Finally, Israel Is Flattening Gaza City
About time…
Yes, I really wrote “finally.”
And no, not because I am happy to see hundreds of thousands of people displaced, their homes destroyed. On the contrary: quite the opposite.
I need to make this clear:
I hate seeing homes reduced to rubble. I hate knowing that, as in any conflict, children and innocent people are dying.
Do you know what else I hate? I hate knowing that there are still dozens of hostages, trapped in Gaza’s tunnels, waiting to return home… alive.
And I hate having to remember that, on that cursed October 7, more than a thousand people lost their lives. A thousand Israelis who believed in peace.
The main victims of that terrorist attack were neither Israeli settlers nor wealthy Tel Aviv entrepreneurs. Those who paid with their lives were, for the most part, Israelis most committed to peace.¹ Men and women who believed in coexistence, so much so that they went to Gaza’s border crossings to pick up cancer patients and transport them to Israeli hospitals to provide them with the best medical care.²
That is why I am glad the IDF is completing the full takeover of the Gaza Strip.
Because I care about the lives of children: Israeli children and Palestinian children alike. Children who, unfortunately, in Gaza, are used as human shields, indoctrinated with hatred, and forced to grow up under a dictatorship. Children who, if born homosexual, are killed. ³ ⁴
As a supporter of Western values, I cannot help but be saddened for them: they do not know democracy, they do not know freedom, and they are forced to live under a terrorist, authoritarian, and violent regime.
The people of Gaza… when will they ever find a moment of peace?
Two-State Solution? No, One-State Solution!
Anyone who follows Middle Eastern history knows: the roots of the conflict are not as complex as they are often portrayed. Of course, narratives multiply, but the logic is brutal and simple: two peoples, two identities, two ideologies… and one contested land.
So let us ask ourselves: why did Hamas organize the October 7 attack? Why does Israel, settlement by settlement, continue to advance in the West Bank and now in the Gaza Strip? The answer is disarmingly clear: mere territorial expansion.
Since 1947, the Arabs have claimed the entirety of that territory.⁵ Since 1948, Israel has exploited every attack against it to expand its borders.
Ultimately, the dynamic has always been the same: strike or resist, lose or gain ground.
Have you ever seen those necklaces, popular among pro-Palestinian activists, shaped like the entire Israeli and Palestinian territory? They are not mere jewelry: they are a manifesto. They express a clear vision, that of a “Free Palestine from the river to the sea,” which means one thing only: no Israel.
Yet, be careful: the same symbol is sometimes worn by Israelis who dream of total control over the region. The truth, raw and unvarnished, is this: both sides want it all.
Of course, there are movements that still believe in the two-state solution. But how long can they hold out under the pressure of new attacks and new settlements? Are we not witnessing, day by day, the decline of that idea?
The West continues to repeat the mantra of the “two-state solution.” But in the eyes of those who live there, it is only a mirage. The reality is that, in both societies, there are people willing to die to see the territory unified — whether under the Palestinian flag or the Israeli flag.
The difference? It lies in the balance of power. On one side, Israel: a Western democracy that has made law, capitalism, and innovation the levers of its strength. On the other, Gaza: an authoritarian regime that suffocates freedom, squanders billions on weapons and tunnels instead of schools, hospitals, and jobs. A people left to hunger, disease, and inadequate housing.
Israel Will Crush All Its Enemies
Whether you like it or not, in less than two years Israel has achieved what once seemed impossible: it has subdued Hamas, neutralized Hezbollah, struck Iran by disabling its air defenses, and extended the war to Yemen. And all this without damaging relations with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Egypt.
Isn’t that a result worth reflecting on?
The truth is that the war Gaza’s citizens are enduring could not be won. No strategy, no resistance could have overturned the overwhelming imbalance of forces.
And so a question naturally arises: when your enemy is infinitely more powerful than you, what do you do? Fight to the last man? Or try to negotiate, escape, save your life?
Hamas chose differently. It chose the bloodiest path: enter Israel, kill over a thousand people, and abduct more than 250 hostages, bringing them back into the Strip.⁶ In doing so, it forced Israel into Gaza with tanks. Wasn’t this outcome predictable?
And if Hamas had not taken hostages? Would Israel have entered Gaza anyway? Perhaps it would have limited itself to seizing the Philadelphia corridor to block supplies from Egypt, letting Gaza implode on its own. Perhaps. But now it’s too late for hypotheticals.
The reality is ruthless: taking hostages is equivalent to inviting your enemy to devastate your home.
That is why I repeat: the population of Gaza must be freed from a terrorist leadership that oppresses it and condemns it to misery. Those men and women deserve a normal life, where they are not at risk of death for being gay, where they do not fear speaking out for fear of being executed in public. ⁷ (Warning: Graphic images)
Today, Israel is leveling Gaza City. But tomorrow? Tomorrow could see the emergence of a demilitarized Palestinian state. A vassal entity, perhaps, but one in which people can finally live with dignity. And, above all, a context where Israelis can board a bus without fearing they may never return home.⁸
War, war never changes. But men do, through the roads they walk.
