1/ Good riddance #AmosOz.
Oz was a leading apologist for mass-murder and #apartheid - all in the name of peace of course.
Below is a letter by authors and self-proclaimed leftists Amos Oz and A.B. Yehoshua, which was sent in April 2010 to the UC Berkeley student senate.

2/ The two have the gull to blame the Berkeley students of antisemitism, or at the very least allude to that, coz the student senate had voted to divest from American companies General Electric and United Technologies that supplied #apartheid Israel

3/ with the means of destruction that were used during its assault on #Gaza the year before - massacring 1400 people, including over 350 children. The two low-lives, Oz and Yehoshua, blamed the students of antisemitism for what exactly?!

4/ For refusing to fund two American weapon manufacturers whose war machines were used for the massacre of children in the besieged #Gaza ghetto. In a way, their propaganda letter could not have been a more sinister & grotesque creation. Maybe they’re talented writers after all!

5/ Want another of many such examples?
As a dedicated apologist for Israeli mass-murder, #Oz begins the Deutsche Welle interview of 2014, during another onslaught on #Gaza, with these outrageous lies:

6/ Amos Oz: I would like to begin the interview in a very unusual way: by presenting one or two questions to your readers and listeners. May I do that?
Deutsche Welle: Go ahead!
Amos Oz: Question 1: What would you do if your neighbor across the street sits down on the balcony,

7/ puts his little boy on his lap and starts shooting machine gun fire into your nursery?
Amos Oz: Question 2: What would you do if your neighbor across the street digs a tunnel from his nursery to your nursery in order to blow up your home or in order to kidnap your family?

8/ These are your peaceniks, Israel. Their sheer supremacy and moral depravity will not be missed.
NOTE: If you were offended by the above text - still desperately clinging on to the notion that Oz represents the good side of humanity -

9/ ask yourself whether you’d be upset w/ writing about the demise of an outright fascist? Oz and his ilk represent, as far as I’m concerned, a far greater danger than the Liebermans & Netanyahus of the world, and your attempt to see him as any different exactly proves my point.

The Prophet Amos Oz Was the Last of the Moral Zionists

Amos railed against the occupation from the very beginning, even if he took a symmetrical approach to the Israelis and Palestinians – a symmetry that never existed
