Ghaza

 Ghaza have been a problem since the land was handed over to the Philistines in 2005, and that problem became bigger when Hamas won the election of Palestinian officials in 2007. Israel funded Hamas to weaken the Palestinian authority, but, after Hamas won the 2007 election, Israel said the Palestinian Authority would remain the only legitimate government of the Palestinians (who don't really have any land, since all of Ghaza and the West Bank belong to the Zionists).

For electing Hamas, Israel imposed sanctions on Ghaza, but those sanctions were relatively mild (only a few annual cases of starvation, death by Israeli shelling, and death from lack of medicine).

But then Hamas staged a totally unprovoked attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.

Israel have proof that Hamas raped and murdered many women and beheaded many babies. Of course, many question that 'proof' since many of  the Israeli civilians killed on 7 October were killed by weapons not available to Hamas.

I watched two presentations by Max Blumenthal. In the first, he said very few had seen the rape videotapes, and the few allowed to see the tapes had no knowledge of videotapes. Max said he'd watched the tape and all the rapes took place before 2023, and in places such as Kurdistan that were outside of Israel. He gave a presentation a few months later saying so few people claim to have seen the tape that the tape does not exist, since if it did exist, Israel would broadcast it to the entire world.

I wish Mr Blumenthal had a logically consistent reason not to believe that the rapes and murders were real, but he has not presented it yet.

Still, Mr Blumenthal raises serious questions about the veracity of the Israeli version of what happened on 7 October 2023.

In any case, the US are now planning to open a large US military base in Ghaza, and the US will help Israel enforce Trump's 20 point peace plan: totally disarming all of Hamas and dismantling all the Hamas tunnels.

And if this means removing all the Palestinians from Ghaza, one way or another, then the US military will help with this task, and maybe extend to the West Bank.

It's the least the US can do to maintain World Peace by giving Israel everything they want.
