The dawning unpleasant truth in Gaza

The truth is that Hamas are the devil. Look at the way they have fallen upon their Fatah rivals - and I don't just mean the fact they have sought military victory but the brutal violence, terror and sheer sadistic evil of their attacks on their fellow countrymen, women and children.

But remember their strings are being pulled from elsewhere.

Israel can be really hard to support sometimes, but can you imagine what these Hamas zealots (ok the irony of using that work isn't lost on me) would do if they got their hands on Israel ? You don't have to its being played out now in Gaza.

Women who don't wear the veil do so at risk of their lives. People cannot escape - the Mufti of Jerusalem orders them to stay to be terrorised in the new Hamastan theme park.

Melanie Phillips puts this better than I can here - she also lays into our liberal media, quite rightly IMHO.

There are reports of Hamas members slitting the throats of surrendering Fatah officers.

Not that Fatah deserve excess sympathy - but its one hell of a way to treat fellow human beings.

If they treat their fellow countrymen like this how would Israeli citizens fair under their control ? The remaining Christian Arabs in Gaza are already under serve pressure.; 12:57 am

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
