Economic sanctions now: the EU is Israel’s largest investor

The leader of the Jewish Combat Organization during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising would have died of shame and disgrace at hearing the defense minister’s plans – with the full backing of the prime minister – to erect a “humanitarian city” in the southern Gaza Strip. Anielewicz would never have believed that anyone would dare conceive of such a diabolical plan 80 years after the Holocaust.
