I cannot understand why Israel keeps any of the Gaza crossings open. Hamas is the sworn enemy of Israel. Giving your enemy food, fuel and medical treatment makes no sense. If they need food let them get it from Egypt or their friends in Iran.

If israel DOESN'T help - they are called an apartheid and mass murderers. I just saw this post that a friend wrote about - she's in Israel. So true. http://realisrael.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/are-palestinians-against-receiving-aid-theyre-shooting-themselves-in-the-foot/
