It’s getting a bit horrible in Gaza. Well, it’s been a bit horrible for months now. 7 months to be precise, almost exactly. Since the ‘troubles’ began. And now we’re at a ‘crossroads’. To Rafah or not to Rafah. To ‘do a deal’ with the devil (Hamas) or to just finish the job.

The ‘deal’ was proposed by mediators. Hamas ‘agreed’ to it in a last gasp attempt to prevent Israel from invading Rafah because that’s where they’re holed up. Literally. In holes in the ground. Very nice holes though, with electricity and central heating (?) and running water. Probably a few Picassos on the walls provided by their mates in Qatar. And hostages. Lots of hostages. Who the world, outside Israel, has widely either forgotten or just chosen to ‘take out of the equation’, not ever mentioned along with the any sentence including the word ‘humanitarian’. That word is exclusively for use elsewhere.

They want ‘a ceasefire’. Which means they want Israel to stop firing. Hamas fired rockets the other day which hit a military base, killing 4 and injuring more. It barely received a mention. Ok, it was a military base so, unlike virtually every other rocket they fire, was a ‘fair target’. And those rockets came from… Rafah. Almost as if provoking Israel, not that they need much provocation.

‘If’ Israel attack Rafah ‘properly’ (it’s already started in a limited way), Hamas will relish every Palestinian death as it stokes the fires of international condemnation against its enemy. Hamas’s only consideration is for its own security, buried deep under the ground. Hamas not only doesn’t care about the ‘innocent Palestinians’, it uses them towards its PR machine. Hamas has nothing but contempt for Palestinians, uses them as human shields, murders them if they dissent.

Biden has now ‘paused’ aid to Israel. Because he’s a senile fuck-wit worried about his up-coming election. And sees all across America, on those ‘Free Palestine’ encampments, thousands of eligible voters. As opposed to seeing thousands of misguided, entitled, virtue-signalling sheep, herded there by teams of Iran-driven radicalisers. Long since beyond mere ‘Free Palestine’ and moved on to ‘get rid of Israel’ and ‘no Jews allowed in here!!!’. They’re doing Hamas’ work for them. All these trust-fund tossers who couldn’t find Gaza on a map of Gaza and have simply no care nor thought for atrocities happening elsewhere.

Hamas showed on October 7th its clear intention. And it definitely knew exactly what the response would be. Since then, the world has been royally ‘played’.

So Rafah? If I were a Gazan, I’d clear out now. And if I was a student at Columbia/Harvard/Yale, I’d look for a brain.

Happy Wednesday
