Mike Malloy - Wood Chips: The Slaughter Of The Innocent



David Harris Gershon’s current Rec Listed diary discusses an Israeli pilot dismissing the killing of Palestinian women and children with the phrase “When you chop wood, chips fly.” When the interviewer informed the pilot that he was quoting Joseph Stalin, the pilot was appropriately “shocked” and asked that the quote to be deleted.

I am glad that the quote was not deleted. For its use and the subsequent shock it induced encapsulates just how far down the rabbit hole the thinking driving Israeli policy is when it comes to dehumanizing Palestinians.

Mike reads names of a few of the dead "wood chips".
