Although he doesn't address the current escalation which is appalling from both sides, Grey is absolutely spot on. Israel continues to annexe land in the West Bank with no right to do so and refuses to negotiate. Whereas the Palestinian Government continues to reiterate its desire to negotiate. It had already enforced a blockade in Gaza which means no electricity on top of abject poverty and whole communities literally starving. in addition it controls the water and restricted the 6 mile fishing zone to 3 miles. Literally blowing any fishing boat that encroached further out of the water. All this at the point where Gaza is verging on a humanitarian disaster.
Hammas can't keep the terrorists in order as Clive says but neither has the Israeli Army respected previous ceasefires on the southern border. In fact the Hammas missile strikes were triggered by Israel arresting/kidnapping hundreds of Hammas officials on top of the imposed blockade. What level of provocation do those of you making the provocative statements on here belive Gaza should take before it responds by the only means at its disposal I wonder? And are some of you really so naive that you are prepared to take sound bites to form your opinions rather than genuinely understand what is happening? Propaganda is a dangerous thing in the minds of lazy people.
Let me try and create some perspective rather than try to score points. If someone cut off my electric, threatened my family, took my food to the point of starvation, kidnapped my friends, and they kept on doing it and wouldn't listen to any reason, I think I may also be provoked into a violent response if all I had left was a gun. So Using Clive's eloquence. Difficult?!
As for a 'Hammas Charter'. Seriously! They have consistently stated their willingness to negotiate whereas the Israeli Government continues to advance further beyond its borders in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and claim land that isn't there's, continuing their intent to colonise Palestine. Netanyahu's Government have no intention to negotiate, and will not stop until they have full control of the West Bank and Gaza.
I'm not religious or have any affinity to either Country. Nor am I stupid. I have followed the history of this conflict closely, not just when it makes headlines, and Netenyahu makes Putin look like a pussycat.
Still in the playground, and no change from whats becoming a predictable response and attitude. Oh we'll...............
Just to save any confusion for anyone who doesn't know what you're referring to, the post you reference is above.
I clarified the electricity statement with hard facts later which youve completely ignored for the sake of effect yet again. Do I need to do it again in words of one syllable as you clearly didn't read it or understand it. I'm not sure which?
When I talk about communities starving, perhaps you'd like to enlighten me with your definition of starving. Mine is quite simple. What's yours? For information the current estimate is that more than 400,000 Palestinans are in urgent need of food, water and shelter.
And clearly, if you could actually read, my post with regards water is talking about the ocean and the ability to fish. I've re-posted it to save you the arduous task of finding it. Shall I try posting that one in words of one syllable too?
Then perhaps you'd like to explain how my responses have been waffle and blurring. Is that clear enough for you, or do I need to put it in an even simpler form for your comprehension? If so I will until you finally stop repeating yourself, and to save everyone from getting utterly bored.
Now, if you've finally finished deflecting lets see if you can actually add something intelligent to the debate and lets hear your solution you were so keen to demand from Grassy, or are you still going to keep repeating yourself instead?
Hmmmm, it seems like Harry has now joined yourself and Clive to express an opinion that the Palestinian people should be wiped out. Given your previous tone, I presume that's your solution or am I wrong? And if I am what do you think Israel should do and how far should they go?
