I served in Gaza as an IDF soldier. I remember it well. Rafah. Khan Yunus. Gaza City. I know these cities in my bones. Gaza was, then, small, ragged, dirty: someone called it the anus of the Middle East. I don’t imagine that under the present dictatorship of Hamas– who are more interested in slaughtering Israelis than attending to the welfare of their own citizens– it is much different now.
