Many people are asking: Since you have built 500 kilometers of tunnels, why haven't you built bomb shelters, where civilians can hide during bombardment?
Mousa Abu Marzouk: We have built the tunnels because we have no other way of protecting ourselves from being targeted and killed. These tunnels are meant to protect us from the airplanes. We are fighting from inside the tunnels. Everybody knows that 75% of the people in the Gaza Strip are refugees, and it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect them. According to the Geneva Convention, it is the responsibility of the occupation to provide them with all the services as long as they are under occupation.
In other words, it's not their job to protect their citizens.
Then whose job is it?
Did Hamas really think Israel would not retaliate for the massacre of October 7th? Did their leadership not give a single thought to what would happen when Israel struck back?
Or are they playing a very long game, using the blood of their own civilians cast into harm's way as a new blood libel for Jew hatred?
Yeah, I think they were.
They were depending on 2000 years of anti-Jewish sentiment lying right beneath the surface to bring out the wide swath of haters who would prefer to see Jews back in the gas chambers.
From the river to the sea is absolutely their plan from the get-go, making sure the blood sacrifice of their own people would be the newest blood libel used to kill Jews, thereby attaining their Jew-free goal.
Baked babies, beheaded babies, raped mothers, tortured grandparents...none of that mattered because, after all, they were just Jews. Dead Palestinian babies, mutilated Muslim children, some live ones used to pose as dead kids...only to get up again for repositioning...hospitals bombed by Islamic Jihad, but blamed on Israel, anything they could stage to make sure all Jews...not necessarily Israelis...take the fall to become the enemy worthy of extermination.
And if that's not gruesome enough, the Hamas 07 October invaders filmed themselves performing atrocities, using victims' cell phones to upload these videos to social media so that families got to watch their loved ones' last moments. Yet, when that same footage is shown in public places , supporters of Hamas, the very people who committed these atrocities, protest and, as at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, brawls ensued outside the venue. I should think those supporters should have been cheering to see their acts of depravity shown to the world.
Silly me.
Those same people talk about ethnic cleansing. Wanna know what's ethnic cleansing? That's when people of one culture/religion/color are forced to leave the place where they've lived for 2500 years. Maybe that question should be directed at the countries that make up the Arab world. |

At the same time, Israeli Arabs are fully Israeli citizens, serving in the IDF, in the police force, as members of Knesset, as doctors, heads of hospitals, lawyers, supreme court justices, voting in elections, establishing political blocs government, getting health care, education, power, water, and passports just like any other Israeli citizen..Jew, Christian, Muslim, Druze, Bahá’í , whatever. Oh, and Gay Pride is a really big deal in Tel Aviv...and no one even gets thrown off a rooftop for being gay.
For the record, Israel is a democracy. It is the only functional democracy in the Middle East.
According to Hamas's charter, Jews are not permitted to live in Palestine and most of the other Arab states. Israelis can visit, but they cannot establish residency. That more closely resembles apartheid.
The point is, these comments and protests about Israel were just waiting to be said.The people always malign Israel and support the other ones.This is nothing new.It's just another horrible thing that happened to open up the mouths of all of those who already know what they want to say about Israel. UNRWA is a dispicable organization .I am sorry for the "Palestinians who died, especially the children,the babies in the hospitals, but these"Arabs" and that's who the" Palestinians" are, should have been helped by other Arabs to get rid of Hamas long ago.Did they do that? No, because they knew eventually Hamas would attack Israel this war would pursue and many would die and Israel would be blamed.It's always this way.Why wasn't it expected again?Hamas are like rats in their tunnels.Rats come out in the open and are beter than Hamas.Cowards is a better name for the people who let other "Arab" die so Israel can get the blame.
ReplyDeleteMy mother' was one of those expelled from Egypt, her passport was stamped "No Return." She and her mother were allowed one bag, so the story goes. (Oddly they also got out a giant persian rug that had been in the family for a couple generations. Weird)
ReplyDeleteShe only returned to Egypt once, in the 90's, on a tour and said to me afterwards, "don't ever go there, it's not worth it."
In another interview with Hamas the leadership said the purpose of the attacks of Oct 7 was because their cause getting forgotten. They said the need an active state of war with Israel to stay relevent and to attract funding from their donars.
They also said they only attacked ligitamte targets, military and settlers. By their definition, every Jew in Israel is a settler.
They're not interested in apartheid, they want genocide.
As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge and piercing insight. I continue to learn from you, although I certainly wish discussions of these topics were not needed. You write it, I'll read it.
ReplyDeleteWP - Keep ‘‘em coming. This is invaluable information for those of us who need to counter the gushing and gullible pro-Palestinian reports put out by the Western media. The fact that Hamas began this war with a brutal massacre of Israeli (and others) civilians, seems to have been totally lost in the current handwringing about Palestinian civilian casualties. I don’t remember anyone calling for a cease fire after Pearl Harbor? Ed.
