…What logic and information tell me and has told me for decades is that Israel has no choice but to put Gaza out of business. It is a wholly artificial rectangle of beach front property that is home to between one and two million Arabs, 70% of them on the dole paid by UNRWA whose budget comes from mostly the Western democracies and the EU. UNRWA is this generation’s successor to the medieval rack Jews were stretched on, their backs broken, tortured, burnt at that the stake. Today it is done by funding the sons of Ishmael in Gaza who fire thousands of rockets into Jewish communities to make their lives miserable.

And this is why Israel has to put an end to Gaza. There is, after all, something so profoundly weird in the reality that Israel provides the electricity to Gaza to the workshops where they fashion these rockets. This weird, this is sick.

Israel has to declare a policy of working to shut down the UNRWA presence in Gaza which has never tried to re-settle these people elsewhere, only sustain them in their misery, unemployed, idle, educated to believe the Jews on the other side of the security barrier stole their land from them and drove them into these slums. Israel has to declare a staged disengagement from lending its support to this sick situation of maintaining the Gaza rectangle which rightfully, according to the League of Nations Mandate map, was part of the Palestine that the League brought to life, a Palestine explicitly called the historic homeland of the Jews, not the Balestinians, because there were none in 1922…
