That's an issue of customs and smuggling. Not really about fishing. You can unload a lot of shoulder-fired missiles into very small fishing boats. Therefore -- there are limits on the fishing grounds. If the PA authorities were to set up inspections for fishing boats coming back to port and showed a willingness to control arms/people smuggling coming into Gaza --- that could change.
The issue HERE is that Israel has to keep the "buffer zone" clear of scrubs/vegetation so that they can detect tunnel construction underground. That's why the "round-up" spraying.. And they are not intentionally spraying any large areas of Pali farmland. If the wind blows DURING spraying, there might be unintentional leakage of the spray. Just like happens EVERYWHERE else on the planet.
So AGAIN -- PRODUCE the chemical tests on the alleged Pali fields and show a connection to the Israeli spraying and NOT that some Palis might have manufactured the result for propaganda purposes. Got any lab tests??
I'm sure the Israelis are smart enough to put a chemical marker into the herbicide used in that buffer area to disprove claims like these...
The issue here is Israel has no legal jurisdiction in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem or the Golan Heights. Therefore, if it has no jurisdiction, then it cannot allocate that side of the fence to a "buffer zone".
If your my neighbor, do you think you have a right to declare a 10' strip of my front yard, a "buffer zone" along your front yard? And if I happen to walk into that area, you will shoot me? Do you think you have that right?
And as far as the fishermen goes, they were FISHING when they were shot at!
And as far as weapons, are you saying Gazans do not have the right to defend themselves?
