When organizations like the UNRWA breed dependence then the Gazans will never learn to be self sufficient. Maybe they should thank their Hamas/Fatah masters for destroying all of the greenhouses Israel left them after the pullout. I'll bet the food would be welcomed now. Complete disengagement by Israel is the only answer. No electricity, no fuel no border crossings. Let their Egyptian brothers open their border to help.

While British headlines scream at Israel for causing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, few are aware that Hamas has been stealing fuel supplies intended for Gaza’s population and blowing up the crossing points to provoke Israel into closing them, to escalate the conflict and inflame the world. Even fewer are aware that many of the most inflammatory images from the region are fabricated, since both Hamas and Hezbollah routinely stage ‘atrocities’ or artificially exaggerate incidents using doctored footage — courtesy of British journalists who are threatened with murder or kidnap if they fail to toe the line.

Hamas is being responsible for everything that goes on in the Gaza area. The responsibility for the casualties among Palestinian civilians rests upon the shoulders of Hamas, which operates under cover of the civilian population while endangering it by holding bomb-making and explosive materials in its midst, Hamas is being responsible for everything that goes on in the Gaza area, for all of the casualties. Hamas is also responsible for some of the civilian casualties, the ones who are not involved in the fighting, who are hurt in the course of these operations, as a result of the fact that it operates from within civilian concentrations, and by planting and holding explosive charges among the civilian population as described at : http://xrl.us/bi9r6

Why is Israel still being held accountable for Gaza, these are Egyptians who should be getting their aid, support, and electricity via Egypt.

I know what I'm about to write is not "politically correct"and that most probably won't be published. But I am sure that it's Barak's and Kadima's fault. They never learn! Remember what the Chinese did in Tien Han'Men? What the Mexicans in the Plaza de la Republica? What the Russians in Georgia? If you are about doing something DO IT! Don't do half and regret, Doing that's the only way to be sure it will be ineffective and you will be the bad guy forever!

Launching rockets & ding-dong "militant" behavior gets a lean reward. If ever a group of people needed to be turned over an adult knee, and have a firm hand cracked off an angry, misbehaving bottom, it surely the Gaza fok. Time to grow up, and start playing the responsible, together adult, sour little Islamic boy.

Egypt also shares a border with gaza. why is it Israel's fault that they don't have alot, and not egypt's. israel sends in trucloads every day with food, fuel, and medicine, and supplies them with electricity. Egypt does nothing, and yet Israel is the bad guy. why the doube standard?just plain old anti-semitism.

As long as hamass allows the boom boom of the qassams, they should be grateful that the surrrenderist 1%ers allow the drip in. Any REAL leaders would have totally shut it down!
