It comes back to haunt us

Do we need to see a photo of an empty refrigerator inside a “Palestinian” house in the Gaza Strip accompanying “Eisenkot: War with Gaza could break out this year” (February 5)? Better you show the empty refrigerator in a Jewish house, of which there are plenty.

According to Bar-Ilan University’s Mordechai Kedar, there is no starvation in Gaza. Fake news is a ploy often used by the Arabs.

Having already surrendered our land to the Gazans, they should have used the billions of dollars allocated to them to build up their lives. We left them beautifully cultivated greenhouses and land, having been lovingly attended to by the Jewish families living there before they were thrown out.

In the next war, we must be prepared to win, to finally put a stop to our enemies. Collateral damage? Their problem, not ours.

The next day we read “Without resupply, Gaza to run out of fuel in 10 days, WHO official warns” (February 6). Again, this has nothing to do with us because we deprive them of nothing. Yet whatever goes across the border ends up being used to make weapons with which to attack and murder us.

No, Gaza’s residents are not being held “hostage” by “war lords.” They support Hamas and the murder of Jews, and make no secret of it. It does tell us that whenever we give up what is ours, it comes back to haunt us.

On the same front page, we read that Hezbollah can strike any target in our waters (“Navy concerned with upgraded Hamas sea threat”). Why have we allowed that group to grow so strong? Why do we still refuse to destroy it? Why do we still undertake the pathetic tit-for-tat that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swore would never happen, saying instead that he would destroy our enemies?
