After telling us for weeks that everyone in Gaza was dead or about to die of thirst, apparently the biggest problem in Hamastan, apart from exploding weapons caches in the kitchen, is losing internet access.

Hamas uses the internet for money, it’s financed partly by cryptocurrency from terror sympathizers, propaganda and communications. The Biden administration however insists that internet access is a human right.

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller cautions Israel against again cutting internet access for Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel cut communications into the Strip on Friday as it launched the first stage of its ground incursion, switching it back on the next day following pressure from Washington. Then this morning, phone and internet went down again for several hours.

Miller notes that the US government has been contacting its citizens via email about securing their exit from Gaza, so it expects that internet access remain available

Apart from everything wrong with that, Miller just made any U.S. citizens into hostages once again to ensure that Hamas gets to keep its internet access.

.The State Department spokesperson says he recognizes Israel has to make certain operational decisions as it advances its military campaign. “But as a general principle, internet access needs to remain viable for people of Gaza.”

What general principle is that exactly? Did we make sure that ISIS retained internet access so it could post the latest and greatest beheading videos, and collect bitcoin tips?

Is there anything else Israel needs to do for Hamas? DoorDash delivery? Positive Yelp reviews?

This isn’t how you fight wars and it sure as hell isn’t how you win them.
