Well, well, well: it was all fun and games and dancing in the streets when the hostages were being paraded like cattle – then Gazans got what was coming to them. Now they’re crying and whining about Hamas.
Guess they shouldn’t have voted them in to power, then, huh?
Palestinians in Gaza City have blamed Hamas for the complete breakdown in society in the Strip amid the war with Israel, with many saying they would be willing to leave the enclave to save their families.
Well, all well and good – but we don’t want them here, thank you very much. Let their Arab ‘brothers’, who spend so much time tearing their beards and wailing about ‘Palestine’, pull their fingers out and step up for once. Saudi Arabia alone has 100,000 luxurious, air-conditioned tents capable of accommodating three million people – which stand empty 360 days of the year.
In rare interviews with non-Palestinian journalists ahead of the Israeli military’s push into the city, residents painted a dystopian picture of their devastated home, telling Israel’s Channel 12 TV they had been reduced to stealing aid off trucks and fighting with other families to get food and medical aid for their families.
One man told the broadcaster: “I have gone from an educated person to a barbarian, honestly. Looking for food and water in the streets to feed my children, I have become a thief. I am attacking aid trucks, from truck to truck, to bring flour and feed my children. I take whatever comes my way for my children.”
That would be the aid the pallywankers tell us Israel doesn’t allow into Gaza? Are these people teleporting into Israel to steal it then?
Note, too, the caveat about ‘non-Palestinian journalists’: this is a tacit admission that all of the ‘journalists’ the legacy media parrot so uncritically cannot be relied on. That’s because they’re all either Hamas operatives at worst or mouthpieces at best. Even the Committee to Protect Journalists admits that all journalists in Gaza are subject to Hamas “violently targeting and killing its critics”.
Anything you hear or see from Palestinian journalists is exactly what Hamas wants you to hear and see – nothing else.
Journalists who dared cover recent, timid anti-Hamas protests quickly found themselves dragged off by Hamas, for hours of beating and interrogation. “He only secured his freedom with a promise to stop reporting.”
Even those protests were the self-interested squalling of people who have belatedly realised what they’ve brought on themselves.
“Find us a solution now, save the residents of Gaza and rehabilitate it. Sell Palestine, sell Palestine.”
Maybe you should have thought of that on October 7, 2023.
Many of the Gazan residents who spoke to Channel 12 laid the blame for the war and continued fighting at Hamas’s door, with one man saying: “The one who can stop this war is the one who started it. The one who brought this war upon us bears the responsibility to end it. When you decide to invade Israel, you have to provide security and a future for your people, and not abandon your people to death like this.”
Well, pass me the world’s tiniest violin. It’s a far cry from rushing after the Hamas fighters on October 7, pushing wheelbarrows laden with looted goods over the still-warm bodies of Israelis. Not as much fun as it was when they were lining the streets of Gaza to spit on and jeer at the hostages and the mutilated corpses paraded as trophies, eh?
Perhaps some of them are finally starting to love their children more than they live for killing Jews. Although, as ever, it seems the way to a ‘Palestinian’s’ heart is through his hip pocket: the same families that once delighted in collecting ‘martyr’s money’ courtesy of their own dead kids are now eyeing off even bigger payments to bugger off and leave Gaza for civilised people to rebuild.
It emerged that on Monday the White House has drawn up plans for a post-war Gaza, which included paying Gazans $US5000 ($7650) to leave the Strip, in order to turn it into a tourist and tech hub. According to the Washington Post, those who own land would be offered a digital token in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, which they could use to finance a new life elsewhere, or redeem for an apartment in a new “smart city” in the enclave.
While Arab nations have rejected Mr Trump’s plans to relocate Gazan residents en masse, some featured on Channel 12’s broadcast openly embraced the idea.
A resident named Mahoud told Channel 12: “Those who rule the Strip (Hamas) … haven’t cared about us … during two years of hunger, pain, humiliation, poverty. If they open the (border), I will be the first to leave.”
Another resident claimed: “Hamas started as a national, religious project, but now it is neither national nor religious. … Those who bear responsibility for everything that happened are the religious, the Muslims. In Western countries there is no bloodshed, in Europe there is no bloodshed, we do not hear of such cases.”
Well, at least there wasn’t, until their co-religionists showed up.
“If emigration helps us and ends this suffering, welcome and welcome,” said one father. However, he added: “But the shame will be on (Hamas) if we emigrate because now is Hamas’s last chance, otherwise they will erase us and Palestine from history.”
Well, that won’t be too hard: it’s pretty easy to erase what has never existed.
