The Israel/Palestine Conflict Created A Peculiar Paranoia For Gazza

A new documentary film about Paul Gascoigne premieres this week (trailer at the bottom of the page). Speaking to the Press Association about the release, the former England midfielder revealed something particularly peculiar about himself.

Such was the frequency with which Gascoigne related stories were appearing in the media at one point in his life, anytime news about the Gaza Strip was broadcast, he immediately though it was about him.

Sometimes it's got to the stage now where I hate Saturday nights, because jack shit knows what's coming in the papers on Sunday.

I tell you what was the worst one, the Gaza Strip. You know the term the Gaza Strip, remember that? That was murder for me.

I'd be sitting there having a shave and that, and the news would come on, 'And the Gazza...', and I'd be like, 'What's that?!', and
I realised it was the Gaza Strip. I couldn't wait for that to end.

There's another reason for the Israel and Palestine conflict to cease, it might contribute just a little bit to the sanity of Gazza.
