The New York Times has discovered that the Israeli Mongol hordes are systematically destroying civilian infrastructure in Gaza (“Israel’s Controlled Demolitions are Razing Neighborhoods in Gaza,” 01 February 2024). The joke says that Palestinians only sing the chorus because they have no verses [houses] left. [After you left, were there still any houses left standing?] Every tank commander knew, and even the simple soldiers knew, that if something turns out to be not OK, they can say they saw something suspicious. They just chose [a house]—the tank commander said, “Just pick the farthest one, so it does the most damage.” Revenge of sorts.
