Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Pedro Almodovar, and other members of the Spanish film industry sent a public letter to the European Union on Tuesday denouncing Israel for “genocide.”

That is the trade mark of Liberals; cheapen and adulterate words as to make them meaningless.

They want to shock you in to believing them with their use of shocking words.

The use of the word GENOCIDE is supposed to shock and fill you with hatred of the Israelis because they are killing Palestinians by the millions (there are millions of Palestinians).

But the reality is that there have been less than two hundred Palestinians killed in the present conflict.

The word Genocide used to mean that a huge number of a people had been killed in an effort of wipe them from the face of the Earth.

In World War Two the Nazis attempted to totally remove the Jewish people from the Face of Europe by either driving them out or killing them.

In the process they killed two thirds of the Jews in Europe and one third of all of the Jews in the world.

To use the word Genocide in the context of the Israel trying to kill off the Palestinians in the West Bank conflict is pure sophistry and adulterates the meaning of the word.

They should be ashamed. But I won’t hold my breath waiting for a published apology.

These actors should be doubly ashamed because it is the stated goal of Hamas to drive out or kill all of the Israelis in the Middle East.
