Gaza War Diary: 3 April 2024
I suppose it was inevitable. Surround a small country with homicidal maniacs who rape, murder, and kidnap her citizens and swear this is part of their religion and it's just the beginning. Force its tiny citizen army to place their lives on the line, and then find out your so-called friends and allies are totally focused on making sure the enemy doesn't suffer, no matter how many of your soldiers it will endanger. Have every nation in the world gang up on it and examine with a magnifying glass every move it makes to protect itself. In spite of this scrutiny, make sure they know you don't approve of their miraculous military progress and will be taking them to court. Hold daily funerals of soldiers, and daily rallies with the parents of the kidnapped, who have been infiltrated by the same fifth column who would rather see the country burn down if they can't get rid of a Prime Minister they don't like.
