Well, recent history tends to end badly for those who attempt genocide of the Jews.

Yep. Israel's right-wing government is certainly keen on making that point.

Netanyahu is finished. The first duty of any country is to protect its citizens, and his administration was caught napping, leading to the biggest loss of Jewish life since the Shoah.

There are lots of swimming pools in Gaza. I'm not sorry if this truth offends anyone.

In fact you can play my new quiz at Sporcle, "Gaza or Dubai", to see if you can spot the difference.

I bet you've been waiting years to use that one.

Behaving like animals in Gaza looting and ransacking the aid compound. They'll be hungry and cold by Christmas. Not thought it through again.

Beginning to look a lot like world war z zombies in Gaza. Infected with a undead virus?

Desperate people do desperate things in desperate circumstances. Your moral opprobrium and dehumanisation just ignores so much about the situation. So much. Carry on like that and you'll soon be calling Palestinians vermin.

If order has broken down, that means Hamas are no longer in control, and that's not a bad thing.

Imagine if they behaved civilized? Nothing would have escalated. It would be peaceful there.

Imagine if the Aztecs had behaved civilised when Cortez arrived? Nothing would have escalated.
Imagine if the Native Americans had behaved civilised? Nothing would have escalated.

If they were civilised people, they never would have driven the native Jews off their land in the first place.
