About 2750 years ago Assyrian King Tiglath-Pileser III was besieging some town not far away from Gaza [proto-Falluja, maybe]. He was a great philanthropist, and so he put the besieged on a strict diet by throwing circumwallation walls around that place. When the starving besieged started trickling out, he had them impaled on the stakes he had thoughtfully planted on his circumwallation walls in full view of the besieged town - and then flayed alive. This sight finally broke the spirit of resistance, the place surrendered, the survivors were gently admonished and sold into slavery. And the rumor spread far and wide, and for the next century there was no resistance to Assyria in that area. And the MSM scribes from "New Babylon Times", "Assyria Globe", "Nineveh Inquirer" and their kind and ilk were praising great, kind, wise and mighty king Tiglath-Pileser III in cuneiform on every flat surface available to them.
