Episode 416, The Andrew Parker Show: When Israel Left Gaza — Lessons the World Forgot

In this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker revisits a pivotal moment in Middle East history: Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza. Far from ushering in peace, it opened the door to Hamas’s rise, rocket fire, and decades of terror.

Drawing on Jeff Jacoby’s powerful article “When Israel Left Gaza, Everything Got Worse” (Boston Globe), Andrew unpacks how history has been ignored, distorted, and used to fuel false narratives in today’s media.

Key topics include:

• The 2005 Israeli disengagement and its consequences
• The atrocities of October 7 and Hamas’s strategy of human shields
• How Western governments enable Hamas’s propaganda
• Why the conflict is about survival, not land
• Lessons from denazification after WWII and their relevance today

A must-listen for anyone seeking clarity on Gaza, Hamas, and the future of Israel.
