31. Just the facts

Here is a total list of our obligations to Gaza: Yup that is it. We have no legal obligations to Gaza. Our border crossings on Israeli territory and every single nation in the world gets to decide if anything every crosses their borders. We have that right too. The Arabs do have a border with Egypt so the claim of blockade it totally false - it is up to the Egyptians if they decide to allow anything in or out. Those are the facts - and nobody in the entire world have ever proven otherwise.
32. #14

I have heard many definitions of "unilateral". Usually it seems to mean "without France's or Russia's agreement". But this is the first time I hear of the extreme. Israel's creation by the UN was "unilateral". Interesting. The covenant with G-d is repeated in the Quran, in case anybody still cares. It also has nothing to do with 1948. If Muslims want to ignore the Quran and fight against Israel, so they will. It's up to them. It also isn't important. UN resolution 181? The partition plan? Israel accepted, the Arabs did not. And yes, even before the ink was dry the Arabs attacked. That is an important point. Why did they do it?
33. There is no naval blockade of Cuba
Elmer ,   USA   (07.16.10)
It began and ended in 1962 during the "Cuban missile crisis." Ships from around the world visit and leave Cuban ports with no interference. The U.S. has a partial, and only limited, trade embargo (the State Department calls it "sanctions") against Cuba for American citizens and business entities only, but that's it. This is easy to fact-check using Google.
