Israeli-HAMAS War Update: IDF Flour Massacre, Gaza Boys Killed by Food from Heaven

  This Blogger has a friend, who is an actor. He played the lead in a Los Angeles production of STEAMBATH. STEAMBATH is one of those plays not produced nearly enough on America’s stages( MARAT/SADE, NO EXIT,SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR and THE BALCONY being others). STEAMBATH is set in an afterlife, in which that afterlife is set in a steam bath;  God is there, as the  Puerto Rican attendant. It is an absurdist play; but, since all of us are living through these absurdist times, it resonates. As the Israeli/HAMAS devolves into absolute absurdity, perhaps God indeed is a Puerto Rican steam bath attendant. The people of Gaza are starving; they need food. Israel, at war with HAMAS, the terrorist overlords of Gaza,  has restricted food supplies; in an effort, this Blogger assumes, to get the emaciated people of Gaza to turn against HAMAS. To alleviate the starvation, a consortium of nations: America, Jordan and Egypt have begun to parachute pallets of food supplies into beleaguere

As Foretold to Gerry Maxey, In Cairo, in 1991, Palestinians Waited for Stupid Israeli Leadership to Attack

  Back in 2009, this Blogger published a Blog which theorized that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be best understood, within the context of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. Interminable war, events foretold, magic realism turned deadly.   The event foretold, in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, was told to this Blogger, by a Christian Palestinian, over drinks, during the Gulf War, in 1991, in Cairo. This Blogger happened to be in Cairo, on vacation, during that war.   The Palestinian, who was an activist, revealed the Grand Strategy of the Palestinian collective purpose; to wait out the acknowledged brilliant leadership of the Israeli Founding Fathers; then strike when Israel self indulged in stupid leadership.   His theory was that all empires, nations, states, monarchies, autocracies, military juntas, regimes  and peoples, even companies, even artistic disciplines, throw up brilliant clusters of leadership, in a specific period of time. And then, inevitably, stupidity arises t

Pause in Israel/Gaza War Allows for Reflections on Israel and HAMAS

  As this Blog is being written, the Israel/HAMAS War has been placed on PAUSE; so selected Israel hostages, taken in the HAMAS October 7 th    Murder Raid can be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners, held in Israeli jails. Since the October 7 th  HAMAS Murder Raid, the world has learned a few things about HAMAS. First, it is the most ruthless terrorist organization, since the Khmer Rouge and that includes the Taliban and ISIS. Secondly, it is the cleverest, canniest terrorist organization since the heyday of the Irish Republican Army. In geopolitical, geostrategic terms and in public opinion, HAMAS may have already won the war. It has galvanized worldwide opinion against Israel; even though HAMAS slaughtered Israeli elders,  raped Israeli women, butchered Israeli men and mothers and  beheaded Israeli babies in its Murder Raid. In response, all across the globe, masses of protestors want Israel to accept violation, forcing the world to lament the deaths of  Gazan civilians but not the d
