Speaking of Gazans supposedly not being able to “breathe” due to the non-occupation by Israel:

That’s a line that Hamas has been pushing since the slaughter — that they had to kill Jews, because Israel, by not letting these terrorists into their country to kill more Israelis, was preventing them from “breathing.”

It just occurred to me — forgive me for being slow on the uptake — that this is an attempt to inflame American blacks against Israel, by equating Gazans’ purported inability to “breathe” with George Floyd’s death due to fentanyl overdose.

And, of course, it’s working.

[Perhaps not as much as they’d hoped, however. BLM and its allies didn’t expect the level of blowback they got from adopting a paragliding terrorist as their mascot, and have tried to downplay it a bit since then. At any rate. Gaza wasn’t under an ‘occupation’ in the first place. Hamas argues that all of Israel is an occupation that must be destroyed, not Gaza, which is why it’s pointless to hold Israel back any longer. I wrote on that a couple of times today; my second post will go up at the top of the hour. — Ed]
