In the year of our lord 1517, Martin Luther nailed his thesis to the door of a church in Germany, and the reformation was born. This bold and reckless act precipitated three centuries of almost constant war about pedantic interpretations of the bible, splitting hairs – splitting heads. Between seven and seventeen million people died in these wars. By the time they were finished we were no longer living in the dark ages, the modern era was born., the age of enlightenment, no less. One of the principal tenants of Protestantism is the simple belief that you don’t need to go to church to worship God. You can ‘cut out the middle man’ so to speak, and address God directly, as long as you are polite and humble.

(however, if he answers you directly, talk to a psychologist about your audio hallucinations)

So WTF has this got to do with Gaza, you may well ask.

Well, it is time we took a leaf out of Martin Luther’s book, and did more than lobby our national governments to take action on Gaza. They have had nearly two years to take some form of meaningful action, and they have refused to do so. In Australia we call them ‘gutless wonders.’ It is time to bypass this obstacle and go directly to the source of the conflict, Benjamin Netanyahu. He is the one who makes the decisions. It is high time we figured out WTF is going on in that addled brain of his. Where are his weaknesses? His vulnerabilities? What is his greatest fear?

Obviously his greatest fear is the destruction of his precious little fortress, plonked slap, bang in the middle of prime religious real estate, that happens to be occupied by some very stubborn Palestinians. He has made it abundantly clear that he feels the best way to defend his enclave is by force. It was established by force, it is maintained by force, it will be enlarged by force. Of course he is right. Those stubborn Palestinians will never accept the occupation of their homeland voluntarily. The Zionists have tried every trick in the book to beat them into submission, to no avail, they will not submit! It has become apparent that the only way for the Zionist enclave to continue to exist is to banish the Palestinians from the area altogether. To do this one must convince them that it is better to leave than to stay. When the Zionist state was first proclaimed, some seventy seven years ago, it was easy to terrorize the locals into going away, but they did not go far enough. Now it is time they moved on. But the Palestinians of today are not the ingenues of yesteryear, it will take a lot more to shift them. That is why the massacre in Gaza is so brutal. It is designed to terrorize the entire population into leaving, and it is not working, so the pressure must be intensified. But it is working on us, the outside world, and we are horrified. We have had a gutful of it. We are not going to put up with it a moment longer. Forget about petitions, forget about governments, forget about the U. N, they have shown themselves to be completely ineffective and irrelevant. It is high time the people of the world took charge of the world, and our first democratic act will be the total isolation of that nasty little enclave, that blight on humanity. Nothing goes in except food and medicine until the people of Israel turn on their tyrant and deliver him to the Hague to face the  justice he deserves. It would really help move things along if the Jews of the world joined us in our endeavors. So it is vitally important to convince them to cut him loose before he drags their precious little state down with him. He has single handedly erased nearly all the immense sympathy the Jews received after the holocaust, soon it will all be gone. Then the long suffering Jews will be all alone again, banished to the furthest corners of the globe  to lick your wounds and ponder, why did we squander the good will of the entire world to follow the psychotic dreams of a madman?

All we ask is that you deliver this one single man to us before he drags you all down in the sinking ship of his delusions of grandeur.
