Some of the greatness that was Gaza was the ability of the Palestinians to create a great city. Gaza was being transformed, not of resorts and casinos but of the dreams of the Palestinian people. Containment of both sides of mutual hate was necessary to allow the growth of a civilization worth protecting and enjoying. It is my belief Gaza now lies in disastrous debris because Netanyahu was afraid of that reality.
I could never understand the attacks on hospitals. It was a clear violation of the international laws. The way Hamas lying in hospitals should have been handled is for arrests and imprisonment carried out with potential of death sentences after trial. That would have been the way a civilized people would have done it. But, instead any Palestinian, any human being in Gaza for that matter, was the enemy. That was not the case. But, seeing every man, woman, and child as the enemy only justified the destruction of the infrastructure that had become Gaza.
The USA was never called in to mitigate the tragedy of October 7, 2026. The alliance was unimportant to the IDF. Securing Israel would have been an admirable pursuit that would have saved lives of innocent people while routing out Hamas. I could not understand that either. Why would Israel go it alone in such a destructive and deadly way? The elections in the USA in November would put Trump back into power and with that a partner in killing. I believe the assignment given to Trump occurred in his first term with the honors of a square in Jerusalem in his name along with a future Israeli community. I can't help but speculate that Trump put Iran in his sites long before he decided Hegseth could carry out assaults on peaceful use of nuclear capacity with GBU-43/B bombs. Let's face it with land and landmarks in his name didn't Trump have a vested interest in Israel, besides the religion of his son-in-law (click here).
Going forward, it is the responsibility of the USA to hold hearings to bring about the truth of the attacks into Gaza. There were international laws broken and people killed unmercifully and without cause. The destruction of Gaza has created more reason for hate and more reason to stop the hate.
The war in Gaza is wrong.
The war in Iran is equally as wrong.
The opposition to these wars is not about deciding the religious justification according to ancient text, or as revenge for past genocidal sins, it is about protecting the sanctity of life without hatred or bias as to whom lives on Earth.
Accountability has to be clearly understood to be the only form of justice that exists in a world of civilizations.
