RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ Billo_Really, et al,
This is a love triangle: The PA, HAMAS, and Israel. And like it or not, to demonstrate how screwed-up I am, I think that Israel and HAMAS have a better relationship going → then does Israel and the PA. How bad is that?
When you may choose the worst report on Gaza without giving any accountability to Hamas' actions......
Trucks loaded with food enter Gaza on a daily basis. The question would be WHY doesn't that food reach those "million Palestinians" who do not have enough to feed their families? Where do the trucks and the food end up?
Hint: Hamas would know
Don't change the subject. The number of trucks going into Gaza has nothing to do with Hamas.
The number of trucks carrying food into the Gaza Strip last week was the lowest it’s reached in several months. According to Defense Ministry figures, in the 24 hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing to goods, 193 trucks entered the Strip, 171 of those carrying food, medicine and hygiene products.
A population that size needs at least 1200 trucks a day.
(COMMENT)
This is a strange situation. But Israel is trying to do on the micro level, that the Major Powers do on the Macro level. Israel is making the equivalent of sanctions for non-compliance. It is a financial set of sanctions directed against payments to various employee
(including ex-civil servants) of both HAMAS and the PA. It also targets the economy by slowing down imports
(border-crossing of truck transports) and continues the denial of fishing and motor launch operation beyond the aerial and naval blockade restrictions to limit SALW smuggling.
Most Respectfully,
