> Has Israel ever accepted a Palestinian State? Yes. That is what the negotiations are all about.
> In 2009 Biden made the statement that Israel must accept a Palestinian state. > In fact this year Israel refused to stop building new settlements as > requested by the UN and its major ally the US. They refused in Jerusalem while freezing in all other places. > So to state that the reason for the current conflict over the blockade > of Gaza is because of HAMAS is completely one sided and disingenuous. > For decades Israel itself has refused to recognise the statehood of Palestine. Which is why Israel pulled 100% out of Gaza, to start moving towards a Palestinian state...until Hamas turned it into a launching pad the same day Israel got out. > The Activists, Germans, Swedes, Irish etc. have stated (I just saw an > interview) that they will not stop fighting for an end to the blockade > and the proper distribution of food and medical aid within Gaza. With 15,000 tons of food and other aid going in per week, there is proper materials going in. The question is what happens to the materials once they are in. > Numerous agencies have said that the quantity of aid getting through > is not enough to support over a million people. With statistical reports from the Palestinians of a population growth rather than mass starvation, how can those agencies be reporting what's actually happening. What are their reports based on. > Secondly, what is the requirement for Aid to be sent to a region? > Why do countries send Aid? Because they hear about suffering. > Would the EU send Aid to New York? No > Would New York send Aid to Germany? Yes > Why do places and countries need Aid? Because they don't have resources. The billions of dollars allocated to the Palestinians have not been used to develop resources so outside resources are needed. > After you answer that tell me how great things must be inside Gaza. I never said how great things are. I've said that they are not a humanitarian disaster. Israel has said the same thing. I've provided proof in the form of photos and news stories from Arabic papers to show that it's not a living hell inside Gaza. But despite all that, you keep using the "how great things are in Gaza" argument. No one is saying things are great in Gaza. No one but you in your posts...accusing others of saying it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320007 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
