Things would be much better than they are now,” said Samara (alias), a graduate of the Islamic University living in the Gaza Strip.
According to Samara, who lives nearby one of the Fatah strongholds taken over by Hamas in recent days, fear reigns in Gaza’s streets, and apart from gunmen and military officials, no one leaves their homes.
“The children are afraid all the time,” Samara says. “My nephews ask, ‘Why are the Israelis shooting at us?’, and we tell them it’s Palestinians. Then they ask, ‘Why are Palestinians shooting at us?’, and I have no answer for them.“We have no food at home. We’ve been living on soups and canned food for days. There is no electricity or continuous water supply, let alone medicine or essential hygiene products,” she explained.
The gun battles taking place in the streets keep all of Gaza’s residents in a state of constant fear.
“I hide in the house all day long, but even that might not be enough. Our neighbor was shot while he was inside. Men with black masks, weapons, and bags are walking around on the streets and I’m afraid to leave. They could shoot me – even if I’m not what they are looking for,” Samara said.
I was the first to use the term Hamasastan prior to the retreat from Gaza by Israel, part of what I said was going to happen has happened, the shooting of rockets into Israel from Gaza.
The second thing that I said was going to take place, was the take over of Gaza by Hamas. I also said that Gaza under Hamas was going to become the newest Islamic refuge. We will see Gaza become worse than Afghanistan was under the Taliban.
America has called on Israel to close down checkpoints in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), to give the Palestinians a greater degree of "freedom". Today we see what total freedom from the big bad Israel Defense Force gets the Palestinians.
As you all know I have called on Israel to fight a war against the Palestinians and I have stated many times they should never get a State of their own.
I must say that even though the Palestinians are an evil murdering people that yes are even more evil than the Third Reicht was, they deserve to suffer from the war that Israel should prosecute against them.
They do not however deserve what they will do to themselves.
A war with Israel will be fought within the rules of war, the rules at play in Gaza today are those of Islam.
