Already in the U.S., there have been violent deaths associated with the Israel invasion: a Muslim 6-year-old stabbed to death with his grieving mother just out of the hospital from multiple wounds, and a synagogue president murdered next to her house.
No doubt, thousands of innocents will die in Gaza. But, hopefully, not hundreds in our own country, as Israel disregards pleas from President Joe Biden and the rest of the world to not be so trigger-happy.
After all is said and done, in my opinion, Gaza will become a Jewish settlement, as it once was. When 14,000 Jews were forced to leave Gaza in the early part of the 21st century, they retaliated by bulldozing exquisite homes overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
The Arabs had to build their own modest high rises in Gaza, without the benefit of having a state of their own, and are still “occupied” by the Jews that settled in their territory 75 years ago.
Gaza and the West Bank will be completely taken over by new Jewish settlers and an extra tall electrified wall will be put up to keep out Arabs.
