We know nothing about this conflict

There will come a time in the near future when we will finally look in horror at the death rained down upon Gaza. People will be in disbelief that anyone could have supported or turned a blind eye to the actions of our satellite barbarian nation. But by then it will be too late, and our government will have funded a massacre.

Why didn’t Hamas kidnap the 600 Americans who were already in Gaza?

600 Americans were already in Gaza at the time of the Hamas attack, a factoid that appears to throw this conflict further down the rabbit hole. Why weren’t they immediately swept up as hostages? This news piece states as fact something that they don’t know directly: that Hamas is preventing those Americans from crossing over into Egypt. Their source? Guesswork, it appears. They do know one thing: Egypt also hasn’t allowed many people out of Gaza at the Rafah crossing. So is it Hamas or is it Egypt that’s preventing these Americans from leaving? Curiouser and curiouser.

Were Israeli forces directed to kill Israeli hostages rather than allow them to be taken into Gaza?

Jonathan Cook here writes about the Israeli military’s little-known “Hannibal Directive”, which compels soldiers to kill their fellow soldiers and civilians rather than allow them to be taken hostage. This begs the question: was the Hamas massacre truly what we’ve been told, or did Israel’s military play a large part in the number of dead? Hamas has now released several hostages, to the disbelief of anyone watching the corporate news’ version of events, and they’ve pledged to release more. This seems at odds with what we’ve been presented as the narrative of their surprise attack. This also casts further doubt on the “beheaded babies” narrative. Would Israeli forces firebomb a nursery rather than see the children taken hostage? This isn’t to discount the horrors committed by Hamas, but to add a layer of perspective that is totally absent.

Now, listen to a Jewish survivor of the Hamas assault. She describes a situation where Israeli forces killed a number of hostages in order to prevent Hamas fighters from leaving.

The real question is why are foreign students here to begin with?

Not to say I’m against foreign students entirely, but why the push to bring the world to us in this way? How much is paid for by the American taxpayer? What I question, and what I believe should change, is this:

This is not the behavior of a healthy nation, but by a nation whose leaders care more about turning their country into an international buffet. By all means, bring students from all over the world here, the best and brightest, so long as they commit to becoming citizens here. We need the barest of standards if we are to endure.
