Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recently said she couldn`t believe the world community didn`t care about "the shocking violation of so many human rights". Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter have summed up the situation there as abominable. The Hamas leadership has even offered to accept a Palestinian state based on the 67 borders.
Israel`s response has been to literally choke the Palestinians into submission. It has reduced the people of Gaza to surviving on food rations, and by smuggling food and medicine through tunnels.
The World Bank said the Palestinian economy has `incredible potential` if only Israel would leave them alone
Not only does Israel never miss a chance to screw the Palestinians, it also never misses the opportunity to screw an opportunity.
As the world remembers the 70th anniversary of the Nazi`s Kristallnacht pogrom. Spare a throught for the people of Gaza. |
