‘I’ve been a left-winger all my life. I don’t believe in violence. I always wanted co-existence,’ says the British-Israeli artist.

‘Even in our darkest hours, I told my children that in Gaza there were mothers like me, and children like them, and they are not the devil. Now I realise how naive I was.

‘There is still a part of me that wants peace, of course I do. But these monsters – Hamas – have to be defeated. And the world has to help us.

The mother-of-three would jog across the fields and look towards the Gaza border, just 3km away.

She would see the city, see the sea and be filled with the hope of peace one day – certain that there were mothers just like her on the other side of the fence who wanted peace, too.

The “peace” thing is a scam. It is blackmail. They’re saying, “If you let us be in charge, we’ll stop attacking you until we need something else.”

At least she learned her lesson.

‘They cut open pregnant women and killed babies still attached. They tortured babies and beheaded children. They tied people up then burned them alive. Even the Nazis wanted to kill quickly – these men took their time torturing children.

‘They are the most violent organisation in the history of mankind, and this cannot be our future. They cannot be in the world we give our children.

Was that supposed to be a haiku?

NATO Hamas in the form of Ukraine sent invaders into Mother Russia, slaughtering most they encountered and beating, raping and kidnapping the others? Yeah, righttt...I think it was the other way around.

Earlier today I walked past the campus of Boston University and saw a bunch of those 9th Century pig fornicators screaming anti Israel cr@p. Despicable.

A magician - false prophet

Can make

The statue of liberty disapperar

By moving - pointing away

the stage

To a blank world

They can substitute - send funny pictures to you

Then the real beautiful world

Of truth - love

They paint that ugly

“The “peace” thing is a scam.”

Peace is that brief, glorious period in human history when everyone is busy reloading.
