Israels mental stability is waning, as the moral imperative shifts the global moral compass from within as well as outside of Palestine occupied lands. The Mental health issues here are obvious, God is a real estate agent.
You can’t ask that! You can’t even think that out loud, at least not in Europe where laws against free speech prevent it. Any criticism or questioning of Israel is likely to get you labeled an “anti-Semite” or pro-Palestinian, and that’s a crime. Just ask the British Parliament. But this is the U.S., so let’s quote active Israeli Army General Golan, who is engaged in exterminating Palestinians. On the eve he gave his honest assessment of what Israel is doing, comparing modern Israel to Nazi Germany (Jewish Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now!)
Solidarity Palestine – The Moral Imperatives Plea to The Global Moral Compass
(May 4, 2016) An Israeli Army general has compared modern-day Israel to “nauseating trends” in 1930s Germany.
The Israeli military’s deputy chief of staff, Major General Yair Golan, made the remarks Wednesday evening on Holocaust Remembrance Day, saying:
“After all, there is nothing simpler and easier than hating the foreigner, there is nothing easier and simpler than arousing fears and intimidating, there is nothing easier and simpler than becoming bestial, forgoing principles and becoming smug.”
Following a firestorm, he was forced to walk back the comments, saying he had not “intended to compare Israel to Nazi Germany.”

Gaza’s Mental-Health Crisis and the Trauma of Permanent War
On the anniversary of the 2014 war, Gaza’s kids are still trying to recover from years of cascading violence.

“The Jews shot me.” I was eating breakfast with 3-year-old Ibrahim Awajah in February 2015, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahia, when he made this proclamation. His father, Kamal Awajah, saw the surprise on my face.
Fadi Abu Shammala in Gaza contributed to this report.
“No, no, you’re the second Ibrahim,” Kamal quickly corrected the small, sandy-haired boy. “It was your brother who was shot, not you.”
The first Ibrahim, 9 years old, had been shot and killed by an Israeli soldier during the 2009 attack on Gaza, which the Israeli military named Operation Cast Lead. His parents and siblings witnessed the killing, along with the demolition of their home. The second Ibrahim, born in 2011, was named after his martyred brother. He has already lived through two massive military campaigns. He has also lived most of his young life in tentlike structures, first while his family’s house was being rebuilt after Operation Cast Lead, and then after it was destroyed again during the summer 2014 war.
In a February 2015 report, UNICEF estimated that nearly 300,000 children—approximately one-third of Gaza’s youth—were still in need of psychological and social support six months after the war.
“The issue is the condition of chronic war, which doesn’t lead to speedy recovery,” said Dr. Elena Chere- panov, a mental-health specialist whose expertise is in collective and cultural trauma. She compares the psychological impact of the violence in Gaza to the public-health crises she’s seen in Chechnya, Liberia, and Abkhazia. “Ongoing war means a really severe and systemic traumatic impact on the community, which permeates all areas of life. There are generations who grow up never having the chance to live in safety or plan for the future, which is crucial for trauma recovery.”
