There’s very little to add on the situation in Gaza that hasn’t already been said by James and Daniel, both today and yesterday. Although I would like to remind CoffeeHousers of the post I wrote earlier this year from the Israeli town of Sderot – you can read it here. For those who haven’t heard the name before, Sderot sits near the Israel-Gaza border and is under frequent rocket attack by Hamas. Its citizens live under a constant pall of fear and helplessness; something that was brought into sharp focus for me when I witnessed the immediate aftermath of one of Hamas’s random barrages.
Of course, the situation’s horrible inside Gaza too, and its residents are most likely just as fearful. But it can’t be underestimated how much this is down to Hamas and the fact that their “administration” of the area is geared wholly towards the destruction of Israel.
