[quote=jsteele]The Israeli Press appears to have a problem on its hands. Yesterday, I linked to two Times of Israel blog posts calling for the genocide of the Palestinians (one explicitly and one using "allegory"). Today, an op-ed calling for ethnically cleansing Gaza is being run on the Jerusalem Post website:

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Into-the-fray-Why-Gaza-must-go-368862

"The only durable solution requires dismantling Gaza, humanitarian relocation of the non-belligerent Arab population, and extension of Israeli sovereignty over the region."

"Former US President Herbert Hoover, dubbed the 'Great Humanitarian' for his efforts to relieve famine in Europe after WWI, wrote in The Problems of Lasting Peace: 'Consideration should be given even to the heroic remedy of transfer of populations...the hardship of moving is great, but it is [still] less than the constant suffering of minorities and the constant recurrence of war.'

"How could anyone, with any degree of compassion and humanity, disagree?"

I understand that side side has extremists who say crazy things. But, these things are being published on major Israeli media sites. The second Times of Israel blog post is still online and, apparently, acceptable to the editors who removed the earlier post.
