They will arrive at some point waving their flags and beating their drums. They have come to save the people of the Gaza Strip. Really?
Someone once said that the more you say a lie the more people start to believe it. The lie that blames Israel for all the trouble and poverty in Gaza. To be perfectly honest former Israeli governments are responsible for the situation of the strip now and the public relations nightmare Israel is suffering. The exit from Gaza with the expulsion of its Jewish residents was meant to disconnect Israel from Gaza completely, or so they said. Not only is Israel not disconnected but now the Gazan problem and its connection to Israel is what the world is talking about. Even at the worst times from a PR standpoint Israel was never vilified the way it is now. The extreme elements were kept at bay while Israel was in the strip and much needed labor was provided to many Arab residents of Gaza. This is not to say that Israel is responsible for the poverty and misery of many Gazan residents, it is not. The entire situation could have been avoided had the exit from Gaza not occurred or if it had occurred differently.
But who remembers Israel’s exit from Gaza now? It is such old news . There were many who warned that a public relations nightmare would occur. That the Hamas would take over the strip Israel would be forced to retake or wage war against the Hamas. When that happened the PR nightmare would begin. So who is responsible for all this ?
He is in a coma and can’t see with his own eyes how much harm he caused so many. Jew and Arab alike. His name is Ariel Sharon a former war hero turned statesman who decided he had a solution when no real solution was at hand he would create separation between Israel and Gaza. It did not work, it was a disaster. Israel and the world are still suffering from that fiasco.
It’s only going to get worse before it gets better.
