Netanyahu’s Next Gaza Has Begun - But His Excuse Has Fallen Apart!

Right, so Netanyahu has started emptying Palestinian neighbourhoods in Hebron, and there’s a rather awkward problem with his explanation, his justification. The Jerusalem Post asked Israeli military sources what connected the people being forced out to the terrorism that had been allegedly perpetrated kicking all of this off you see. Specific information? Apparently that’s a lot harder to produce than the bulldozers are. Meanwhile, settlement authorities are announcing expansion as a response to the same attack. Palestinians are being ordered out, settlers are being promised more, and Netanyahu would like us to believe this all adds up to security, because isn’t it always about those genocidal maniacs with their God complexes and their apparent God given right to security at the expense of everybody around them. Now, you’d think that before hundreds of families were told to leave, somebody might have established why those particular people had to go. Something a little more convincing than sharing a surname with an attacker, or having the misfortune to just live nearby. But who cares when Israeli security is at stake right? People’s belongings are being loaded onto trucks, and the residents can hardly wait beside the front door while a journalist tries to extract a proper answer out of the powers that be here can they? They have to find somewhere to sleep, but Netanyahu gets to make a grand announcement about security again in the run up to elections he’s in need of a boost over.
