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
    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.

  • HAMAS SPOKESMAN ADMITS GAZAN CIVILIANS "WILLING" TO SACRIFICE FOR THE CAUSE AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE.
  • Ratio of civilian deaths in Israeli attacks MUCH LOWER than that in other wars.  For example in Kosovo it was 4:1, in Afghanistan 3:1, Global Average 3:1 - in Gaza is 1:1

EN AQUEL TIEMPO.Historia de un chileno durante: HUNEEUS,PabloI 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?

ON THIS PAGE:
  • Polish reporter's witness account of Hamas launching rockets from crowded civilian areas in order to use Arab civilian casualties as anti-Israel propaganda.
  • Map of Gaza showing the many empty areas in the region.  They are not used for rocket launching precisely because there are no civilians for human shield use.
  • Links to other foreign correspondents' reports of Hamas use of human shields
  • Daily Mail report of Hamas ADMITTING they use human shields.
  • IDF found Hamas' own urban warfare manual recommending the use of human shields
  • Thousands of Arabs expelled from their homes at the Gaza-Egypt border and their houses destroyed BY EGYPT because of jihadi activity.  The media ignores it because they can't blame Israel.
  • The plight of thousands of Palestinians in Yarmouk, Syria.  Blockaded by Assad, starving, victimized by ISIS.  The media ignores it because they can't blame Israel.
  • Ex AP correspondent exposes widespread bias in international reporting from Israel and Gaza.

I Saw Hamas' Cruel and Selfish Game in Gaza
By Wojciech Cegielski
 
Polish reporter Wojciech Cegielski spent a month in Gaza during last summer's war. He has no doubt Hamas used people as human shields.
A man drove up in a pickup to our tiny street. He placed a rocket launcher outside and fired. But the rocket failed to go upwards and flew along the street at ground level for a long time before destroying a building. It was a miracle that nobody was hurt or killed.   
When we calmed down, we started to analyze the situation. It became obvious that the man or his supervisor wanted the Israel Defense Forces to destroy civilian houses, which our tiny street was full of. Whoever it was, Hamas, Iz al-Din al-Qassam or others, they knew that the IDF can strike back at the same place from which the rocket was fired.

I spent a month in Gaza during Operation Protective Edge. It was one of the worst and deadliest months I have seen in my life.

The reality there was much more complicated than was seen from a safe distance in Europe or the United States.

Yes, Israel bombed Palestinian houses in Gaza. But Hamas is also to blame for its cruel and selfish game against its own people.

First incident:

The first incident happened late in the evening. I was in the bathroom when I’ve heard a loud rocket noise and my Spanish colleague, a journalist who was renting a flat with me near the Gaza beach, started to scream.
