Gaza construction convoy crosses from Egypt

[Jos]

A convoy of trucks carrying thousands of tonnes of supplies donated by the Gulf state of Qatar entered Gaza via the Rafah border crossing on Saturday.

Egypt had previously followed import restrictions imposed by Israel.



Qatar has pledged more than $400m (£250m) to finance reconstruction in Gaza and improve crumbling housing, schools, a hospital and roads.

A Hamas official said it was a positive step.

"We hope that Egypt will open this crossing permanently for goods so our people can meet their needs," said Ehab al-Ghsain, head of the Hamas government's media office.

Sounds good that other neighbors are finally starting to help Gaza. The US and Israel can't afford to shoulder all the burden.

Maybe Israel should put its shoulder to the wheel and open its borders with Gaza?

Maybe Israel should put its shoulder to the wheel and open its borders with Gaza?

what for? how would "opening the borders to gaza" come to be

"putting shoulder to the wheel"?? When the borders were fairly

opened and Israel allowed gazans to have jobs in Israel ---you and

your fellow islamo nazi pigs claimed "EXPLOITATION" --there are

lots of MUSLIM LANDS with endless wealth that can employ your

fellow dogs and pigs

Are you proud of your bigotry, rosie?

Israel could end it's illegal blockade of Gaza'a coastal waters and air space if the "chosen" ones had the slightest intention of allowing democracy to take hold in the occupied territories.

Of course, we both know that has never been the Zionist plan in Palestine.

 

[irosie91]

what bigotry georgie -----do you actually insist that THE JOOOS support the people of Gaza?

We need to understand some history and acknowledge that Hamas and other rival / competing islamist terrorist syndicates view any easing of import restrictions by Israel as an invitation to import and stockpile weapons for their next attack on Israel.

We even had the carnival of comedy of the “flotilla aid groups” looking to thwart the naval blockade. It was a propaganda stunt from start to finish. The intent was to publically break a military blockade and provoke a confrontation, not to deliver goods to Hamas in Gaza. If it had been the latter, they could have done so peacefully through ports in Israel and Egypt--as was offered repeatedly. The whining regarding "International waters" is a strawman, as the flotilla had made its intent known and had come to Israeli waters and then waited for dawn to provide a better light for filming the confrontation they planned, anticipated, and for which they got.

You got to be really sick in the head to treat humanitarian aid as a threat.

The ships were attacked in international waters and were heading toward the Gazan coast, which doesn't take them into Israeli territorial waters at all.

If Israel insists on boarding humanitarian aid vessels, my solution is to send a vessel they can't board. This is what I'd send...

Sweetie, I already identified the motives of the alleged "aid" groups. It was to provoke confrontation, not deliver aid.

Please pay attention.

[irosie91]

Give up hollie------the myth of starving 'palestinians' is firmly entrenched
in the minds and 'hearts' of those who shrug at the fact that
millions of muslim kids in africa are actually starving to death
whilst Diabetes type 2 plagues the obese "pali" population---
----interestingly---a bit of starvation is good for people
prone to diabetes type 2----the palis should try it
some time----a pudgy people are they

Umm, you're kidding right?

It was a troll provocation ship used to vilify Israel.

Why would they try to break the blockade if they KNEW they would get boarded and searched !?!?

 

[irosie91]

Did everyone forget? the blockade is not illegal
Historically-----military blockades have been in use
for many many centuries The USA and UK
employed them Islamo nazi pigs have created
a libel claiming that the Gazans are under
"starvation siege"-----quite a joke----but libel is
the bread and butter of genocidal scum

Not only is it illegal, it is also a war crime. The blockade collectively punishes 1.5 million people. Most of which, committed no crime.

Because the blockade has created an humanitarian crisis and Gazan's are starving!

 

[Billo_Really]

Actually, no.

Actually, yes.

What do you think happens during an economic blockade that allows 10-15 trucks a day into an area that needs 160 trucks a day to survive?

wrong again crotch boy----you are engaging in silly sophistry which
simply ---IMMEDIATELY BACKFIRES on you. Did you know that since
1950 there has been a GENERAL BOYCOTT---not only of "ALL
PRODUCTS MADE IN ISRAEL --- BUT EVEN ON ANY COMPANY
IN THE WORLD THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ISRAEL by all
"MUSLIM LANDS" ???? the concept was that by so doing---
the pigs and dogs would accomplish a STARVATION SIEGE

"collective punishment" "WAR CRIMES"
----do not use those terms
because now you have to eat them

Such are the wages of islamic terrorism.

Most of the Western world rigorously screen ships bearing products coming into our ports, albeit not as rigorously as the Israeli navy does. But then again, most of the western world is not beset with violent, Islamic terrorist wolves at our borders, chomping at our arses.

All of the major U.S. ports for example, screen cargo deliveries and routinely screen for such things as smuggled radioactive material. I know of nowhere along the U.S. coast where a container ship could dock and unload without being inspected.

You may have even read in the newspapers that we even screen people and materials at airports. That must be why we walk through those arched thing-ees before boarding an airline. I’m always thinking we’re going to get a complimentary Big-Mac but it hasn’t happened yet. Insha'Allah empty your pockets and walk through please.
