the spanish president would have enough on his plate with his failing economy...but read this and you'll understand why he's obsessed with Israel. Read more about Pilar Rahola http://frontpagemag.com/2010/06/09/confronting-europes-war-on-the-jews/

The blockade is their under the rules of the Quartet under which Hamas needs to acknowledge Israels right to exist and to back existing agreements. These were the criteria to lift the siege that they set. So now Spain wants out? OK

i think its funny after all these articles that have been printed about lifting the blockade....Abbas has really no power in Gaza, Hamas does...so does really voting in favor to life a blockade really help Abbas? Im sure the West Bank gets nothing from humanitarian aide brought into Gaza,im positive that Hamas probably takes it into its own custody and sells its for a profit

as long as hamas accepts the existance of the state of israel, and cease all attacks and violence towards us, we will even help them build their own state. it's give and take. now all i said is the optimal outcome. do i believe it will happen? haha, never! why? because islam seeks the jewish annihilation. good luck!

It was so encouraging to see how the Spanish Prime Minister actually demanded that Hamas declare an end to its state of war with Israel before demanding of Israel to lift its blockade. WAIT! THAT'S MY ALARM CLOCK! I think I'll snooze for another five minutes.

this is yet more Spanish backed EU hypocrisy reeking of anti-Semitism. Israel must continue the blockade until their kidanpped and tortured son is home. Where is balance and where is justice? There will NEVER be a 'palestine' like their has NEVER been a 'palestinian' nation. Amen.

if the usa and the eu will force israel to put and end to the gaza blocked, israel should put and end to trade of goods from israel gaza, the electricity and water to. CLOSE THE BORDER with gaza for everithing, the gaza will receive their goods from their sea ports EVERYTHING

and Leftist appeasers!

European democracy will commit suicide with all its up and coming Muslim voters and terrorists. Good luck with that.

He belongs in the US.

Ashkelon and Jewish communities around Gaza ? When the Muslim Brotherhood rockets will start flying into Israel because of the lifting of the blockade are the EU human shields going to stay in place or run away like rats? If they don't promise to stay put and protect Israeli citizens with their bodies then the whole thing is nonsense.

Then they can deal with the mess in Gaza. If forced to lift the blockade, Israel should not allow one iota of anything into Gaza. Be it food, electricity, water, or money. Enact full disengagement, as such as we can not be labeled an occupying power. Then it will be up to the world to deal with that damn mess.

Anyone calling for an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza has a moral duty to present a plan for protecting Israelis from further rocket attacks. After all, the only reason that Israel has blockaded Gaza in the first place is because of the rocket attacks. Israel (and probably many Gaza residents) would love for Gaza to become a free and prosperous trade zone like Singapore.

Than what ?.

Why let they Turkey occupy Kurdistan? this week turkey bombed south kurdistan town ... where are the protests of EU and Obama?

In this case you need to do a complete job not a half ass one. EU Human shields are part of the deal, take it or leave Israel to deal alone with Hamas. Get some balls and make a choice, do not stand somewhere in between as most of you did in the Holocaust.

If Europeans are far too precious, then they should shut up and let Israel do it their way. If they want a better life for those in Gaza who deserve one and are giving advice on how to go about it, then they should know that those that don't deserve a better life and are shooting rockets and disrupting life in Gaza need protecting from - from the inside and out.

One from a country that has never got its act together since it persecuted Jews and anyone else with faith in 1492 over-run by islam and the wrong sort of catholicism and the other a lying arab. Funny alliance, hope history does not repeat itself

you're going DOWN.

The Madrid attacks. The terrorists cannot be placated. And, the Spanish should recall their past with their inquisitions and their violent hatred of the Jewish people. Fully one-fourth of those living in Spain have Jewish heritage, according to a recent study. It is more than time for the people of Spain to stop the hatred of the Jewish people.

Ynet reported on Zapatero and Israel in 2006. A photo shows him wearing a Palestinian kaffiyeh. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3278919,00.html
