🇮🇱🇵🇸 "GAZA WAS BASICALLY AN INFERNO LONG BEFORE OCTOBER 7" Norman Finkelstein says we can’t know exactly what was in Hamas leaders’ heads before October 7, but he tries to imagine the mindset of the young fighters who broke out of Gaza that day. He describes Gaza as a place he calls a “concentration camp”: tiny, overcrowded, cut off by an Israeli blockade, with extreme youth unemployment and almost no future. In his telling, these young men grew up pacing the same fenced, in strip of land, feeling like their lives were already over, and when they saw the region moving toward deals like the Abraham Accords, they believed Gaza was about to be sealed off forever, which he suggests helped drive the decision to launch the attack. "I think it requires great powers of imagination, but without going through all the details, which I suspect many of your listeners know, Gaza was basically an inferno. Under the Israeli occupation it was already being described by Israel’s head of its National Security Council, Giora Eiland, as a, quote, “huge concentration camp.” His words. By October 2023, Gaza was being described by The Economist as a rubbish heap. Others described it as a human rubbish heap. Others described it as a toxic dump. The young men, the age cohort that burst the gates of Gaza on October 7th had been born into a concentration camp. They languished in the concentration camp, and it was almost certain they were going to die in that concentration camp. It looked like the final nail in the coffin of Gaza was going to be hammered in when Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords. That was the expectation in 2023: that their fate was sealed. Gaza was over." Norman Finkelstein

This week, I visited two sites in Israel among the hardest hit by Hamas on Oct. 7: Nir Oz, a kibbutz in the Gaza border; and the site of the Nova Music Festival. Here’s a long post on my thoughts and emotions, with some pics and videos in the thread: Nir Oz: from a platform in this farming community you can look into Gaza (in fact I did, watching the IDF shell targets there this week). But the most memorable & heartbreaking part of this visit was learning about the Hamas victims. 25% of this community of 400+ was murdered or taken hostage, including the Bibas Family. On February 22, it was confirmed that Shiri Bibas, and her young boys Ariel and Kfir, were murdered in captivity. Yarden, Shiri’s husband and father to Kfir and Ariel, was also abducted but later released as part of the hostage agreement. You might remember the sick public celebration Hamas held when they finally returned the Bibas remains. About 150 Hamas fighters attacked Nir Oz from three directions. The kibbutz had a very small security force that was eventually overwhelmed. After the Hamas killers took control, Palestinian civilians followed and looted the homes in Nir Oz, taking part in the attack and adding to the suffering. These are simple, peaceful, rural Israeli farmers. Peaceniks, really. They have no capacity to fight. And yet they were brutalized on October 7 and beyond. Our guide for the day, Nir Metzger, described for us his experiences. His father was killed in captivity and his mother was taken hostage and later released. The day we visited, the IDF had just recovered the remains of two Nir Oz residents from the tunnels of Gaza and they were preparing for a funeral. Nova Music Festival: this site was simply heartbreaking. The rows and rows of signs of victims are a stark reminder of just what Israel lost that day. Around 400 were murdered and 44 more were taken hostage. What nobody wants to talk about: the brutal sexual assaults inflicted on the Nova crowd. What Hamas did to the women (and the men in many cases) was inhuman. Absolute savages. When I talk about the fight for Western Civilization, I think about the barbarism and atrocities committed here at Nova and elsewhere in Israel. Hamas and similarly aligned terror groups would inflect this kind of pain and humiliation on any of us if they could, and it is Israel on the front lines trying to stop them today. I left these two sites heartbroken, but also, more than anything, angry. Furious, really. When you talk to average Israelis, you realize one thing: they cannot live side by side with Hamas. It’s just not possible. The war can only end when Hamas is fully eliminated. I came to Israel for many reasons, but bearing witness to these atrocities and reporting back was a key motivation. So many people are misinformed about what happened here. Make no mistake: it is easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys when you see up close what happened and talk to the people who suffered through this terrorism.
