In his recent address to the Israeli Knesset, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip is “a war between forces of light and forces of darkness, between humanity and animalism,” and even compared Hamas to Nazis.With the Israeli strikes against the Gaza Strip already claiming some 2,750 Palestinian lives, according to the local health officials, it would appear the Israeli prime minister is “justifying this colossal response in terms of a familiar evil,” says independent media analyst professor Ellis Cashmore.
