Gazan terror.- He calls the death of Arab human shields "a Palestinian Holocaust".
- He fails to take into account how the IDF takes extreme care to warn civilians before bombing arsenals and rocket launching sites, purposely located in homes, hospitals and schools.
- There is no occupation of Gaza, since the last Israeli left in 2005.
- There is no Israeli "occupation" in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), since Jews had a civilization in the Land of Israel for thousands of years.
- Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. Arabs are from Arabia, and started the invasion and occupation of the land in the 7th century.
- Accusing Israelis of being occupiers (of their own historical land) is rather ironic, since inhabitants of Chile - Mr Huneeus included - and of all other countries in the Americas are occupiers of Indian land, brutally conquered by European invaders.
- Chile also engaged in a war of conquest in the late 19th century that left Bolivia to this day landlocked and without access to the sea.
- Chile also occupies several islands, among them famous Easter Island, a Polynesian territory far removed from continental Chile.
- Watch video on Hamas training children for war, terror and suicide bombing
- See links to articles on Hamas corruption and their terror war against Israel.

I just started to read a book I picked up about 15 years ago during a trip to Chile. "En Aquel Tiempo," by Pablo Huneeus, is about life in that country during the presidency of Salvador Allende, a government characterized by social strife and economic chaos, eventually toppled by a military coup d'état, and followed by years of dictatorial repression.
Out of curiosity I checked the author's website and his twitter account. His picture reveals a rather handsome man. I began to read some of his articles posted on his website, and then I found this comment from 2009, when comparing the bloody military dictatorship in Chile and Israel's war on Gaza:
Violencia no faltaba, pero nada como el holocausto palestino practicado por Israel semanas atrás, donde mataron a mansalva a más de 500 niños, sin que a la "comunidad internacional" le importe.
Translation: "There was no lack of violence (during the dictatorship) but nothing like the Palestinian Holocaust put in practice by Israel some weeks ago, where they killed more than 500 children, without the "international community" caring about it."
Pablo Huneeus' sense of moral equivalence - The word Holocaust is improperly used here to make a moral equivalence between the Nazi systematic rounding up, enslaving, and gassing of millions of innocent people for just being Jews - and Israel defending itself against relentless Muslim terror from Gaza, with the subsequent UNINTENDED casualties among women and children used by Hamas as human shields.
Israel's retaliation against Gaza came after Muslim terrorists had showered Israeli communities with hundreds of rockets. Although the rockets are rather crude and haven't killed many Israelis, their objective is not to inflict casualties but to unleash terror.
The terror is real, as it forces tens of thousands of Israeli men, women and children to live in constant fear, with only a few seconds to run to the nearest bomb shelter before a rocket hits a school, a home, or a playground. Children, and even adults, suffer from emotional trauma.
And how did this situation come about?

Mr Huneeus criticism of Israel's right to defend itself leads us to another issue that he may not have properly examined so far.

ARE ARABS THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF ISRAEL?
- MUSLIM COLONISTS and Palestinian Arabs' identity theft - The truth about the Arab claim to Jewish land
Scholar Bat Ye'or wrote: “By the early 1800s the Arab population in Palestine was very little (just 246,000) it was in the late 1800s and early 1900s that most Muslim Colonists settled in Palestine because of incentives by the Ottoman Government to resettle displaced Muslim populations because of events such as the Austro-Hungarian Occupation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Crimean War and World War 1.
THE FORGOTTEN REFUGEES
More than half of Israeli Jews have deep roots in the Middle East and a million of them arrived as refugees from persecution and violence in Arab countries.
But Arabs continue to perpetuate the myth that Jews are "European".

