causing untold hardships on civilian population of these countries during the WW2.Compensations should be paid. And to preempt the usual arguments -top of Nazi esablishment or Japanesy High Command weren'øt suffering at all.

No one is starving half of them are FAT. Not going to give them a easier target then they already have.

If "aid" means helping transfer supplies to people, the "aid groups" should address Egypt that has a border with Gaza and is allied with the Hamas regime. If "aid" means "aid to the genocide of the Jews", the groups should be shut down, their members moved to Gaza City or Rafiah, and their ill-gotten fund transferred to victims of Hamas attacks.

stop sending suicide bombers, and stop blasting us with rockets etc. etc. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY DO ALL THAT WE WILL LIFT THE BLOCKADE! (oh and yes they must first of all recognize our right to exist)

... deprived from the citizenship and locked up by Egypt on the small territory, without the right of repatriation.

"For over five years in Gaza, more than 1.6 million people have been under blockade in violation of international law." Didn't the Palmer Report state that Israel's blockade is fully legal and internationally recognized? The Report did not address the issue of goods that are transferred, but gave the blanket assertion that the BLOCKADE IS LEGAL. That means that Israel can cut off ALL shipments to Gaza. That is, after all, the purpose of a blockade. "More than half of these people are children." Would those be the same children that are raised from birth to hate Jews? Would those be the same children that parade around in uniforms and carrying guns while in kindergarten? "Israel imposed restrictions on trade to Gaza in 2001 following the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising and tightened them further in 2007 after Hamas seized power in the coastal enclave adjacent to Egypt, which also enforces a blockade." Did these organizations make a similar demand of Egypt?

Do those cretins never tire of chanting their mantra of 'international law'? It is *perfectly* legal to impose a blockade on a territory whose residents have sworn to kill you. Nor is there any 'crisis' in Gaza, save for the 'crisis' of obesity amongst its well fed vermin.

Amnesty, Save the Children etc should go to gaza and check how people live they dont look hungry food markets look very well stocked from pictures which are shown sometimes and find out what do hamas do with money they get they dont use all it for their people

All these groups should be dismantled for the spreading of useless information & total irrelevance.

Who pays for all the goods coming into gaza...For all the fuel, for all the energy. Sane people realize that the blockade stops some weapons coming into gaza and it is with 100% certainty that hamas would spend all aid dollars/euros for more weapons if there was no blockade. Hamas cares little for the welfare of the gazans

Of rockets landing on our children and our families ending. Why is it that 50 aid groups get together when worse atrocities are occurring in Syria, Africa and parts of Asia and Europe?

Are these same organizations speakung out agaisnst the atrocities in Syria, where over 10 million people are being held under siege by Assad. In Syria, a thousand people are being killed per month - and this has been going on for over a year and a half. That's over 14,000 killed. Their priorities are wonky - what do they prefer? Wholesale murder, massacre and rape in Syria or a defensive blockade in Gaza, which actually saves the lives of people on both sides of the border: Israelis, because the terrorist barbarians are not free to slaughter us whenever they feel like it, and the Palestinians, because there is no need for reprisals. Thus, the civilian popultion that the Hamas uses as human shields are safe. Hey! AI, WHO etc, GET REAL!

If these aid groups really were concerned about the Gaza people, they would try to get them to tone down their violence so that they can gain legitimacy, but that is not their goal, they are just anti-israel hippies with an agenda skewed by their tax recognition status.

Gaza has among the world's highest rates of obesity. So much for the myth of the starving Palestinian.

It is interesting that Amnesty International, Save the Children, the World Health Organization, Oxfam, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and five other UN bodies do not call for a blockade of Syria, Libya, Iraq and all the other countries where people are murdered daily in their hundreds by the regimes. The blocakde of Gaza which they know perfectly well is there to protect innocent civilians from murderous attacks is condemned only because Israel is a Jewish country. Thats called racism

These Israel hating whack-jobs have their own perception of international law. Since even a official UN investigation have found the blockade legal and within Israel's rights.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SHOULD SHUT UP, THEY ARE A LOAD OF ANTI ISRAEL AND ANTI-SEMITIC BASTARDS MOSTLY FROM ENGLAND, THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT SYRIA. WERE HAVE YOU SEEN IN ANY PAPER THAT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS AGAINST ASSADS KILLING OF HIS OWN PEOPLE, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. ISRAEL DONT END THE GAZA BLOCKADE. AND KEEP BUILDING IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA. Y.NET PLEASE PRINT THIS.

