TONY SAYS:

So, listen up, you wanna hear about this Gaza thing? It’s a real mess, a goddamn… shudders… a real cazzo of a situation. Reminds me of that time Paulie Walnuts tried to cook clams in that rusty old pot… total disaster. Only this ain’t clams, it’s people. Lots and lots of people.

Apparently, these Israelis, they're moving in on Gaza City – a million people, they say. A million! That’s like, a whole lotta fuckin’ people. They been bombing the hell outta the place for days, artillery fire, the whole nine yards. Like a fuckin' Fourth of July fireworks display, only instead of pretty colors, it's…well, you get the picture.

This Guterres guy, the UN chief – sounds like a real stiff – he’s screamin’ for a ceasefire. Says it’ll avoid "death and destruction." Duh! Like that's news to anyone. The guy’s about as sharp as a marble. Like he’s never seen a war before.

But these Israelis? They ain't listenin’. They’re pushin’ ahead with this whole takeover plan. They’re talkin’ about "terror strongholds". Sounds like they’re makin' excuses. Bullshit justifications. You know, like when Chrissy tried to tell Livia he was at a business meeting when he was really…well, let's just say he was busy.

They’re callin’ up sixty thousand reservists. Sixty thousand! That’s a whole army, right? Like that time we had to move that shipment of…uh…construction materials… from Newark to Philly. Needed every guy we could get.

Netanyahu – this Israeli Prime Minister – he’s sayin’ he's "shortening timelines". Sounds like he's in a rush. Maybe he's got a reservation at a fancy restaurant? He's also calling it the "last terror strongholds" Yeah, right. Like there’s such a thing as the "last stronghold" in this kinda thing. More like the "next stronghold" or the "next fuckin’ stronghold"

Hamas, they’re bitchin’ about it, sayin’ it's a "brutal war against innocent civilians." They got a point. War’s always brutal. Always. But they’re also bitchin’ about some ceasefire proposal. They rejected it, then threw it back. Like a plate of cold gabagool. You know, nobody wants that shit.

And the rest of the world? France and everyone else, they're sayin’ it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Macron, the French guy, he’s warnng it could "plunge the whole region into a permanent war". The guy talks like a lawyer. He’s right, of course, but the fcking point is, he’s a fcking lawyer!

The Red Cross – they’re all worried about more people gettin’ displaced and the whole thing getting worse. Like a bad rash that just keeps spreading. The fcking truth is, it already is fcking worse.

So there you have it. Another goddamn mess. A whole lotta people running around scared, and a whole lotta blood being spilled. It's a fuckin' shame, really. Reminds me of that time… nah, forget it. You wouldn’t understand. Just… takes a long drag of his cigarette … try to enjoy your fuckin’ espresso. Capisce?
