This time Israel has to finish it Fred Zeidman
Israel must "finish the war" otherwise it suggests that Western nations are not going to stand up against the "true enemies of the world", the former chairman of the US Holocaust Memorial council has said.
Fred Zeidman says the "cat and mouse game" between Israel and Palestine should have "finished a long time ago".

GB NewsIn Israel, at least 1,200 people have died and more than 2,900 others have been injured by Hamas forces.
Palestinian authorities said at least 1,055 people have been killed and another 5,184 have been injured in Gaza due to Israeli retaliatory attacks.
Speaking to GB News, Zeidman said: "We're asking the United States, I believe and Great Britain, to stand aside and give us the green light to finish a job that we should have finished a long time ago.
"But under international pressure never could finish. I mean, this time Israel's got to finish it.
"If they don't, again this cat and mouse game continues going on. It is going to show Iran that it's the same that has been throughout history, that the Western nations are not going to stand up against the true enemies of the world as we know it.
"Arguably Russia, China and Iran are the new evil access."

The oil tycoon, added that the massacres are down to "a failure by a lot of people" and "should not happen".
"We're seeing the exact same actions being taken now inside Israel that the Nazis did throughout Eastern Europe during the time of the Holocaust," he said.
"This time, to say we don't have a choice, we always have a choice and the choice is either we do it this time, or we choose to live under this threat, which will come back again, over and over and over again."
The number of United States citizens confirmed killed in the Israel-Hamas war has risen to at least 22, with at least 17 more Americans unaccounted for, says the US Department of State.

Zeidman said: "We're in a different situation here because there are Americans that have been killed and there are Americans that are being held hostage. And so this does not become just a regional issue.
"President Biden's got an obligation to try and save American citizens and arguably to deal with the fact that there is an enemy who has killed Americans, whether they thought they were killing Israelis or they've killed Americans. So he [Biden] has an obligation to the American people to protect them."You may like
