I'm sure our dispicable gov't. will show great interest in Egypt's efforts to do us more harm. As it happens, Egypt's interests coincide with the interests of our self-centered self-interested short-sighted strategically-challenged political hacks ...... The only problem is that this does not in any way coincide with the country's strategic interests. The national interest, of course, is not a priority for our political misleaders - their only priority is their narrow political advantage no matter the damage to our strategic position. Egypt is not our friend & ally. It is an enemy state with whom we have what can best be described as a temporary truce. To think for one nanosecond that Egypt seeks our benefit is delusional. Egypt has it's own interests which, unlike us, it pursues vigourously. But our craven unscrupulous politicians will not hesitate to sacrifice the national interest if it gives them the slightest personal advantage.

Pre-election babbling aside, Livni hardly inspires confidence given her previous record. Let's just state the obvious ..... It is already very difficult to trust Mr Netanyahu to defend the interests of the country even given the fact that Likud has many excellent candidates on their party list. To think that Livni & her collection of failed political hacks, parasites, & assorted incompetents & appeasers in Olmert's Kadima party will defend this country & it's citizens is outright ludicrous. The point is that this gov't. IS indifferent to everything except it's own narrow political interest.

When they have gone into hiding like the rats they are. They leave their own people to suffer our long time coming assault. How the Pals can vote them in I will never know (unless its out of fear!) But there again the only alternative is Fatah and they hate us just as much. Our silly idiotic, corrupt gov. send back their terrorists and leave our Shalit in there. So you could say that they do not care about their own too. It's time for the Meshiach to come and sort them all out!

"Incompetent Bimbo" or "Mossad Beauty"? Well let me tell you folks she sure as s--t aint no "Beauty", And I dont think her paycheck is issued each month by haMossad. That leaves "Incompetent Bimbo" and that appleation is underscored, bulleted, yellow highlighted and asterisked by the unknowing, scatterbrained and incompetent, underachieving performance of the lady her own damn self.

She ignores those thrown out of Gaza, the reason for this mess. Many still have no homes, due to the total indifference and worse, of this government.

Nowhere in the many articles is there a genuine curiosity about what what life is like in Gaza. No one is interested in a different perspective, especially if it challenges your cherished slogans. No one is going beyond the old, tired slogans. Plenty of reference, though, to terrorism, Qassam missiles and Palestinian snubbing our valiant efforts to make peace; none whatsoever to occupation, house demolitions, siege, land expropriation or settlement expansion, not to mention the killing, imprisoning and impoverishment of the Palestinian civilian population. As if Israel had nothing to do with the conflict, as if Israel were just living a normal, innocent life and bad people decided to throw Qassam rockets. Above all, no sense of Israel's responsibility, or any willingness to accept responsibility for the ongoing violence and conflict. Instead just a thoughtless, automatic appeal to an image of Gaza and “Arabs” (Israel does NOT generally use the term “Palestinians”) that is diametrically opposed to the reality, a slavish repeating of mindless (and wrong) slogans which serve only to eliminate any possibility of truly grasping the situation. In short, a fantasy Gaza as perceived from within a bubble carefully constructed so as to deflect any uncomfortable reality.

The task is to break the Israeli siege, an absolutely illegal siege which has plunged a million and a half Palestinians into wretched conditions: imprisoned in their own homes, exposed to extreme military violence, deprived of the basic necessities of life, stripped of their most fundamental human rights and dignity. The siege violates the most fundamental principle of international law: the inadmissibility of harming civilian populations. Israel also attempt to absolve itself of responsibility for what is happening in Gaza. Israel’s claim that there is no Occupation, or that the Occupation ended with “disengagement,” is patently false. Occupation is defined in international law as having effective control over a territory. Nor has the siege anything to do with “security.” Like other elements of the Occupation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where Israel has also besieged cities, towns, villages and whole regions, the siege on Gaza is fundamentally political. It is intended to isolate the democratically-elected government of Palestine and break its power to resist Israeli attempts to impose an apartheid regime over the entire country.
