The watchword on the streets was: 'The landlord's gone crazy'. The goal of the operation: 'To fuck their mothers' mother'. Calls to erase Gaza rode lighdy off people's lips. Hamas arc armed and dangerous. Destroy their buildings, their personnel. Anyone around them is as good as dead. Since the end of the 2006 Lebanon War, the expectation of a future 'big operation in Gaza' that would restore the mudthed honour of the Israeli army has been periodically floated in the media, and normalised in Israelis' consciousness. On the day after the US elections, Israel was the first to break the elapsed ceasefire with Hamas, which in response renewed its own rocket attacks. In truth, Israel had never kept its side of the Egyptian-brokered bargain over the ceasefire, in failing to end the harsh economic blockade. A Russian joke: 'They told me, 'Relax, it could be worse'. So I relaxed, and indeed it got worse.' As Qassam attacks by Hamas or some other Gazan militia inevitably continue throughout the aerial bombardment, the army moves to Stage Two. A column cuts through the middle of the Gaza Strip. Advance positions are taken. Yet the opponent fails to come out fighting. And so the living city is rent asunder, in a wargame with no strategic objective, only to spend ammunition looking for the enemy with zero casualties. As they tunnel their way through living-room walls into Gaza City, Israeli conscripts throw explosives ahead to protect themselves from possible ambushes and mines. Hamas store weapons in mosques and apartment buildings and carry out dozens of punishment beatings on alleged collaborators. Most of the dead are civilians, maybe a third arc children. Thousands of homes are destroyed. Ambulances and hospitals are fired upon. Meanwhile, on the other side of the 10 metre-high walls that surround Gaza, Israeli war-resistcrs meet a brick wall everywhere they turn. Jewish Israelis have a knee-jerk nationalist loyalty when they perceive Israel is being attacked. The response is essentially: What do these bleeding-heart peaceniks expect us to do when we arc attacked? They didn't protest Hamas's rockets which have been pounding Israel for the past eight years whilst the children in Sdcrot wet their beds in fear (Sderot is the Israeli town next to Gaza which has suffered most from Hamas rocket attacks). What do these Europeans know? They just hate Israel and Israelis and don't think our lives are worth anything. All the hatred in demonstrations against Israel across Europe, with calls to kill the Jews, just shows mc that, if we don't protect ourselves no one else will come to Israel's defence. The fears of annihilation, fed by well-fanned collective trauma, are close to the surface and easily manipulated by politicians and pundits. Dchumanisation of the enemy helps explain the simple indifference to the shameless attacks on Palestinians in Gaza by all three major candidates in the recent elections. In the name of the Jews, the Israeli state drives Palestinia
