Listen, tomorrow 5,000 of our mujahideen will cross the fence and slaughter as many occupiers as possible.
Excellent. And on their holy day. I knew you had something ambitious planned. I’m only sorry I’m too old to join.
You will see it all. It will be filmed and streamed. The images will make the Zionists live in fear for generations.
Won’t their response be devastating?
We have built hundreds of kilometers of tunnels beneath schools, mosques, hospitals and UNRWA facilities.
Brilliant. To protect our women and children.
No, Habibi. To protect our fighters and weapons.
And if the Zionists impose a siege?
We have stored everything our fighters need underground. They can take what they need and report where supplies are running low.
But what about the women and children? Where can civilians go that Israel cannot reach?
The hospitals. The Zionists know the world will not tolerate attacks on hospitals. We have also placed command centers and media offices inside them.
Media offices in hospitals. Ingenious.
The cameras will be waiting for every martyr, whether child or fighter.
But images of dead fighters could demoralize our people.
They will all wear civilian clothes. Every death will look civilian.
Will the international media really believe that none of our fighters are being killed?
You give them too much credit. Al Jazeera and the local stringers know how the story must be told. They report what we give them. The rest repeat it.
Even though the media is controlled by the Zionists.
Exactly.
And here is the best part. We will take dozens of Zionist hostages and scatter them across Gaza. Some will be held in tunnels, others in family homes. We will release videos of them crying for help.
Incredible. But won’t that bring a ground invasion?
Perhaps. But the hostages will be almost impossible to find. Even if the Zionists soldiers locate them, they will risk killing them during the rescue.
But then the Zionists will bomb until we release them.
The world will not tolerate it. Within days, governments will demand a ceasefire. When Israel refuses, the UN will come to our defense.
And the human rights organizations? Won’t they condemn the taking of hostages and the use of hospitals?
Don’t be foolish. Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the international media rely on Palestinian organizations and local Palestinians who know which crimes to report and which to ignore.
You have thought of everything. But I worry many Palestinians will die before the world stops the Zionist aggression.
That will help us. Our supporters will call it "genocide" every day, at every opportunity, until the Zionists are forced to defend themselves from the accusation rather than from us.
I hope you are right. You know the Zionists better than anyone after so many years in their prisons and hospitals. I still cannot believe Zionist doctors saved your life. Now you take your revenge!
Yes. This will be something they never forget.
They will experience a national trauma.
The real trauma will come when they discover that the world doesn't care about their suffering.
But the world doesn't care much about Palestinian suffering either.
True. Palestinian suffering is useful to them. It allows the world to condemn the Zionists, absolve itself of its violent past, and chant for a Free Palestine from the river to the sea.
Yahya, you will make history. It is only a pity the Palestinian people must suffer again.
Their suffering has always served the struggle.
Tomorrow at dawn.

I mentioned yesterday the impact The League of Gentlemen had on me when it first appeared on our screens. Its radio equivalent, for me, would have to be The Shuttleworths. The series follows the everyday adventures of Sheffield's favourite singer-songwriter, John Shuttleworth, together with his family and sole agent, Ken Worthington. Written by and performed by Graham Fellows, AKA Jilted John, it was one of the finest things to emerge from radio comedy when it debuted in 1993, rivaling anything since I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. In my view, it remains every bit as brilliant today. In fact, I should try and get Graham on the podcast.
Anyway, here's a track that appeared on John's brilliant BBC series, 500 Bus Stops - the seminal Eggs and Gammon.
Come on!
So for the hard of understanding at the back, let's do this ONE MORE TIME...
So, based on your own post, Grifter, the fall in the Gazan population is mostly people leaving not dying and, since Hamas say they have paid widows' stipends to 50,000 women, that means only 20,000 of the 70,000 deaths were civilians. That's the lowest non-combatant to combatant ratio in the history of urban warfare. And I'm pretty sure that 20k deaths out of 2.3 million people ain't a "genocide". Whatever you think of the IDF, the one thing they're not is incompetent. If genocide had been the aim, that wouldn't be the death toll.
Every summer we are told Britain is facing “record temperatures”.
Fine. But records are based on relatively short instrumental datasets, the UK-wide series only goes back to 1884.
More importantly, if hotter summers are now the “new normal”, why are governments spending billions trying to change the weather…
…but so little helping people adapt to it?
Where is the mass rollout of cooling in care homes, hospitals, schools and social housing?
Where are grants for shading, ventilation and air conditioning?
If heat is the threat we are told it is, adaptation should be a national priority.
At the moment, the policy looks backwards: lots of money spent on symbolism, not enough spent helping people cope with reality.

@Dearme2_ Nothing at all. Never ever had a dark period. Why would you? We are alive, we have the world at our feet. We have people we love and who love us.
Life is short. Love it and live it.

At last Labour realise this, for 14 years we have heard how shit the Tories were - True. Labour, have taken shit to a new level!
So many broken promises.
