The BBC reports:
Israeli leaders are warning of an imminent conflagration in Gaza after Palestinian militants aimed rockets at the southern city of Ashkelon.The deputy defence minister said the stepped-up rocket fire would trigger what he called a “bigger holocaust” in the Hamas-controlled coastal strip.
The use of the word “holocaust” by an Israeli minister, in this context, is completely extraordinary, and will make every idiot who suggests Israel conducts a policy of “genocide” towards Palestinians feel vindicated.
It’s a grotesque incident. If this is true, the minister should be sacked immediately.
