Comment on "New York Times on Hamas"

 I noted that the New York Times say that, ever since the UN General Assembly voted to give the surviving Jews in Western Europe a sliver of land in the soon-to-be-decolonised British Palestine back in 1948, the Jews responded by offering peace to the Philistines who invariably responded to that offer with violence. This same message appears, by law, throughout the Western press. One can be arrested in many Western countries for waving the Philistine flag. 

It is not altogether clear from where this message was dredged, or how this message continues to fill all the Western media, print and broadcast. The Books of Samuel make it clear that the Israelis, upon entering Philistine, began killing off the native Philistines. The Book of I Samuel 18:7 denigrates Saul for only killing off thousands of Philistines while his successor David killed off tens of thousands, and now the Israelis are killing off more than 10,000 Philistines a month and are hoping to manage to reduce the Philistine population of Gaza to zero ASAP.

I understand the US and India want a major canal from Aqaba to Ghaza to enable goods from India to make it more easily to Europe in order to compete with the PRC, and Ghaza will be developed into a major shipping hub (Gaza is a mistransliteration of the Arabic.) Then the US hope to put pressure on India to stop buying Russian energy, since India is a major customer and has the Russian economy doing better then when Russia were selling all their energy to Europe at below-market price in a futile attempt to try to buy Europe's friendship. 

 Getting the Indian economy inextricably tied to the European and American economies and severed from Russia will, the US hope, choke the Russian economy enough that Russia will no longer be able to support their current military, now ranked by some as #1 in the world. Without any trade with India, the Russian military should drop several notches, and the Ukraine, with massive inputs of Western weapons, will be able to expel the Russians from the Donbass and Crimea. (Fat chance, but the US keep hoping.)
