300 to 1 is disproportionate warfare

58. There is no war. There is land theft and the consequential skirmishes.

This is all about israel knowing that it must nibble away tirelessly and endlessly until it has displaced all Palestinians and replaced them with new settlements. Look at maps of the area over the last 60 years. They are so close to completely ridding the territory of all Palestinians they can probably taste it. The problem is, how do they finally close the deal? What machinations could be used to rid them of those remaining pockets of undesirables? It will require some clever brinkmanship to commit what will necessarily be an atrocity, while continuing to play the victim and receive sympathy and weaponry from the international community. So far they seem to be pulling it off quite masterfully. I tip my hat to them.

The rest of it, all of it, is a big shell game to keep all eyes from focusing on the shameless land grabbing. The piece-of-shit rockets that they scream about constantly, while they are terrible deadly weapons, are a necessary linchpin for israel to continue their land grabbing. And if you need to be attacked in order claim victim status, what better weapon to be attacked with than one that doesn't do shit in the end. Those rockets could not be a more perfect fit for israel to meet it's political goals if they were designed by israel itself. They are scary, they go boom, and they never hit their target.

Israel can't stop occupying Gaza. Their presence in Gaza, by design, precipitates skirmishes. And skirmishes are the pretext for more land grabbing and home destruction in the name of "defending" itself.