Dr. Ammar Dwaik, Director General of the Independent Commission for Human Rights, a Palestinian group, revealed that his group received 782 complaints regarding torture (by Arab authorities) -- 168 in the West Bank and 614 in the Gaza Strip.
In 2005 Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza. The government forced thousands of Jews out of their homes and handed the land over to the Arabs, along with state-of-the art greenhouses so that they could prosper in the agricultural business.
As soon as the Jews departed, the Arabs looted and destroyed the greenhouses and focused their energies on ways of terrorizing the Jews across the border.
At the instance of the US government Gazans held elections - for the first and last time - and chose radical Islamist Hamas to rule over them to this day.
Expatriate Arabs who had returned to Gaza with the dream of making it flourish now that the hated Jews were gone, soon found themselves not only disappointed but frightened by the radical and violent Islamic nature of the regime.
Hamas forced women to wear the hijab, and children to be educated as future terrorists and martyrs. Hamas' summer camps are notorious for training little kids on how to kill Jews, perpetrate acts of terror, blow themselves up, and consider martyrdom as their highest goal in life.
VIDEO - GAZA'S CHILDREN ARMY
Hamas recruited children to build terror and smuggling tunnels. More than a hundred (at last count) of young boys have died in tunnel work accidents, according to Palestinian sources.
The Hamas elite incites Arabs to sacrifice themselves for the cause, but they live lives of luxury, far from danger. During the latest Gaza war they stayed in a friendly Arab country, far from war and destruction.
During war Gazan fighters routinely use civilian buildings, such as schools and hospitals, to store and launch rockets against Israel. This has been well documented by foreign media and admitted by UNRWA, the UN organization that runs schools in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority.
In fact, dead children are a powerful propaganda weapon for the Palestinians, as ideological ammunition aimed at uninformed people and anti-Semites who then accuse Israel of war crimes.
The Israeli government is aware of this, and so it takes excruciatingly careful measures to avoid civilian casualties - even to the point of putting IDF soldiers' lives in unnecessary danger. Many Israeli soldiers have died so that Arabs would live.
It is not to Israel's advantage to recklessly kill Arab children. Israeli authorities even give advance notice by cell phone and other means when a building is going to be hit, so that the IDF can destroy munitions and rocket launchers but not civilians. These practices have led the IDF to be recognized as the most moral military army in the world.
CHILE is that long and narrow country on the left |
What would Chile do? What would Pablo Huneeus do?
Chile, Mr Huneeus's home country, has a tall cordillera to the east protecting it from Argentina. To the west it has the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica to the south. In the north it has the driest desert in the world, and borders with Peru and Bolivia.
Chile, Mr Huneeus's home country, has a tall cordillera to the east protecting it from Argentina. To the west it has the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica to the south. In the north it has the driest desert in the world, and borders with Peru and Bolivia.
So let's imagine there was no Cordillera de los Andes, and that large Chilean communities were only meters away from the border with Argentina.
Let's imagine that Argentinians hated Chileans so much that they wanted to push them into the sea, and that only the Chilean army stood there to prevent a real Holocaust.
What if Argentinians launched thousands of rockets against Chilean civilians and dug tunnels to infiltrate into family gardens and massacre entire families.
What if every time Chileans retaliated the Argentinian fighters took shelter among their children, and if there were casualties, they used gruesome pictures to the media, with the UN and the others in the "international community" demanding a stop to "the cycle of violence".
So, what would Mr Huneeus recommend in a case like that? Complete surrender to the enemy and the acceptance of the loss of his land and a Holocaust against his people?
Urban warfare is not like past wars when armies settled things in the battlefield - army against army - while families were left behind.
Urban warfare is designed to put the most moral army at a disadvantage. The urban fighter knows that collateral damage has enormous propaganda value - particularly in the case of the Jews, when the world is already predisposed to finding fault with Israel no matter what it does.
Mr Huneeus criticism of Israel's right to defend itself leads us to another issue that he may not have properly examined so far.
One of the false accusations against Israel is that it is an occupier of Arab land.
First of all, the Jews have a civilization and a history going back several thousand years in the Land of Israel. It's in history books. It's in the ruins and artifacts that exist all over the land. It's in the continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem and other parts of the country, even after the Roman conquest 2000 years ago.
At that time the Romans murdered thousands of Jews, razed the Jewish Temple, expelled or enslaved much of the population, and renamed Judea and Samaria "Palestine" so as to erase all memory of the Jewish presence there.
Arabs are new arrivals. Islam itself came with the Muslim conquerors in the 7th century. But the population itself was thin and only grew when attracted by jobs as Zionist Jews began draining the swamps and making the desert bloom.

It's Chileans who are occupiers. Chileans are occupiers, being the descendants of European conquerors who usurped the land from indigenous people who had lived there for thousands of years.
It is rather ironic to see critics in the Americas liberally throw accusations of "Israeli occupation" when they themselves are obvious occupiers of Indian land, and not offering any indication of being willing to give the land back.
Furthermore, Chile engaged in the conquest of additional territory during the War of the Pacific in the 19th century, leaving Bolivia without access to the sea.
Chile also occupies Easter Island, a Polynesian island far removed from continental Chile, and claims large swaths of territory in the Antarctica.

In fact, before the State of Israel was born, the term “Palestinians” was used by the Jews to refer to themselves and their organizations.
“The Palestine Post”, the Palestine Foundation Fund, Palestine Airways, and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra were all purely Jewish enterprises.

We first hear of Arabs referred to as “Palestinians” when Yasser Arafat established the “Palestine Liberation Organization” in 1964.
It was only during the 1970s that the newly minted “Palestinians” began to promote their narrative through murder and assassination. The Arabs have justified their attacks as acts of the indigenous people struggling for national liberation.
