Yes, I read that earlier on my news feeds. Hamas could have done so much for the people, instead they prefer war. They don't even want Abbas to go the UN on the issue of statehood. Desperation and destruction are the aims of hamas, so it seems.

It seems that most of the aid hasn't been delivered...

The aid that countries such as Turkey and Quatar had promised largely has not been delivered...as usual the Palestinians are far from being a top priority for other arab countries who are tired of their constant begging and troublemaking.

Hamas at present is using some of the aid made available for actively rebuilding its terrorist tunnel system in preference to rebuilding necessary housing for the long suffering civilians and rearming itself with missiles.

A financial crisis is developing and Gaza is once again a time bomb waiting to explode.

Of course life sucks in a barren wasteland where nothing is allowed to come in or out and the people are trapped there.

The money to pay for the supplies. Money promised by the global nations. Not Israel's responsibility. Israel will deliver only what is paid for.

The international community needs to get it's act together and resolve this...

Not if hamas wants to start another war. Not if hamas will not work with abbas to form a unity government. Not if they cannot schedule an election. Not if abbas goes to the UN without hamas support to petition for statehood. Not if the PA or hamas is unwilling to negotiate with Israel.
The global nations do not want to throw good money after bad. They want their investments to improve the situation so the two parts of the palestinians can work for a peace in the region.

No rejoicing in the suffering of others. Face it, it's just that history has proven that Palestinians will be Palestinians. They elected Hamas to govern them & now they are paying the consequences of their decision.

Palestinians have always suffered from having a bunch of corrupt terrorist thieves like Arafat and now Hamas leading them. These so called leaders incite the people into religious based violence and savagery, lining up their blood drenched pockets while their people sacrifice themselves to increase their foreign secret bank accounts.

The sadness is that this is humanitarian aid that needs to be delivered now...

Aside from those issues mentioned above, there is also the issue of all aid passing through Israel. Not that I am suggesting that Israel will deliberately withhold aid from Gaza but there is a certain responsibility being placed upon Israel to ensure that materials are used for humanitarian purposes.... I am sure that Israel is not so happy with this 'responsibility'....

A solution would be to have a '3rd party' involved, being 'responsible' for the movement and application of aid within Gaza...

Israel would never allow it even if Hamas did!

Yes there does need to be an election scheduled in Gaza, the sooner the better! Abbas needs to take control... Unfortunately I don't think that Israel particularly want that to happen... Keeping Hamas in Gaza provide Israel with 'opportunities'...

Abbas can go to the UN and petition for Statehood... The US will simply veto it... With or without Hamas... The US will ALWAYS veto it...

However, aid is needed now, putting in a '3rd party' to oversee the operation and ensure that Hamas is using materials for reconstruction and not tunnels is a no brainer...

Someone needs to let it happen!

Of course you will have seen the 'cartoon' that was posted earlier...

It is that so called 'humor' I refer to...

Just your usual magniloquence Roodboy...

 

[teddyearp]

Humanity and others. You do realize that even though Israel and Egypt have their 'blockade' of Gaza, Hamas is even more in control over the border crossings.

It escapes me now (the links to the stories I read earlier this week about this), but Abbas has tried to exercise a PA control over the Gaza crossings in an attempt to allow this aid in.

 

[Kondor3]

Elect an aggressive and militant War Party to rule over you, and support it in its attacks against its vastly more powerful neighbor, and you reap the whirlwind.

Welcome to your consequences, Palestinians.

Actually this is not too far off the mark.
