– They won’t need to bend arms to get new recruits in Gaza. It’ll be like in Derry after Bloody Sunday.
– Can’t say I’d be volunteering meself to be honest.
– Here. If Hamas come knocking at the door of your house –
– Ye mean pushing at the flap of your tent?
– Yeah at your tent. Point is, ye can’t say no to Hamas.
– Well the days ov’ pushing people aff’ high buildings is definitely over for a while…
– They have other motivational techniques. Ladders and shit.

– Granted. But still. I think Hamas’re totally fucked.
– Well they held onto the hostages the whole time didn’t they? Despite the blitzkrieg.
– Ah stop. Just stop now for a minute. Ye can’t go calling what happened in Gaza a blitzkrieg.
– Why not? Sure isn’t it exactly the same as what the Allies did to Dresden?
– Naw. Fuck. For a start – it was the Nazi’s who came up with blitzkrieg so ye’ll prob’ly be called anti-semitic for using it about Israel attacking Hamas right?
– Ah, even pro-peace jews are being called anti-semites. Go figure.
– True enough. An’ secondly, the war wasn’t fast in Gaza. They blitzed it for a year and a half. So it wasn’t a blitz per se.
– Ok. So technically it wasn’t a blitzkreig? But would ye call it carpet bombing then? Cause precision military targeting doesn’t really describe.
– All I’m saying is that it wasn’t a proper blitzkrieg. And ye can look up what happened in Dresden yer’self.
– Ok. But the Gaza thing started as a blitz, as in a short war. Ye know. The boys’ll be home for Christmas and all that jazz.
– The definitely will. But no one knows which Christmas…