THE ORGANISATIONS CAN ALL LEH IN DRED OXFAM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, AND ALL THE OTHER ARSOLES. DON LIFT THE BLOCKADE ISRAEL. TAKE SINAI AND GAZA BACK AND STAY THEIR FOR ALWAYS. GREATER ISRAEL.

Go to and Assad to stop killing women and children! Tell the regimes in Africa to stop killing, raping and abusing men, women and children! You make us sick with your one side condemnation of Israel and you cowardice when it comes to other real human right violations, particularly in the Muslim world!

JULES YOUR SO RIGHT I VOLUNTEERED IN 1956 AND WAS IN A KIBBUTZ CALLED CARMIA, MULL AZA.THEY ARE EGYPTIANS NOT PALESTINIANS BUT YOUNG PEOPLE WOULDENT KNOW THAT LIKE THESE STUPID EMPTY HEADED ACTIVISTS THEY WERENT EVEN BORN THEN, WHAT DO THEY KNOW. KLUUM

So do I take it that AmNASTY Int will guarantee the safety of Israeli Citizens by GUARANTEEING that no missiles are fired from Gaza? As for SAVE THE CHILDREN...whilst Palestinian Children in Gaza are suffering..SO ARE ISRAELI CHILDREN..in the frontline of indiscriminate rocket attacks into Israel SAVE THE CHILDREN?... Cleary choosy about WHICH CHILDREN THEY CHOOSE TO SAVE

give us gilad and we will thank about it. p.s. alive.

in the thousands, right? so, if there is an existing blockade, it obviously isn'y working, is it? So, the next question is, if the blockade were to be lifted, what other 'goodies would be offloaded in Gaza, say a few A bombs or, chemical weapons? Makes you question the combined 'wisdom' of these same nations who are going collectively bankrupt at the same time while making ridiculous 'demands' suggestions, wet dreams, whatever, ( same old rewrapped 'arabs peace' bullshit, just a new delivery boy? Oh gimme a break. Israel can ignore them or, politely tell them to go to hell.

tortured and murdered by Syria.. and all they can do is mouth tired shop worn phrases written by the saudis to try and once more force feed Israel more shit and call it sugar. What's wrong with this picture? Probably all the dead muslims murdered by other muslims.

They're condemning some sort of illegal blockade to Gaza, yet the only blockade I know of was declared legal by the U.N. This sounds fishy. I think we should check to see if there's another blockade going on there.

This kind of demand, makes me angry! I don't give a rats ass, about some "aid" groups demands. When the Palestinians look to kill my people, I will go to any length, any method, any extent to protect my fellow Israeli. Nothing is off the table, NOTHING! So, you loud mouthed, idiotic, uninformed and blinded rubbish, keep your demands in your pants, until the Palestinians decide we have the right to live. F-Off to you!

What a pathetic bunch of charlatans masquerading as 'charities' and 'international organisations' allegedly promoting health and human rights who blame Israel for imposing a legal blockade when: The egyptian border is effectively closed and when hamas and their fellow jihadi thugs choose to spend vast sums on the anti-Zionist crusade rather than on the welfare of their own people. All this is being carried out with the connivance of these self same international organisations. Israel should do nothing until terrorist attacks cease and when gazan kids are no longer raised to become terrorists. Until such a time let gaza reap what it sows.

Who started what? Did Israel start a blockade and then the Arabs started terror attacks or did the Arabs start terror attacks and so Israel made a blockade? If you know the answer to this question you are smarted than 3/4 of the world who just hate Jews 'cause we is Jews.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that as well. Maybe they mean the blockade by Egypt? Is that one legal?

I did not realize that a formal declaration of war had been made.
