U.N. Agencies May Have to Cut Gaza Aid
From the Guardian:

Several United Nations agencies may be forced to cut back or end humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip because of Israeli restrictions on their movement into and out of the territory, a U.N. statement said Friday.

Most of the 1.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are partly dependent on aid handouts, and stopping shipments there would be a disaster.

Between killing all Hamas leaders, and starving those who are not killed, I think we can see the kernel of the Israeli "solution" for Gaza. Why even bother withdrawing from a cemetery ?

2. Surprised?
Why don't you complain about a pile of money not appearing on your doorstop this morning. There's an equal likelihood of both happening.

3. Revolting
Another blatant violation of human rights and international law which Israel will NEVER be held accountable for. :mad:

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but isn't it convenient that the closer the law gets to catching up with Ariel Sharon, the more war crimes he commits? Polls dropping, need more terror, must have more terror, terror...
