Israel should be letting hamas and the rest of thearab/islamofacist states take care of the pawns they call "palestinians." The arabs will see this as nothing more than than continued success of the missle/mortar attacks and will never stop or let up. Thes thugs think nothing of causing deaths and destruction in Israel everyday. To hell with what the international community thinks and turn gazastan into dust and rubble, and except no other outcome. What have the islamofacists done for Israel lately... nothing but continuous terror around the clock.

Let's see what do we have; the Gazans have democratically elected a government that has promised to annihilate us. They have fired thousands of rockets into our civilian towns and villages. We send them food and fuel. The end result is food to feed the terrorists and fuel so that they can transport fighters and rockets around. In the twisted world of Olmert and Barak there must be some kind of logic here.

I wonder if the poor of Israel will get a bit of bread as well. Shame on you.

The "blockade" such as it is, can end any time that Hamas releases kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, revokes the genocidal Hamas Charter and agrees to recognize the right of Israel to exist and to negotiate peace with Israel. EU and USA financial contributions are being used to maintain a lawless, genocidal extremist regime that persecutes Christians and to finance terrorism against Israel. The problem to the solution in the Middle East is the jihadist ideology to whose followers it is their religious duty to fight the infidels and therefore any peace treaty or hudna can only be temporary. Peace is by definition impossible until we tackle the jihadists". As to human rights let’s be fair : http://tinyurl.com/8dqk9k

A 'humanitarian crises' will still be reported by the media and other nations will ignore 'blockade'--why dont you whack the terrorists first in self-defense -- feed them after to 'win friends and influence people'!

feed them after you whack them ..you will help more innocent than feeding them before...why should others respect a pourous blockade if israel doesnt?

1)There are no "Palestinians" and no "Palestine". 2) Jews and Jews alone have 4000 years of history in Israel - including Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and only Jews have legal, moral and historical rights to Israel. 3) Arabs are stealing our land and want us dead and will not stop until they have destroyed us. It's not about land for peace. We gave them Gaza. Do we have peace in Gaza? 4) Arabs in general and Arabs in Gaza, Judea and Samaria in particular, are admirers of Hitler and Nazism - they are Holocaust supporters and/or deniers. They rewrite our history, they think that 1400 years of Muslim oppression of Jews is okay, they think mass murder on Jews is okay, they think it is okay to call Jews "apes" and "pigs". 5) We are feeding them and they are killing us. The entire government should be tried for HIGH TREASON. What other country would give aid and support to the very enemy that wants it dead? Expel the Arab population of Gaza, Judea and Samaria, reconquer our biblical homeland, annex it and repopulate it with Jews. How difficult can it be?

Israel has been purchased by America. If Israel does what you say and goes against America's wishes, then Israel looses parts for the weapons and for the planes purchased from America. Israel looses the United Nations veto power from America for all the anti Israel resolutions that the UN has passed against Israel. Israel looses aid from America. Israel looses radar systems to protect the country from missiles, etc, etc, etc. Oh, and Israel looses by doing what America says because the road map from Saudi Arabia is designed to destroy Israel. This is what happens when a G-d given country (Israel) puts its trust in man and not in G-d.

Its to sensetive an issue right now for Barak to publicly agree to Hamas demands in exchange for an extension to the ceasefire that never was. He doesn't though have the courage to back a military operation so he is sending hints to Hamas stop the attacks and we will agree to your demands but it needs to look like you made the first move. This is another example of this government running away from a fight. Livni talks tough but in reality she id exactly the same sell out who will always run from a fight as Olmert & Barak only difference is the genitals. We even have Meeretz probably for the first time in history calling for a military operation but we have the government as usual talking alot and doing nothing except calling on Gazans to rise up and overthrow Hamas and whining about how one eigth of the country is now in range of rockets.

AGREED The problem is in the post cold war era the arabs are alot more useful to America than Israel is. Since the US has realised that the war on terror was lost the US is now going out of its way to suck up to the islamic world. Obama especialy will be like that. The islamic world doesn't like Israel so if America is going to get into their good books in the hope that the likes of Al Quaida will not go around blowing up anymore buildings then the only solution is to use the soverignty Israel has sold to them over the years for small rewards like the occasional UN veto, loan garuntes to finance the mass settlement of Russian olim & weapons they now use that power to put the squeeze on. We need to start looking for other friends like India and even countries that America might consider hostile like Russia & China. We could find ourselves earning more from trade with those countries than we get as handouts from the US to keep us under control. With America we have fallen into the same trap we fell into with the Europeans in the 50s & 60s untill Israel upset the French in 1967 by winning the war. Today we have become reliant on America for everything political and military .. we are like fish on a line if we are naughty we get reeeled out the water to teach us a lesson and then when we appologise we are put back in until the next time.

No wonder Israel's enemies continue to pummel Israel with rocket attacks because the Leftist leaders are rewarding them with food for their aggressions. My goodness! What utter stupidity and incompetence!

Has anyone ever heard about a country who is getting attacked by rockets daily providing their enemy with aid?????? I am just in shock about this and it makes me wonder what country am I really living in.

I didn't understand from the article: who is providing the humanitarian aid? Is it the israeli government? israeli ngos? foreign aid?
