Bulldozer Israel

Israel now wants to bulldoze the house of the man who bulldozed cars, injured pedestrian, and killed two before being shot by an Israeli. Jerusalem is intent in pursuing as it always has the code of Hannurabi--an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Which will throw out on to the streets of east or Arab Jerusalem an extended family of the elderly, women, and children, and other relatives of the dead man. Of course, the irony is lost on the feckless press which not only excuses Israel's brutal policies towards Palestinians but also uses the bulldozer to main and kill and destroy property and the land Palestinians use to cultivate olive groves, orange groves, and raise food, and yes denying pasture land to goats. The irony of moment has not escaped the eye of 18Brumaire who already has commented on the use of the bulldozer by a disgruntled Israeli Arab on the heavy Zionist hand which is denying equality of treatment not only to its own Arab citizens but to the Palestinians living under the steel heel of occupation which is pushing them into bantustans a l'afrique du sud. Irony upon irony which conventional opinion in the media gladly turns a blind eye to. For all its might and swagger and sway, the Zionist state is as fragile as delicate Venitian glassware, and one sharp movement, it fractures. And Israel is fracturing internally, beset as it is by corruption and malfeasance and the logic of its own racialist ideology, and externally as it sees its power shrivel as the bully with a bulldozer in the Middle East.
