First of all, every single death in this war is one too many! It doesn't matter whether you're Israeli, Jew, Palestinian, Muslim or any other person! The absolutely terrible thing about this whole tragedy is that this war, which was brought about, if not by the international community - as I will try to explain below - was well prepared in the long term and then triggered as planned and now with almost full severity to be led.
For decades now, far too many Palestinians have been living in refugee camps or cooped up in Gaza. This is certainly unique in the world and the reasons for it require urgent and complete clarification! Expulsions in history are probably among the unfortunately completely normal human crimes; we Germans also became victims from 1945 onwards, without questioning our war guilt. In the meantime, the vast majority of those who were displaced at the time and their descendants have probably found a new home in other parts of the world. And so one simply has to speculate as to why Palestinians are still living in camps or are staying in Gaza in a far disproportionate number, given that their neighbors in the Arab world not only have enough space, but above all there is also a need for workers, which are now, among other things from China or India without any reservations.
Is it possible that the Arab world loves or hates the Palestinians as much as the Jews? The only thing that would be worse is if the people living in these camps and in Gaza serve the Arabs solely as human weapons so that they can at some point destroy the Jews as a whole.
In any case, over the last few decades, Gaza has been expanded into an incomparable building complex that is not only bordered on all sides, but whose entrances are better monitored than the Iron Curtain at the time. Everyone involved is very much to blame for this happening! From the United Nations to international aid organizations and especially from the countries of the Arab region to our Western world, Gaza has been knowingly turned into a modern theater of war in the worst case scenario imaginable militarily. Even doctors, pastors, priests and imams not only looked at it, but also supported it with all the means at their disposal - one can, indeed one must assume that these people are solely characterized by deep anti-Semitism.
Gaza is now almost a single building complex, spanning countless floors from the high-rise buildings to the deepest tunnel rooms, a total of 360 km² of urban warfare terrain. And as already described, more or less over 2 million people live there - actually a military no-go area!
But that's not enough. Under the eyes of said aid and government organizations, military and civilian facilities in this area have been so intertwined that it is no longer possible to distinguish between them. Combat positions, command bunkers and weapons depots are located in kindergartens and hospitals to such an extent that this may be unique in our entire history and the world.
Worse, every effort has been made to make it impossible, to the best of our knowledge, to distinguish between combatants - people who soldiers must shoot - and non-combatants - people who soldiers are not allowed to shoot. And as the current acts of war show, the Gaza residents usually carry out acts of war by covering civilians, who thus act as human shields.
And to make the monstrous even more monstrous, completely surprisingly - let's not assume that the current government in Israel tolerated this in order to continue winning elections - Palestinian terrorists entered Israel on October 7, 2023 and there over 1 people were tortured, raped, mutilated and then murdered, and to make the whole perfidy unravel, an additional 100 civilians were kidnapped into Gaza.
From a purely military perspective, there would only be three solutions for Israel: First, an immediate surrender and emigration from the Levant with all parts of the population - an absurd solution! Secondly, the destruction of the terrorists with long-range weapons and thirdly, a complete isolation of Gaza (= starvation) until all terrorists surrender.
The international community has forced Israel to a fourth solution (primacy of politics). Namely, an invasion of Gaza, which will inflict the highest possible losses on the Israelis, will also not save many of the hostages and will also lead to massive losses among the Palestinian civilian population - as planned in advance. But it is taking anti-Semitism to new heights worldwide.
The first three solutions would have brought peace to the Levant for years, the fourth solution that has now been initiated will further destabilize the entire region and cause even more strife for many years to come! Anti-Semitism shows once again that it knows neither mercy nor any other shred of humanity!
As I write these lines, people continue to die senselessly in Gaza, just as far too many people around the world wanted and had been preparing for years. Meanwhile, the crocodile tears are rolling in streams - and on all media channels!
