Hello, America. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here. Rainy Day where I am. I hope you got blue skies wherever you are. The phone number 87797937425, should you wish to be on this program.

I want to start with a phone call before I move on to other subjects because I really do want to move on to some other stuff because I'm just, I'm, I got to move on for my own well-being. I need to move on. some other stuff because I'm just I'm I got to move on for my own well-being I need

to move on but first I want to go to Robert Robert welcome to the show how are you doing well

doing well Eric appreciate what you do very much thank you um I am looking at a map of the Gaza

strip as I speak and this is it's a question I have, based on the news reports that I've heard.

I'm looking at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, where it borders on Egypt, and I see this Rafa, which, as I understand, is one of the gateways, or the southern gateway out of Gaza into Egypt.

And I've heard that Israel has bombed that.

I mean, and I'm confused.

I mean, I'm a big supporter of Israel, but I'm just confused.

I appreciate some clarity on if Israel wants the Gaza citizens to leave, and I understand they got to control it because

they don't want stuff coming in, but if they want the Israeli, I mean, the Gaza citizens to leave

so they can do what they need to do militarily, why would they want to strike or bomb the

I know the answer to this one, actually. So do you have your map in front of it? would they want to strike or bomb the Rafa?

I know the answer to this one, actually.

So do you have your map in front of you?

Yes.

Okay.

So if you see Rafa, I don't know if you can zoom in or not, but towards the south end of Rafa, there is a gate, Al-Tiara gate.

And it runs through the Rafa crossing Street, and it goes to Selahedin Al-Urbore Street,

which runs all the way up to the north end of the Gaza Strip.

There's a reason Israel have bombed it, and they did bomb it.
